8. Korea: Baby Mice Wine
Baby mice wine is an incredibly potent Korean concoction that is made of fermented mice fetuses and rice wine. The process for making the wine is simple: mice fetuses are harvested when they are only a few days old and don’t yet have hair or open eyes; then multiple mice are dropped into a bottle of rice wine and left to ferment for at least one year. The resulting wine has been described as tasting like “roadkill mixed with gasoline”. Although that combo may not sound too appealing, Baby Mice Wine is credited by folk-medicine to be the cure to almost any ailment, from asthma to liver disease.
