 · Snake Blood CocktailBangkok, Thailand · Added 5th Dec 2007 Thought I'd start my Wishlist off with something fairly disgusting ... ;) And no dodgy comments about it being an aphrodisiac please haha ----- ... but swilling a little snake blood – that’s another matter. The blood of poisonous snakes is considered the supreme aphrodisiac in many parts of eastern Asia, including Thailand. The blood of a cobra - the supreme aphrodisiac. Apparently any poisonous snake will do, but cobra blood is definitely the crème de la crème of snake bloods. This has elevated snake farming, particularly that of cobras, to both an art and a profitable business for enterprising farmers. As with virtually all foods, a fresh product is considered best. If you feel your sexual batteries need charging, a shot of cobra blood may be what the doctor ordered. If you choose this aperitif be forewarned: unscrupulous proprietors have been known to substitute other substances for snake blood. It is probably best insisting the blood be extracted while you watch. This can be done at Klong Toey market on the corner of Ratchada and Rama IV. An enterprising proprietor will let you observe as he extracts the blood for your drink. Some people simply gulp down a shot of the stuff, but this is a bit crass. A more civilized practice is to drink blood that has been mixed with alcohol – sort of a Bloody Mary made with real blood.
