Snake Wine, Vietnam

Produced by infusing a whole snake in rice wine or grain alcohol, snakes have long been considered good for vitality and health in South East Asia, and proponents say a shot or two can cure all ailments from baldness to impotence.  Snake Village, an area of bars and restaurants in Hanoi, offers customers the chance to try freshly made snake beverages prepared right in front of them. A ‘beating heart’ shot apparently slips down smoothly, and afterwards you can fill up on snake steak and crispy snake skin too.
