@ workinggal77 saffron is bitter and smells like hay. Its mostly desired for its color which bleeds into food or textiles and turns it into a pretty color. A little goes a long way.

With the White Truffles they prefer to use dogs nowadays. Female Pigs can sniff them out a little better but pigs eat truffles. Dogs, however, do not like them. Therefore they have no product loss with dogs.

You know, at first glance I was turned aback from the excessive prices established for these cuisines while there are people starving in this world. But, why not, if you got it enjoy!

my relatives on my mom’s side of the family tried to make me eat it. i think i had the same problem at the time i heard it was bird spit. but for the sake of health, I am now taking it regularly.

btw, i don’t buy the super-expensive kind like old people do. the ready-to-drink kind at the stores are pretty affordable. (e.g. http://www.geocities.jp/hongkong_bird_nest/index_e.htm)

Wow….
Coffee from some cute rodent’s sh** pardon the french
Soup made out of a nest of bird ‘s spit
Sashimi out of a fish that could potentially kill you
Beer massaged beef from the land of the rising sun
Fish eggs from Ahmadinejad’s neck of the woods
Fancy dug dirt mushrooms
Edible gold?
What exactly does saffron taste like again?
So being that I’m poor working class, am I missing out on anything? Just checking…

well,Chinese people believe that bird nest has a lot of benefits when you eat it continually. They believe to eat bird nest while the mother are giving birth, it brings good stuff like your skin would be clean and great also great for your baby’s brain.
It should be something more than just believe because it’s a traditional Chinese food that means if it is just a bullshit, why they believe from a long time ago??
What makes it expensive because the bird are getting rare but the increase comes from the people who want to eat them.
Even the bird nest is expensive, but it play some rule in Hongkong . So there are people who making money to live with.
From my opinion, when you has more money to spend, it’s all up to you. You already work hard for making the money and it’s good when you spent it for something different.
