Castoreum- You're Eating Beaver Anal Glands!!!!

[Fritzo]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castoreum

Castoreum is the exudate from the castor sacs of the mature North American Beaver Castor canadensis and the European Beaver Castor fiber. Within the zoological realm, castoreum is the yellowish secretion of the castor sac in combination with the beaver's urine, used during scent marking of territory. Both male and female beavers possess a pair of castor sacs and a pair of anal glands located in two cavities under the skin between the pelvis and the base of the tail. The castor sacs are not true glands (endocrine or exocrine) on a cellular level, hence references to these structures as preputial glands or castor glands are misnomers.

In the United States, Castoreum has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a food additive, often referenced simply as a "natural flavoring" in the product's list of ingredients. It is commonly used in both food and beverages, especially as vanilla flavoring.

I bolded everything you'll want to know. From now on, make sure that vanilla is from BEANS.

When I glanced at the title of this thread, I thought it said:

"Castration- click here and change your life"

 

[DangerAardvark]

I eagerly await the comeback of vanilla Coke.

Exactly what kind of cooks do we have out there who've said, "Mmm, you know what, this soup could really use a touch of beaver sac goo."

I wonder who the first guy (probably Canadian) to juice a beaver was.

Looks like we just found another "natural flavor" here to use.

(Hey, why not? We've already got civet coffee.)

Probably the same person who pitched "The Angry Beavers" to Nickelodeon.

I actually wanna try that coffee. It's supposed to be the shit. No really, it's like super smooth or something.

I heard about this a while ago on... MANswers. So nasty.

 

[Fritzo]

I wonder if you can get that stuff fresh? I want to watch them milk a beaver.

When I had to rename one of my characters in WOW, I was seeking something that was a bit more subtle with the vulgarity, so I chose Castoreum as that characters name. Heh.

Bugs is way better than beaver butt in my book.

 

[Specop 007]

I dont think theres enough beaver ass in production to supply the food industries needs for this substance.

 

[busydude]

This thread is really in need of some tags.

 

[OCGuy]

One more racial stereotype busted. I guess everyone eats beaver!

 

[dennilfloss]

So if you eat too much and get fat, you can say it's glandular.

 

[Duder1no]

Probably the French.

I don't mean that in a Francophobe manner, just that the French are probably the first to discover this.

 

[dennilfloss]

If they stink like canine anal glands... Maybe someone got some fluid on his fingers when draining a beaver, licked them digits and liked it.


In other words... EWW!
