Drinking snake blood in Vietnam (pics)
 

Only in Vietnam can you eat a dog and a snake in the same day. Here we stop by a snake restaurant to buy a snake, kill it, and drink its blood for power. Or something like that. They said it was a poisonous snake but fuck if I know... when your drinking snake blood, a snake is a snake.

All I can really say about what happened here is that it's all fun and games until you almost vomit and snake blood shoots out of your nose. Not a pleasant experience, trust me on this one.

The blue pill looking thing is the Gall Bladder. The person who buys the snake is the lucky fuck who gets to eat it. Sometimes it sucks ass being the boss. Though you don't chew it, you just swallow it with a drink of blood. Then you can take the rest of the snake home to skin and eat the meat. I passed on this one and gave the meat to my Vietnamese friend. I gotta draw the line somewhere.

But it wil make you stronger. Or so they say....

Ugh..I don't know how they can drink that shit

I drank that shit!!! And would not do it again.

:Oh crap :Oh crap

I forgot to add, they mix rice wine in with the blood to thin it out some. It gives it a little kick.

if there's no healt risk I have no problem doing it .......... might need a few shots of tequila beforehand though

ill try that shit out.

no thanks ill stick to beer :1orglaugh

Couldn't tell ya if there is or not. We are still alive... :thumbsup

Not interested in snake blood, but the meat is pretty tasty cooked with some aslt over an open fire.

They were telling me that, but I could only digest so much snake in one sitting.

No thanks ill pass

I was in vietnam two years ago and did the same shit hahaha... it's pretty cool, did they take out the heart and put it on the table for you so you can see that it's still beating? Pretty cool shit.. i also got a video of this too, i'll post it if anyone wants to see it.

:Oh crap :Oh crap

I hate snakes.

Looks good, I wished they served snake at restaurants in Socal. It's hard enough just finding rabbit.

Thats crazy. I'm not down with that. I was pre-vet in college studying to be a herpatoligist (reptiles). Kinda makes me sad.

thats nasty

That is hardcore

Wow 4 smilies in one thread..you are the man :thumbsup

Herpetologist... I see why you changed majors.

you're a wildman i love it... but something tells me snake guts were the only type of guts on your menu.....

that is nuts.

Nuts is when I post the pics of them skinning the dogs..... :helpme

Leave it to those dirty little slants to come up with something like this

damn thats crazy stuff.

Yummy....

Holy crap.. I think, I'll take the pass
