My Latest Experience In India: India’s New Soft Drink (Ready for a “shock”?)


The Japanese had pioneered urine drinking as natural medicines, now the Indians push the edge even further, making a soft drink from cow urine. I couldn’t believe my ears it was real, but here is what I found out. See it for yourself to believe. “Seeing Is Believing ” as the song says in the musical ‘Aspect of Love’  by Michael Ball being the main character in the musical. We all know the Hindus think cows are holy. On top of it, according to the news and to a fiend of mine, who let me try it (after having drunk some), think drinking “cow water” as I’d rather call can “purify” your soul. Cow urine and dung are actually consumed by some Hindus in religious rituals. Although the new soft drink is made of cow urine, it is filtered clean and added herbs medicines. Apparently, the company claims it tastes good (not much to me though), and very healthy (I’m not so sure of this claim). For those who will travel to India, I dare you try a bottle of this new soft drink.

Owing to the nature of my job, I do travel a lot and during these travels I have had varied experiences on food and drinks. Talking about food, in Taiwan, Taiwanese (some of them obviously) even eat human foetus preserved in a solution they’ve got to process such a “delicacy”. Believe me I’ve seen instances of this. So “cow water” or cow urine as a soft drink is not bad at all.

In China, as you may probably know, they have all sorts of BBQs, apart from the “usual” and “universally” accepted BBQs you know of. Many of these BBQs in China are scorpion BBQ, seahorse BBQ, fried rice field rats, raw monkey brain in Chinese small bowls with squeezed lemon juice on it (I did try its meat though, and to be honest, it is pretty delicious. It’s a clean animal, for this type of money does not stay on the ground, but on trees feeding on tender tree leaves and fresh fruit of trees compared to pork from pigs fed on artificial animal feeds and some other stuffs, etc. in the West), dog’s flesh in Vietnam whose meat I tried some this summer) triples the price of beef, to mention but a few.

What about “Zarajos”, a typical delicacy in Cuenca, Spain? Have you tried some or at least seen in many bars even in Madrid that serve this food (I had some, just for the heck of it)?  … don’t know what they are? Well, they’re lamb’s intestines entangled in a vine twig. They’re being prepared by halving the thing and fried and being served with a vino tinto de Rioja Red Rioja wine or whatever wine or even beer. For those of you who love Spanish tascas, mesones, tabernas, and bars for a drinking spree on a week-end, you might want to have a try.

And what about grass snails (caracoles), a French delicacy and in the region of Catalunya (Spain) and to some extent, even in Madrid fish stalls. Snails are not uncommon to see being displayed for human consumption. Or even cochinillo (suckling pigs) or any pork product. Don’t ever mention this to a Muslim for this is an unthinkable and “forbidden” topic to talk about for them and for strict vegans.

So next time when you ever travel to India, you might want to bring back a few bottles back home of this new Indian soft drink. What a “perfect” gift it would be for your family and friends! Would you dare? How open your mind is to this expanding world “progress” (so-called “progress”) on drinks and foods?

NOTE: If I did alter your self-altering consciousness by reading this, or may not even dare to continue reading it, I do ask for forgiveness, for it is not a popularly and commonly accepted issue to talk about. My aim is purely “educational” and informative.
