Anubody ever drank any of the snake oil?

I think the closest I've come to a snake liquor was a cough syrup made from snake bile.  Fortunately, enough other stuff was added so that it actually tasted okay.  Did it help the cough?  Who knows, but after you drink it, you tend to forget everthing else except the fact that you just drank snake bile.

I, too, have had the pleasure of the snake bile potion. One time....only one time!

In Guangdong province snake is popular. Along with the live snake, killed fresh for deep frying or other means of cooking, you get the blood and bile. Restaurants will serve it up in two shot glass with alcohol in each with either the blood or bile. The blood is okay and the bile is a nice looking green, but it tastes like hell.
