Finding it hard to wrap your head around an experience like this? Blogger Anna at TravelPod described the experience like this:
"We stood around them and watched as they slit the live snake and then furrowed around for the heart and swallowed it whole while it was still pulsating...Once the heart had been removed the blood was squeezed into a nearby glass and mixed with the local snake moonshine. In another glass a bile cocktail was prepared by squeezing all the green gunk from it's stomach."
Some of the other items on the menu included moonshine containing snake, crushed snake bones with poppadoms, grilled snake, snake spring rolls, crispy snake skin, and more.

Hello, i just saw your page on Google, and I already bought these on http://www.buy-snake-wine.com but i wonder where to find other snake related products, any idea ?
And do you know if we should call snake antivenin or snake antivenom ?
Thanks for your help.
