Terrified neighbours fled their homes when a city was invaded by more than 150 deadly venomous cobras.
The snakes measuring between 20cm and 30cm - who were being kept by a distiller to make the ancient delicacy snake wine - had escaped into an alley in Foshan, a city in south-eastern Guangdong province of China, causing chaos.
“We had more than 100 calls in a few minutes,” said a police spokesman.
"They were popping up through cracks in walls, down gutters, out of drains, in alleyways and side-streets. Everywhere all at the same time.
The taste is rather neutral, at first, then lingers…
Similar to:
If you’ve ever chewed a Benadryl or prednisone tablet and can’t get the taste to go away.
If you’ve ever barfed until you were empty, then barfed some more and got bile - that after-taste.
I am sure there is a lot of variability, but it had a lingering unpleasant taste after a somewhat sharp, high alcohol initial burn. The one I tried was very high proof, 140 or above.
When I mentioned this to my wife she thought I was talking about this: Chef killed by severed snake head. Don’t step on them Jorge and Todd even if they are dead .
