Wonder how that got incorporated into food. Someone went hey I know what would make this taste better some beaver ass !

Actually, according to some naturalists who study beavers, they say their rumps do have a musky vanilla scent, ostensibly from their diet of wood and leaves and a lack of gut bacteria that's responsible for shit stink.

However, the call for castoreum is actually quite low as the process is kind'a stressful on the beavers and about as much fun as being a turkey jerker for the people who "express" the beavers' anal glands.

Although castoreum has been studied and used as a food additive for over 80 years, the reality is because of the difficulty in obtaining it, only about 272 lbs per year is produced globally.

As for how it got incorporated into food, the same question can be asked of some actual foods. Like, how did we go from seeing an egg get squeezed out of a chicken's hoo-hoo to, "Hmmm I bet those would taste good with bacon."? Mmmmm mmmm man those are some tasty chicken abortions.

Well, you can observe a raccoon or crow or what have you eating an egg. I've never seen an animal eating out a beaver's ass.

I'm sure someone in San Francisco has done this.

I guess going to a Jewish deli wasn't an option.

As long as the deli is run by Russian Jews you can usually get ham and bacon in Jewish delis in Israel, and Christian Arab Israelis have plenty of butcher shops that provide pork. Most Jews are secular and many , if not most, don't follow the dietary laws rigorously. They eat shellfish, ham and bacon, and consume dairy and meat together.

Yes, yes I can

Not at all. I never did care for either of them. However, just because I(and others) think they're disgusting to eat doesn't give me the right to "strongly demand" that grocery stores and restaurants remove them from their shelves and menus.

I guess, strictly in the name of science of course, I will have to do some research on this point. First, I gotta catch a beaver. Shouldn't be too difficult. Lots of beavers on craigslist!

Just make sure the beaver you choose doesn't have a cougar attached to it

They can get pretty chewy when they're older.

Lobster is waaaaaaay over rated. Prawns and crabs are infinitely better. Without the garlic and butter lobster is flavorless. We have burbot(sort of a fresh water cod) here, which is known as poor man's lobster, a fish with a similar flavour and texture. Don't like it unless it's battered and deep fried.

They're just over priced water bugs.
