adam Said :
yeah you can also get birds nest soup, which i think is some sort of bird nes from its own saliva, yum lol
xtina Said :
um, both the drink and the soup are actually made from a certain bird's saliva.....some sort of swallow which lives in caves in china..it uses its saliva to "glue" together its nest, so people take the nest and extract the saliva, which has a jelly like consistency, to make the drinks/soups. but in the process a lot of preservatives/chemicals are added, which negates the supposed "health benefits" of these things...
FROM SINGAPORE! LOL
