Blood snake, adder Passion?

Sate the curiosity of the sense of a snake, take me to the Mangga Besar, West Jakarta, last weekend. Apparently, not hard to find. Just a few meters walk to the Lokasari, me and two friends had found the tents this mix reptile menu.

Well, the sellers, too, presents a fresh and snakes are still alive are specially placed in rectangular cages.

From a distance, I've seen the twisted body of the snakes, as if dancing to welcome the night. My feeling when it's casual, but, when the distance is getting closer, there is a stirring inside my stomach, mules feels as if they looked at me and hissed sticking out her tongue.

Honestly, I was horrified by these venomous animals. Fortunately, I was not alone. Two of my friends, also felt 'weak' second-look swing lenggak these snakes up close. (He.. He.he. ..)

However, we do not immediately stop at the first stall earlier. We also, continue the search, while choosing which one to stall we stopped.

After passing through several vendors snake, I decided to eat a snake in the Cobra 34, because, the snake is more diverse than previously stalls. Besides the cobra, there are also sand snake (wuih.. Gedhe really), striped snake, wooden snake and King Cobra.

In addition, there are also meat monitor lizards, monkeys and squirrels. We ordered a serving of satay snakes, lizards and satay soup lizards. Mmm ... blood drink ya? Well, I'm still undecided, between bold and not. Think about it later lah ...

If you just want to enjoy the meat, the vendors of these snakes are preparing fresh meat from home. Meanwhile, the snakes are still alive, usually in a special designation for those who want to drink fresh blood. Seller, directly 'kill' the serpent and his blood to serve the customer.

According to the salesman, Mr. Uwi, snake meat could help cure rheumatism, asthma and gout. Most of the visitors, was eating a snake to cure their disease.

Some, choosing to purchase raw meat to be cooked at home. Typically, contrived soup.

"If you make the drug, preferably twice a week or once a week eating snake meat. Most who come here are looking for meat to medications, especially asthma," explained Uwi that have opened stalls since 1992.

Meanwhile, fresh snake blood, complete with marrow, is believed to increase stamina and passion especially for men. Especially for men, Uwi will add torpedo snakes in snake blood drink potions. Then, the efficacy of marrow is to eliminate back pain and sore.

"Make a man impotence, drink snake blood on a regular basis can increase arousal. In addition to the snake blood, monkey brains could also be fresh for the impotence drug," he added. Wow!

Sate Snake, Lizard and Sop Sate Lizard

Finally cobra snake satay, satay soup lizards and lizards are present in front of us. Spice satay, satay with condiments in general, there are two choices, seasoning soy sauce or peanut sauce. I choose both.

First, I ate kebabs cobra. Wow, the meat was quite tough enough, so I have to eat a little hard work. Tastes like beef but rather plain (plain).

Then, I tried to sate lizards. Hmm ... meat of this one was more okay than snakes. Komodo has a fiber structure that is more subtle than the snake, so the more tender and tasty. Not bad.

Sop biawaknya? Strong with the aroma of spices, such as soup drug from China. My guess is not wrong, because in a clear broth, there are various Chinese spice mixture dominated by the ginger.

"Secret marinade dong. The recipe is derived from the Chinese, where my sister works first," explained Uwi.

When we were enjoying the meat, there is a pair of visitors who came in and ordered the snake blood. Well, there is a chance to see the manufacturing process. Initially, I think the order is the man, but wrong, because this herb will be drunk by a woman aged around 20's.

The selected herbs are complete menu consisting of three types of snakes, striped, wood and cobras. More joss, Uwi said. Because each has its own advantages dala blood. Cobras for rheumatism, sand for uric acid. Of course, stamina enhancer.

This package worth USD 90,000, with or without meat. Flesh-meat, can be directly broiled on the spot or taken home. If you just want his blood, yes, fortunately the seller, because it can be made sate for other customers. If only one type of snake, priced at Rp 50,000.

Uwi immediately take action. The snake was taken from the cage, his head clamped and, duh ... straight cut, right in the head. With agile, the trickle of fresh snake blood, poured in small glasses. Also do not have the heart to feel, seeing the snake was still writhing body a few moments, before finally silent, lifeless.

Afterward, he took the marrow from the snake's body slowly and put in the same glass. Since subscribers are women, Uwi not include torpedoes.

After that, the snake immediately separated from his skin, for making satay. Blood and marrow and then mixed wine and honey, to remove blood from the rancid flavor. "It's sweet, really, more robust flavor araknya, does not seem to drink blood," he explained.

Potion three were ready to drink snake blood. We're curious to wait before ordering the woman's reaction, because, he is also the first time to drink fresh blood. Apparently, she can take successfully. "Like wine," he said briefly.

Finally .... Blood Serpent

As a result, look at next to our female visitors are able to spend blood, my friend and 'challenging' me to drink blood.

"We're here here, dear khan if you do not try to drink his blood. That girl wrote it," he said. Hmm .... with a few misgivings, I finally also the message fresh cobra blood. But, enough of one type of snake alone. Mr. Uwi, offered blood mixed with Fanta, if not mixed wine.

"Want to Fanta mixed it sis, I'll taste better, richer flavor Fanta. Rasa Fanta blood will dissolve in it," he explained. But, on second thought, responsibility, too. I decided to use a mixture of wine and honey.

When blood is presented, wuihh ... I am so deg-deg-an. Fear of vomiting. But I have to try this. After a deep breath, I drink this concoction of fresh blood, and ... wow ... I made it ... I managed to drink it with double-swallows.

Sweet, thick and taste wine taste .... still left a little blood in my throat!
