STOCKHOLM, Sweden, - Anal secretions from beavers can be used in baked goods to create a taste that resembles vanilla, The Swedish National Food Agency said.
The agency confirmed the use of the anal passages after rumors about the beaver's secretions circulated on the Internet, The Local.se reported.
"Natural aromas can be extracts from plants, fungi, and in some cases animals." Ulla Beckman Sundh, an agency representative reported.
But she said the beaver will likely not become a common source of vanilla, as the supply is limited because the beaver is not bred.
Beavers were wiped out in Sweden in the 19th century, but the population has grown to 100,000 after the animal was imported, The Local.se said.
The next time you are out chasing beaver.

Must be all they drink in the WH.
I clicked on this story just to read the comments. Others didn’t disappoint with their observations and humor, LOL.
Must not have tasted like chicken.
I am positive my MIL uses anal secretions in all her cooking.
Don’t want to go there. Just don’t. Way to easy!

Are we headed back to the Beaver Butt essay ?
Ever get the feeling that some of these scientists come up with this stuff at a bar they go to after work?... “Hey, Joe, I’ll bet you a hundred dollars I can get some fool to eat anal secretions from a beaver’s butt and say it tastes like vanilla.”
“Can not.”
“Can too.”
“Within a day?”
“Within a week.”
“You’re on.”
Governor Huey Long went into a New Orleans delicatessen & asked what was the special of the day. The proprietor replied they had some wonderful smoked beef tongue on rye.
“You think I’m gonna eat something what came out of some animal’s mouth!!?” the Kingfish exclaimed. “You go fry me a couple eggs!”
A homosexual scientist once told me that anal excretions from beavers taste great. I told him that he might be confused and not really homosexual.
Is this true? LOL!
You know, if the Swedish Bikini Team wanted to serve me cookies with beaver turds in them, I’d dunk those cookies in cat turd coffee and ask for seconds.
Uh... no.
Anyone who’s ever smelled beaver castor knows that it’s bad stuff.
That is where artificial vanilla comes from.

is on that ping list-—lol
