Sometimes I read about dumb things people do and think: “Maybe we should just stand back and watch.” This is one of those times.
So will regular alcohol, just not as quickly.
I vote for something else.
Not sure how true this is but I've heard that some alcoholics would mix a can of hairspray with water to create an intoxicating beverage.
A friend of mine who lives in Russia says during the USSR period when there was a vodka shortage, people would apply shoe polish to a piece of bread. The component ingredients would separate out, and people would eat the alcohol soaked bread.
Putrid meat undoubtedly goes well with a red wine enema passed around the table...
Is there a plant-based “impossible” version of rotten meat? Oh, yeah. Weed.
High meat (fermented) has been eaten in northern climates for ages. It is a legitimate preservation method, many have survived winter with it.
Historically they’d bury meat in a dug hole and cover it loosely with leaves and grass and things. If they pack the covering too tightly it goes anaerobic and they’re dead, a few die this way every year.
But it’s drastically more safe than depicted in this article. It’s not hard to learn to do it safely and what to watch out for, air it out every few days. The taste is a bit shocking/overwhelming (notes of ammonia, cheese, a kind of spicy/hot sensation somehow). It’s an acquired taste but people learn to tolerate and eat it regularly.
It’s a great source of probiotics, and avoids many of the cancer causing compounds associated with cooking
Hmmmm, bet you could chase the rotten meat with the urine from folks doing “shrooms” * and get a real buzz going.
All natural ingredients, “all organic” too!
*According to Mixtli, the native narrator of Gary Jennings’ novel “Aztec”, the desert dwelling Chicimec (Dog People, from their diet I suppose?) tribe on the northern borders of the Aztec empire would consume hallucinogenic mushrooms as a sacrament in their religious rites.
Supplies being limited, only the big shots of the tribe, the sachems and shamans, got to consume the edibles in question.
However... someone discovered that the urine of the mushroom eaters would also cause hallucinations in those consuming same.
The effect could be sustained over several recyclings, with the renal output of each social class being “passed” to the next, lower class until no doubt the effect came to resemble that of drinking “light beer”....
A new Darwin Award chapter.
Might work with early 20th century American liquid shoe shine. The dissolved coloring and gloss components would attach to the starch of baked wheat goods. Bread acts as a filter as the polish is poured through a slice, yielding a stream of mostly the purified solvent (alcohol)—lore passed down from participants of the Great Depression.
The Russians are very creative in times of great need for hooch.
