1. Balut

For most people, this icky, slimy duck embryo is just another taboo (not to mention unappetizing) food reality shows offer to poor challengers with weak stomachs to see if they have the guts to chow down the whole thing in exchange for a wad of cash. But for countries like the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, balut is considered a staple food, and believed to be an elixir for your manhood.

2. Bull’s Testicles/Penis

Never mind all the sexual innuendos that are running through your mind as you read this. Bull’s testicles, AKA Soup Number 5 is known to unleash your inner-matador in bed. Is it because the bull’s “strength” is practically being channeled on to you by means of literally eating out the lone cattle’s genitals? Be it certified “horny” or nothing but a “bull crap”, this exotic soup delicacy can sure make your stomach turn.

3. Cobra Blood

Again, enough with the double meaning “snake” jokes and other sexual insinuations. It is highly-regarded that drinking this poisonous creature’s blood equates to playing Let’s Get It On and Sexual Healing by Al Green in full-blast. While some want it straight up, others preferred to mix the whole thing or its body fluids (bile and blood) onto the rice wine for a more flavorful experience.

4. Ambergris

Ambergris is basically sperm whale puke and/or crap. Aside from being used as fixatives for perfumes, this whale discharge can awaken your manly senses by applying and rubbing it directly to the skin. Now you know why Moby Dick is called as such!

5. Oysters

It has the appearance and texture of a slimy wad of mucus packed in a shell. Love it or hate it, oysters have been widely considered as men’s refuge to achieve a stiffy. Perhaps, it is safe to say that most guys couldn’t agree more on this. Of course, what a better way to stimulate your shaft than to partake of the appetizer that resembles a woman’s beef curtains, right, guys?

6. Tiger Penis

By ProjectManhattan  via wikipedia

Just like bull’s testicles, it is said that devouring a tiger penis will give you the endurance, stamina and the hard-on that can make a man growl for more lovin’. These feline danglers typically serve as a soup, the way soup number 5 is cooked. Looks like this is how Charlie Sheen got his tiger's blood, and why he is always “winning”. But that’s just a thought.

Ginseng Wars on TV: History Channel’s Appalachian Outlaws

You want to know what seems to be the big fuzz about ginseng? Find out on TV.

Appalachian Outlaws is a relatively new, 6-part series made and released early this year by History. It tackles about rival families trying to conquer and outsmart each other over the claims of their own share of vast land, deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains.

In search for furs, moonshine and the main cast of the show: Ginseng; These families are willing to risk jail time, even lives, just to get a chunk of the ginseng action, as well as the other riches of the Appalachian to sustain their day-to-day lives.

Talk about recapturing The Godfather and Breaking Bad fighting over turf, only set in the rural area of North America.

War over ginseng but across America, has been running for quite sometime now, and it continues to rise whether the camera rolls or not. To know more why Appalachian locales outsiders alike are clamoring about the “Green-Gold” plant root known as American Ginseng, here are some quick facts about it:

-    Ginseng, along with moonshine and fur, is the primary source of income in the Appalachian Mountains. This explains the rising feud between families and locales that are situated in the said mountain region of North America.

-    The supply of American ginseng is slowly deteriorating. As an alternative for its natural cultivation process (wild method), wild simulation is being utilized to help its sustainability. This allows landowners to cultivate their own ginseng plant, provided that they should acquire permits, certificates and other licenses from US Fish and Wildlife Service.

-    Wisconsin, particularly in Marathon, is known to be the largest ginseng producers in America, supplying a record high of 97% of the total ginseng production in the US.

-    Unlike any other ginseng that is grown in America, Wisconsin ginseng proves to be more potent and effective, containing a higher concentration level of ginsenosides, a compound responsible for the medical effects found in the plant root.

-    Harvest of ginseng is strictly regulated. One of the stipulations is the plant must have at least three leaves to the maturity of the ginseng (at least 5 years.). For the state of Illinois, it requires at least four leaves (10-year maturity) before it can be legally harvested.

-    The cost of ginseng can be as high as $1,000 per pound. This explains why some landowners, families, poachers and other ginseng players are willing to literally get their hands dirty for this plant.

Appalachian Outlaws premiered last January 9, 2014 in the US, and will be shown in Asia on August 21, 2014. Intrigued ginseng followers can also binge watch reruns on various video sites.
