sharksfin = cartilege...
therefore, if you boil your toenails long enough, you get the SAME
THING as the sharksfin... they have NO TASTE whatsoever anyway...
people are conned into eating the thing because of snob appeal...
it's the goddamned broth that gives it the taste
birdnest = protein
a TCM university said that it is totally useless... you're better
off eating some egg white for protein... however, in birdnest,
there's a lot of feathers, bits of mites, pollen, and all kinds of
microscopic crap, including actual guano of the bird stuck in the
solidified saliva.. may cause asthmatic attacks...
think about it...
