Tell a guy he'll get a hardon, he will drink anything!
From AP, via Comcast news...
LIMA, Peru - Carmen Gonzalez plucks one of the 50 frogs from the aquarium at her bus stop restaurant, bangs it against tiles to kill it and then makes two incisions along its belly and peels off the skin as if husking corn.
She's preparing frog juice, a beverage revered by some Andean cultures for having the power to cure asthma, bronchitis, sluggishness and a low sex drive. A drink of so-called "Peruvian Viagra" sells for about 90 cents.
Gonzalez adds three ladles of hot, white bean broth, two generous spoonfuls of honey, raw aloe vera plant and several tablespoons of maca _ an Andean root also believed to boost stamina and sex drive _ into a household blender.
Then she drops the frog in.
Once strained, the result is a starchy, milkshake-like liquid that stings the throat.
At least 50 customers a day ask for steaming beer mugs of frog juice at Gonzalez's countertop-only restaurant in eastern Lima, and many treat the concoction as their morning _ and afternoon _ cup of coffee.
Rebeca Borja, a 53-year-old housewife and mother of five, originally from Lima's central highland city of Huancayo, where the beverage is common, said simply: "It gives you power."

I wonder if that stuff is more effective for people over 50. Do we know anyone to test it on?
ReplyDeleteThe poor frog.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine anything that would make me lose my libido quicker than drinking a ladle of steaming frog juice.
ReplyDeleteSV: I wouldn't drink it if it promised extra length!
ReplyDeleteCheer: I hear they don't feel a thing.
JY: Me neither!
I think those frogs have it pretty good. Really sudden, nasty headache, and then, just as suddenly, it's gone. We should all be so lucky.
ReplyDeletefor 90 cents you got yourself a deal! I mean, you can't BUY a frog for less than that in the States, let alone all the OTHER stuff that goes into it, esp. aloe!!
ReplyDeleteWatch out, Pfiser, you're in for "stiff" competition!!
