Q: Turtle blood soup?
I was looking at Farewell My Concubine the other night and there's this one scene where they lure a turtle to extend its neck and bite something, and which point they cut its throat open and basically make a nice little blood soup.
Now, I don't particularly want to taste it, but is this still around? Can this little ritual still be found in restaurants in China? Is it more a southern or northern thing?

That is...informative? So basically it cures almost anything? Of course.
Yes, like the mushroom tea !. And by the way, I do feel a lot better, stronger and healthier after two months of it. So, in some obscure way, it must be doing something good.

Well, like I said, if you can't overdose on it, drink it all you want. Mushrooms are good for you.
