Incredible Food Facts

From Listverse

The worcestershire sauce and coconut milk "facts" are news to me.

    I knew about a lot of those already, but not the soup. I'm pretty sure I don't have a pot big enough to cook a hippopotamus.

      Camsheecken--the Bedouin version of turducken. Dynamite is made with peanut oil? Another thing kids with peanut allergies have to be careful around now!

        We do have a local coffee shop that has the kopi luwak for sale when its available. They have a waiting list. Kid you not. They sell as soon as it arrives. They got some in Sept/Oct and just as i was working up the gumption to do a shot ($16) but by the time I did (one week later) they sold out.

          The only reason I knew the Worcestershire sauce one is because in some snack mixes are not vegetarian friendly - and I couldn't figure out why. So, beware Chex Mixers and Bloody Mary drinkers.

          The other ones were interesting as well.
