Fermented Mare Milk aka Kumis - Why Would You Eat That
Horses are not an animal you typically think about milking, but long ago somebody had the crazy idea that they should milk horses, ferment that milk, and serve it as a slightly alcoholic beverage. It may seem strange, but in some parts of the world kumis is still a popular drink. Which leaves us wondering Why Would You Eat That? Subscribe: http://goo.gl/Z7lbS

Kumis is basically just fermented mare’s milk. It’s that simple, and nowadays the fermentation process is far easier than it used to be. The drink is so popular in certain regions that in Japan the soft drink Calpis is intended to mimic the flavor of kumis.
In certain areas it’s more than just a drink, it’s a cultural link to the past, but for years people have also made link between kumis and certain health benefits. In the past it was touted as a cure for ailments like Tuberculosis, Bronchitis, and Anemia. And while these claims are pretty much unsupported by science the alcohol in the drink will certainly make you feel a little better.
On Why Would You Eat That? we scour the globe for the most bizarre foods and explain why anyone would be crazy enough to eat them. You'll be shocked to see how one man's trash can actually be another man's delicacy. Don't forget to subscribe to Tasted, support us on Patreon, so we can keep these episodes a-comin’!
