Are they saying it ain't so? Then, they're lying. In the summer, you used to be able to get it right on the sidewalk in Jongno 5-ga. And I've seen snake soup being made in the back of one of the old outdoor markets in eastern Seoul, right in front of the cages filled with meat dogs and the rack from which they hang the poor beasts when they beat them to death. All that adrenaline makes for pretty stiff meat, but I guess the people who go in for that stuff subscribe to the sort of magical thinking that you are what you eat. I've also seen them making and men drinking snake piss soup, which is a bargain in Korea compared to Japan (where they generally feed the snakes saki rather than soju, although Ive also seen perfectly good sochu - which is infintiely superior to soju -- being wasted like this in Japan too) and various other concoctions involving the fresh from the snakes innards to the customer intake before the latter runs off up the street to the brothel. Hell, I've seen 'em making supposedly dick-stiffening stuff up out of millipedes and centipedes. Blech! What’s Naver’s complaint? Are they saying it ain’t so? Then, they’re lying.
