It's very common to eat bird's nest where I come from (Singapore), as it's supposed to be great for the complexion and for "cooling down" the body - something we really need in this humid part of the world. Bird's nest in different grades is easily available in stores, i.e. even your just-around-the-corner neighbourhood store may sell bird's nest. So it's hardly a rarity and not expensive, if you go for the average grade. Do try it if you happen to come by our "exotic" island. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Catherine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 30th 2008 9:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Food: Bird's Nest Soup]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/01/30/the-world-of-rare-food-birds-nest-soup/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/01/30/the-world-of-rare-food-birds-nest-soup/</guid><description><![CDATA[GROSS!!

Surely there are better things on earth to eat than these horrible things.  Bird's Nest soup is nothing but filthy!  I am so thankful I am vegeterian.  Certain horrible  things that some people eat are astounding! Thank God for the USA and their culture.  Dogs and cats are pets in our country, and we feed the birds and other wildlife for their survival.  <br>Surely these poor folks could do better than eat such nasty things.  You are, what you eat!  I have always heard! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 2nd 2008 10:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Food: Bird's Nest Soup]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/01/30/the-world-of-rare-food-birds-nest-soup/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/01/30/the-world-of-rare-food-birds-nest-soup/</guid><description><![CDATA[THIS STINKS!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 2nd 2008 10:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The World of Rare Food: Bird's Nest Soup]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/01/30/the-world-of-rare-food-birds-nest-soup/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/01/30/the-world-of-rare-food-birds-nest-soup/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes they do still eat monkey, lion, tiger, etc. parts over there and sell them too.  There was a special on it not too long ago.  A restaurant owner gave the guy a regular menu, but the guy inquired as to something else and the owner had the guy pull a different menu out from the bench he was sitting on!<br><br>So no, that crap has not stopped.  And yes, it still goes on over there!
