Is this the world’s strangest luxury? Nestled in the neon chaos of Bangkok’s Yaowarat, you’ll find vendors serving this ancient mystery: Bird’s Nest drink. It’s a staple of traditional recipes and food history. For centuries, this "liquid gold" was so rare and expensive it was reserved only for Emperors. The secret? It’s made from the hardened saliva of swiftlets found in limestone caves. Known in culinary anthropology as an elixir for health and skin, it’s now a accessible piece of food heritage you can enjoy on a plastic stool for just a few dollars. It’s sweet, refreshing, and a must-try for any curious soul. Now be honest: Knowing what it’s made of... would you take a sip? Let me know in the comments! 👇 Culinary anthropology research in Bangkok Chinatown. Tasting traditional Bird's Nest soup at Yaowarat night market.

🇫🇷 Depuis trois jours, Damien Seguin était dans des vents calmes dû à la Zone de Convergence Intertropicale, plus couramment appelée « Pot-au-Noir ». Cette période de vent léger a permis au groupe de poursuivants de se rapprocher du skipper d'APICIL. Heureusement pour Damien, il a repris du vent depuis ce matin et fonce désormais en tribord amure en direction des Açores. 🇬🇧 For three days, Damien Seguin had been sailing in calm winds due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone, more commonly known as the “Doldrums”. This period of light winds allowed the chasing pack to close in on the APICIL skipper. Fortunately for Damien, he has picked up the wind since this morning and is now heading for the Azores on starboard tack. ------------------------ ➡️ SUIVEZ-NOUS ! // FOLLOW US ! 🔗 Website : www.vendeeglobe.org 📸 Instagram : / vendeeglobe 🐦 X FR : / vendeeglobe | X ENG : https://x.com/VendeeGlobeENG 🕺 TikTok : / vendee_globe 💻 Facebook : / vendeeglobe 💼 LinkedIn : / vendée-globe
