What's more interesting is, beaver castor sacs also used as a strawberry and vanilla flavour substitute, approved by FDA.

98% of Moby Dick was concentrated on the old ass whaling industry, and based on this I believe it was actually whale phlegm

I hear the beaver glands taste like vanilla, but I can't be sure that's not just a prank people pull to get unsuspecting victims to lick beaver ass.

I'd say there should be a third arm with musk deer on it.

Semen actually became a semi-popular note in boutique fragrances some years ago, ELDO's Secretions Magnifique comes to mind.

It's really neither. It happens in the intestines to help coat and pass beaks and other inedible pointy stuff.

So it's actually whale shit.

prank people pull

Maybe it's a "prank" beavers pull.

Ambergris is what "whale vomit" is called, in case anyone didn't know. I don't know what beaver anus secretion is called.

Edit: Duh, I just read OP's note/meme. I fully approve of this use of Gordon Ramsey's likeness in connection with beaver anus secretions castor.

Sadly, they are not very cuddly, despite being friend-shaped:

Vanillin, the modern artificial vanilla flavor, is made from lignin, one of the main components of bark. Beavers eat a lot of bark, and thus process a lot of lignin. Apparently the lignin accumulates in their anal scent glands.
