Holy shit… Many moons ago, miner and rumrunner Louie Linken had his frostbitten toe amputated and preserved in a jar of alcohol … for posterity. Decades later, it was discovered by a local Yukon captain, who brought it to a saloon as a surprise garnish. The original toe lasted seven years before a replacement was needed, and since then, a whole foot’s worth of toes have been donated to the bar. For those who dream of joining the Sourtoe Cocktail Club, there’s only one rule: “You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but the lips have gotta touch the toe.” |

and then there's William Buckland who is purported to have accidentally eaten part of Louis XIV's heart. |

Ay, been to that bar. Was too young to try that but iirc they also had a BLT with a literal pound of bacon on it, so I was chilling. Not sure if I could ever take that challenge, but i would at least consider it in the moment |
