Bumblebeer: noun. Distilled liquor made of bumblebee
juice extract. The beverage was first consumed by the Celtic population in
modern day Ireland where bumblebeer
is, to this day, called “beoir ó Na súnna an ollphéist Ag eitilt,“ roughly translating
to “beer from the juices of the flying monster.” It´s history can be given with
some precision and several sources from chronicles written by Viking scribes
describe bumblebeer as particularly
disgusting, especially when combined with mushrooms prepared for ritual
purposes by Celtic druids. In the modern day, there are many organisations campaigning
against the consumption of the liquid, saying that the way in which it is
obtained (a way that is too gruesome for this blog to go through without
getting censored) is unfathomably inhumane.
