访谈录 2011-04-13&04-15 食神吉米·奥利弗专访

There was one point you were talking to a bunch of kids and you said that vanilla¹ ice cream contains beaver².

Beaver anal gland³, yes. Oh, come on, you’re telling me you don’t like beaver anal gland? OK, if you’ve ever had...

You have sprinkled with that, son. …beaver anal gland?

Listen, listen, you may, you may well...

You make that up.

It's a product called castoreum. It comes from, basically, rendered beaver anal gland. It's in cheap strawberry syrups⁴ and vanilla ice cream. If you like that stuff, next time you put it in your mouth, just think of anal gland.

OK, Bryan, stop me.

Can I just tell...

But, wait a minute, wait a minute, when did that become OK?

What happens in the food industry, while the cat is away, the mice will play. And that's the point of the show. The point of the show is to tell the story of where food comes from.

But why beaver?

More to the point, who found out that the beaver anal gland tastes good? You know what I mean.

Hey, Larry, isn’t this like ice cream? Come on over here. Give it a lick, Larry.

It tastes so good.

Oh, my god!
