Snake Village, Eating the beating heart, Hanoi

In light of Gordon Ramsay’s trip to Vietnam last week I though I would release the video you have all been waiting to see! In his show he ate the beating heart of a snake, quite reluctantly I might add, somewhere in Ho Chi Minh City. We arranged to go to snake village in Hanoi and found out the hard way that eating beating hearts isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!

I happen to be a huge snake fan but decided that it was a once in a lifetime activity. If I did not take part I would regret it. So the evening starts and the ‘rules’ of the evening were explained.

1. Free rice whiskey all night, as much as you can drink.
2. If you want a shot of rice whiskey, you must announce it to the room.
3. Everyone on their feet with a shot in hand.
4. Everyone downs a shot each and every time anyone wants one.

As you can tell it got messy. Anyway, check out the video of me eating the heart out of the snake! If you cant see the video here, watch it on youTube.

      Hello Kay, thanks for your comment first of all. To answer your question I’m not sure about buying snake products apart from buying the wines etc from shops in Laos and Vietnam. If I find anything information I’ll be sure to let you know.

      Kind regards,

      Jack

  2. […] The group of around 25 people made it upstairs to start off the night by ripping a snakes beating heart from its body and then swallowing it! Only 4 of us got to do this but me and Jase were part of the lucky group. Another 4 people had the task of cutting the snake open, while still alive, in preparation for us. It tasted like chewing on a piece of fat, not a bad taste but still not something im looking to do again… (Watch me eat the beating heart here…) […]
