Carrion scented kava

[nabanga]

I had some tradesmen in to do some work on the house 2 weeks ago, and they decided to pull the plug on my freezer to use their tools, and forgot to replace it afterwards. Unfortunately I didn't notice for over a week (the freezer is in a storeroom away from the house) until I went to get my last kilo bag of kava from the freezer. The bag had a small cut in it where customs had stuck a knife into it to get a sample, and the smell of 10kg of rotting lamb and beef in the 35 degree C heat had impregnated it.
Now I'm in Laos, and there is no inward post or kava delivery due to COVID, so there was no way I was throwing the last kilo out. The powder smelt like bloated roadkill, but after making a strong 1.5liter mix the smell went a little, and after the second shell you could hardly notice. It did leave a slight aftertaste of rotten flesh the next morning though.
Perhaps this could catch on, like the Swedish Surstromming, or the Icelandic Hakarl?

Now that's a quote for the kava history books.

Now that's a new marketing tool: Carrion scented kava: we take 'earthy' to the next level.

I use profile tag "stay rooted"...you could go with "stay rotten" or create the new small batch strain "Bloated Carcass" by Vulture Kava

and to think people thought the taste of kava could not get any worse.

Carrion is actually one of my favorite words so bonus for relating it to kava? ... lol

Not that it was ever in doubt, but no-one could question your dedication to kava now.
I wish there was some medal I could recommend you for.

I would... throw that kava in a dehydrator for a day just in case....

That is dedication deserving of my respect!
