[Sca-cooks] Musk flavor?

[johnna holloway]

Came across the following:
Musk (Oil): Dried secretion painfully obtained from musk deer, beaver,
muskrat, civet cat, and otter genitals.  In perfumes and in food
flavorings. Alternatives: labdanum oil (which comes from various
rockrose shrubs) and other plants with a musky scent. Labdanum oil has
no known toxicity.

This at least turns up in merchant lists and sites, although it's
expensive and most don't specify food safe.
