Actually, now that I think of it, I also, with the help of Loony
Co-Conspirator, Master Ateno of Annun Ridge, made a small
experimental batch of ox-knuckle wine, using the basic method for
tiger-bone wine (steeping said animal product in the secondary
fermentation of either kumiss, sorghum or rice wine/mash). Suffice it
to say that kumiss with a piece of beef shin steeped in it as it
ages/ferments secondarily is not significantly less tasty than
ordinary kumiss. I can't vouch for its medicinal properties, but the
yeasts seem pretty clearly to break down and eat the meat.
