This Might Be The Most Disturbing Food Ingredient Ever

Who would have thought that a quick banter of words between Jamie Oliver and Davie Lettermen would result in me questioning the idea of ever eating strawberry sauce or ice cream ever again.  In this conversation Jamie Oliver brought to light a particular ingredient in those treats called castoreum.  It's very common (apparently) and apparently is derived from the rectum of beavers.  I'm sure the French and Greeks have known this for years (since "castor" is the French coming from the Greek for beaver) and I'm sure they're laughing they're heads off about it.
