The Green Man pub in Wellington’s CBD is offering a unique alcoholic beverage for the more refined of drinking palates – a slightly perverse mixture of chilled stag semen, kiwifruit and Greek yogurt that has been described by the Green Man’s events manager as ‘actually not that bad’.
Sarah Wood – the event manager in question – said to DPA that: “Once you get past the fact that there is stag semen in it, it is actually quite a nice wee concoction.”
There’s urine in there as well? Oh wait…
Wood said that while a few customers had tried the Green Man’s latest semen related drink (in 2011 the same pub offered discerning patrons shots of apple infused horse semen) they are waiting for a Friday night to really gauge the reaction.
“We are waiting for some game punters to come in and give it a go.”
The Green Man’s aforementioned horse semen offering – the pub’s entry into the 2011 wild food challenge – proved such a hit with the locals that it never actually reached the judges table.
“We actually sold out of the horse semen before the judges came in.”
Needless to say, hopes are high amongst the Green Man’s staff that their icy stag semen will have just the same level of success. If anything, they might be hoping it’s a little less successful than its spermy predecessor with the punters in order for it to actually reach the gullets of the judges.
For you delectation, here are a few quease-inducing facts about the ‘stag’s roar’: sourced from a seven-year-old by the name of Hannibal, each shot has a sperm count of around 400 a piece.
Keen punters ought to be happy in the knowledge that Hannibal is in rude health and his seed is of the highest ‘export quality’. Whatever that means.
“You would call him a perfect stag really, he is healthy, his semen is export quality,” said Ms Wood proudly. “Obviously he doesn’t do it just for us, but I’m sure he would be totally supportive of what we are doing.”
Bottoms up, Kiwis.
