Drink - the toe? For those of us thousands of kilometers away, can you explain what strange and probably amazing Canadian tradition this is, please?

  An alcoholic drink with the toe of some famous dead person in it. You don't eat/drink the toe - you give it back after you are done with the drink. Google "Sourtoe Cocktail" for more info (or maybe don't :)

    From what I searched, it seems to be the toe of a random person who donates it. Not quite the same allure but still a cool idea. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/sourtoe-cocktail https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/sourtoe-cocktail

      Toes have been stolen or swallowed (yup) over the years and replacements have been donated. There's now a hefty fine for anyone who wants to swallow the toe.

    Thanks for the reply... I googled. Amazing tradition. Not sure I'd like to participate ;)
