  Here's another list of some pretty interesting facts about different food and their combinations.   So I am now presenting you with a second list of even more fascinating food facts. If you want to add some interesting facts of your own to the comments, please feel free. 10. Butter Tea    Fascinating Fact: In Tibet, a common drink is butter tea – it is made from yak butter, salt, and tea.    The average Tibetan can drink 50 – 60 cups of this tea in any one day! It is made by drying Chinese tea in the road for several days (to let it acquire a strong flavor). The tea is then boiled for up to half a day and churned in bamboo churns to which salt, a pinch of soda, and rancid butter have been added. When drinking the tea, you can blow the scum (from the butter) away from the edge of the cup and sip. Some Tibetans add “tsu” and flour to their tea (in much the same way as we add milk and sugar).

In the twentieth and continuing into the twenty-first century, many neopagans began reconstructing the old traditions and celebrating May Day
