SINGAPORE AP — That Chinese delicacy birds nest soup is becoming an endangered species priced beyond the reach of most of its admirers A small individual bowl now costs about $4 35 and restaurants require orders several days in advance Experts say the problem is a shortage of suitable nests from Thailand Indonesia and Malaysia The nests are built by tropical swifts in caves and under the roofs of buildings and the key ingredient is saliva the birds use to glue the fragile looking nests together and stick them to walls Collecting nests to make soup has been going on since the Ming dynasty which ruled China from the 14th to the 17th centuries Historical records show traders from China sought the nests in Borneo centuries ago in exchange for porcelain gold and cloth Some blame the current shortage on careless collectors who snatch too many nests containing eggs Others cite the increased use of insecticides which may be absorbed by the birds and adulterate their saliva C 03 Clip mis ACE Coupon FPC3 Bohsei 3000 hand held calculator wmemory Of with purchase of Canon tor your adding economical and printing and prtntlngdlaplay calculators You can count on them at tax time or any other time Limit D Printing Calculator one Bohsei calculator per coupon Cash Value 03 1 20 of 1C Good one week only at the bookstore Coot |
