Bird’s Nest from Top Luxury Foods

This specialty, usually served in a soup, is one of the best known delicatessens of Chinese cuisine. The nests are made by the Cave Swift males in the period of mating, and they consist of rubbery saliva rich in magnesium and calcium. After being collected, the nests are cleaned and delivered to the restaurants where they are used mostly for the soup, a portion of which costs 100 dollars. Bird’s nest is also considered a good aphrodisiac.
