Many are aware that I occasionally do nuisance beaver trapping for the state. While the animals have to be destroyed, we try to use as many of the body parts as possible. Recently, the market for castoreum has skyrocketted. Traditionally, the perfume industry has driven this industry, but reports now are that it is being used to enhance the flavor of vanilla and raspberry ice cream.

I have become a rather committed mint chocolate chip person.

I believe this information to be true, but thought this might be the best choice of forum.
