Valentine’s Meat Juice is like my pet turn of the century medicine, not just because it’s a weird Virginia classic. The best part is that as ridiculous as it sounds, I’m sure it genuinely saved lives in a time before intravenous fluids or TPN. In a time where ‘invalid food’ was widely bread water, I’m sure a nutrient dense distillation of beef, blood and egg whites made the difference between life and death in some cases.
