Enzymes from spit

When I was a kid in the "60s missionaries came to our church and told us about this practice. The natives would carve out a log and fill it with corn they'd chew up and spit. Don't know how long it took to work off the the missionaries said the natives had one H*** of a party. Don't think the missionaries actually said H*** though.

not to be rude, but why? are yo gonna give it a go,, or just intrigued?
it sounds odd enough that you can make a drink from baby food,, but Rad did ,,, so why not spit??? i cut cows up prety often and wander if you can ferment all of the grass thats in their stomach (its not gross,, it just looks like a bunch of wet grass),,,,, but even if you could,,, who the hell would drink it?

I think I'll stick to malted barley or enzymes. Don't fancy my own spit - let alone anyone else's.

Wait! Most/all of us have played tonsil hockey.
