Thailand. Many virtues are attributed to the horn, and even the hide, however thick and tough it is, is regarded as a delicacy and fortifies weak people. The hide is grilled, then scraped together and cut into pieces, and then it is boiled with spices for a long time to make it into a gelatinous and transparent substance. I have eaten it many times with pleasure and the same procedure could probably be used to eat the hides of other animals.
