    That’s the romanticized, traditional Indian cowshit mix trying to approximate it. (Not doing a disparaging stereotype here, that’s just literally how the article says they make it.)

    I’d be surprised if it actually contains the compound we’re talking about.

      i Kind of doubt it. in a video i saw if the process they were using hardfired bricks. i don’t believe any organic compounds would survive the heat.

      (dung might be a better term for what you were referring to. i seem to remember that because of the way they feed their cattle the dung has a very high fibre content which makes it a good source for building material. it’s nowhere as gross as the diarrhea like consistency we get from cows in Europe)
