Considering how it is normally made, not something that a vegetarian would eat ususally, unless possibly with the second approach that I list below from a website:
The nests in making bird's nest soups are exclusively those of swiflets, the birds from the family of common swallow!. These highly prized nests are built and clung to the ceiling of the caves as high as 70m by the birds mostly of seaweed that is mixed by their own saliva, making the process of harvesting an ordeal and expensive!. Swiflets nests are mostly found on cliffs in areas along the Southern Chinese coast and South East Asia !.
Rich in protein, calcium, iron and other nutrients, bird's nest is good for all, young and old, men and women, the sick and mother-to-be!. T he Chinese have been relishing bird's nest as medicinal gourmet food for centuries and believe it replenishes and nourishes the internal organs, speed up recovery from illness, and boosts overall well being!. Of all, the most widely known benefit of consuming bird's nest is its ability to rejuvenate, restore youthfulness and ensure glowing and wrinkle-free complexion, the one reason sufficient to explain why it is such a hot commodity and luxury to the Chinese women!.
In most occasions, if not all, bird's nests are either served in soup with chicken, ham or quail eggs and seasoned with salt; or as dessert where they are double-boiled with water and rock sugar!. The texture of cooked bird's nests is like that of strings of agar-agar or jelly!. Alternatively, one can easily buy ready made "Bird's Nest with Rock sugar" in bottles in Chinese specialty stores and some supermarkets with Asian sections!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
