Goat tongue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goat tongue is a method of torture involving soaking the feet in salt water and allowing a goat to lick the soles. It is very ticklish and is a form of tickle torture.

It has been claimed that a goat's tongue, being very rough, will gradually strip all the flesh from the feet, even down to the bone. One cannot be certain whether this is true, but it is undoubtedly true that Transylvanian prince Vlad Ţepeş (the historical Dracula) was fond of applying this torture to his Turkish prisoners as their feet were immobilized in the stocks, with a steady supply of salt water dripped onto the sufferer's feet from above. ^[1]
