Curing the Common Cold?

Is there any way to breed a rhinovirus in bulk, to the extent of creating a kilo or so of mass?

Are there any ideal salts or other treatments to cure the mass? Should it be smoked? Brined? With or without beer?

I presume that curing will destroy any dangers posed by the virus. Is this correct?

Any thoughts on what it will taste like?

Reported for forum change.

It’s a cooking question!

You want to EAT a protein shell stuffed with viral RNA???

That’s a really long walk for a pun.

My apologies.

OK, then. A virus is a strand of RNA surrounded by a protein shell. No cell structure. A large mass of them would be a very fine powder.

Therefore, it would taste like chicken bullion.

So I could make some cold ramen?

Damn, it’s true. EVERYTHING tastes like chicken!

I suppose that if we can have a thread on pan-fried semen
