What about what you haven’t yet tried. If not because you haven’t happened upon it nor yearned for it.

That’s an interesting one, I’ve been known to eat quite a few things that most people don’t normally classify as “food”.
I’ll think it over and get back to you. I’ve never eaten “long pig”.

Considering all the mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, insects, spiders, molluscs, crustaceans, plants, fungi, bacteria and minerals in this world, I haven’t really eaten more than a tiny fraction of each.
I’ve never eaten any native australian mammal, bird, reptile, insect or spider.
I’ve never eaten any bison or yak, camelid, dog or cat, horse or rabbit, rodent or pigeon, carp or tilapia, abalone or turtle.
I’ve never eaten any “game bird” – pheasant, partridge, grouse, or goose.
I’ve never eaten any rare cheese, fish or wine, only the most common varieties.
I’ve never had halal food.
The only insect I’ve ever deliberately eaten is the mealworm – I didn’t like it.
I avoid eating bacteria wherever possible.
It’s interesting that the more I think, the more foods I can remember that I have eaten. Foods like oleander, basalt, lead, styrofoam, polyethylene, oxalis, kimchi, magnesium sulfate, prickly pair, etc. I once ate most of a bedspread. Never been brave enough to eat glass.

You have eaten lead, the metal? What form was it in, and WTF did you eat it???

Ear wax is not tasty at all. Unlike boogers.

Probably a function of everyone over a certain age eating lead due to leaded fuel.

Oh yes, many times. Car wheels used to have clip-on lead balance weights, and used to often lose these into the gutter. I would pick these up and chew on them whenever I felt hungry. It’s really chewy, and sweet-tasting, think of it as a type of chewing gum that doesn’t give you a sore throat.
In later years I think they used a harder lead alloy that wasn’t as satisfying.
Not nearly as dangerous as some of the things I used to eat, such as the old style pen caps (before they put the hole in the end) that could easily get stuck in the throat, or glow-in-the-dark fungus.

Lowest published oral LD50 dose for Pb for me would correspond to me eating 45g. I definitely never ate anywhere near that amount, though I did eat it in multiple small doses, which is more dangerous than a single lump.
Huh! I used to eat Pb too (as a kid). Lead flashing left over from dad putting the roof on the house. I can confirm Pb metal has a mildly sweet metallic flavour, but has a light “tingle” to the sweetness – maybe an electrolytic effect. The mouth-feel is quite amazing, with Pb metal being chewy, without being sticky. Pb is also quite smooth in the mouth and cool on the tongue.
I once and keep in mind this was a long time ago chewed on those little red plastic caps for toy guns and its blewed up in my mouth

I’ve never been game to try eating mercury or arsenic. Anyone?
Could it be that ingesting metallic mercury is harmless? Certainly many compounds of mercury are deadly, but that’s not the same as liquid metal. The following might be considered guides:
1) Mercury miners used to have fun walking over the tops of vats full of liquid mercury.
2) In an autobiography, a boy used to feed a mercury drop to his chickens, the mercury passed straight through and caused no obvious ill effects.
3) In a study where adult rats were fed mercury chloride as part of their diet, they excreted 99% of the ingested mercury.
Could the ingested Mercury end up in chicken eggs?
Speaking of chickens mine have lifted their game and we are getting 3 eggs a day from 5 chickens which is good

No. If you don’t mind being bald, having pink and sloughy skin, go nuts…

You sound like you need a 457 visa chicken, those australian ones seem unproductive.

There was a bloke who went by the name of Paul Bragg. He wrote a book called the miracle of fasting. He reckoned that one day after a long fast that he actually defecated pure murcury.
er, mercury.

You actually read that rubbish? Although he does say ‘don’t eat mercury’, including Calomel Hg2Cl2. Calomel can react with ammonia to produce mercury.
From wiki. “Calomel was taken internally and used as a laxative and disinfectant, as well as in the treatment of syphilis, until the early 20th century.”

Yes that is what he was talking about. Calomel. Yes I read the book. A very long time ago.
Fasting though, aside from his zealotry, is of use.
One of the greatest annoyances in my life is how diet foods are so much more expensive than obesity foods. I mean, good quality sawdust ought to be cheaper than wheat. Food additive clay and Styrofoam ditto.

You are perhaps correct. ;) Maybe not as well.
Fasting has no food miles or energy cost.

I’m home grown, growing my own.. Yes but how do you know what you are eating unless you clean it scrupulously and examine it minutely?
