      Human blood is a valid substitute for eggs in baking.

          There’s no way. It doesn’t taste like eggs at all. Does it? I’ve never tasted raw egg before

            For it to be a substitute, it doesn’t have to taste the exact same. It just has to have similar properties.

        Is it, though? I get that they have a similar protein composition or whatever, but there’s no way the taste is anywhere near the same. Then again, I guess I’ve never eaten fully raw eggs before (not sure if a semi-runny sunny side up on toast counts, heh).

            You’ve never tasted your own blood from like bloody lips and stuff?

            I did in a shot. It doesn’t taste like egg.

        Human (and animal) blood and eggs can also both be used in place of Styrofoam to gelify fuel for molotovs.

          TIL. So many options to make a molotov nastier. Stinky rotten egg fires!

        I learned this from the reverse, as eggs are a valid substitute for human blood in sacrifices.

        Huh, so that’s why filloas de sangre are a thing. I always found it weird but it makes sense now. TIL.
