Human blood is a valid substitute for eggs in baking.

[โ€“] yngmnwntr@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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!

What about soap flakes?

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

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

[โ€“] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

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

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

[โ€“] bassomitron@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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).

But you have eaten raw human bloodโ€ฝ

[โ€“] bassomitron@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] NichtElias@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

Oh, yes, I guess I didn't think of that

[โ€“] chobeat@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

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