Eating Inedible

We are adults so we can eat cocoons whenever we want.

I swallowed a coin. It is not accidental but I really put it into my mouth and sipped every irony taste of it. Metal is delicious; sometimes it could be a substitute to candies if you ran out of it.

The coin traveled down to my insides but got tucked within my esophagus, and that wasn’t a good feeling. I fought against my involuntary muscles to free it, but to no avail. Quickly, my brother handed me a banana, ate a slab of it but before taking it in, she slammed my back and I vomited it all, including the coin. Aaah, I’m amazed it worked!

My friend used to eat dog food, but he thought it was biscuits for humans. Nonetheless, he wouldn’t know the difference and it tastes alright. Another friend of mine loved herself so much, she couldn’t stop taking in what her body is supposedly shoving out. She bites her nails, early in morning, when conversing and while washing dishes. We all have our abnormalities.

One time, curiosity hit me and my friends. We were hanging out in a garden, two of us with Sprite and Pepsi cola in hand. This brilliant one blurted his idea of mixing two sodas with different plants around. And the rest of us are more brilliant in agreeing with it. We fetched one bowl and picked every representative flowers and leaves around the garden, ripped it to the smallest bits. We poured in the sodas and mixed it all, then you guess it! We took turns in drinking it, yum.

How about chewing straw, licking tissue paper, any other? Done that. What are the inedible things you’ve eaten/tasted?

I swallowed a straight pin when I was a baby (I do not remeber but the story goes). My mother was sewing and I crawled and put a pin in my mouth and swallowed it. My mother came to this conclusion when she was missing her needle. So, she panicked, took me to the Children’s Hospital and they gave me an x-ray and there it was. Luckily, my bowels safely pushed it out. Haha

When I was a kid I ate the leaves of my nan’s jade tree. Mmmm. astringent. Now my kids eat the leaves off our one, as well as the leaves of the aniseed myrtle tree we have in our backyard.

I occasionally get the urge to lick Dishwasher tablets! They just smell so good! However, the one time I indulged in this urge, I was hideously disappointed and my mouth tasted like soap

  What do you expect? haha!

  I don’t know, I think I expected some kind of explosion of lemons. In my defence though, that was a whole four years ago…

My grandguys and I lick the tip of each finger, stick an ant to each one, and slurp them off. Yum. Purists that we are, we have yet to dip them in chocolate.

What kind of a crazy blog have I blundered into here…?

I think I’ll tip-toe back out nice and quiet like…

I found this post really interesting while still being informative. It’s a take on everyday life that not many people care to discuss (or divulge) but are perfectly natural to do.

Reblogged this on Manjree's Blog.

hum, coins? I prefer sugar! I also like food too much to chew on anything else – perhaps I am a freak!!
btw, I have nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger Award.

I chewed plenty of pen caps to smithereens. I didn’t really eat them, but I sure chewed them to bits. But the other day, my son confessed to the different types of glue he has sampled over the years of being in school. When I told him about old fashioned paste, I could see the goal forming in his little head!

i’m pretty sure eating balloons has nothing to do with adult or not, but that’s fine!

Living in China now for 10 months with several more years on an assignment to go, the list of eaten inedibles grows. We have wondered how hungry someone must have been to have decided they would cook or eat some of these things in the first place. I am absolutely certain that it was originally hunger that drove them to trying the first steamed star fish or the silk worm larvea or the cooked scorpion, or the sea urchin. Yet they are considered standard fare today when hunger is not an issue and food is plentiful.

Paper. Almost any kind as long as there is no gloss to it. Newspaper is offensive but will do in a pinch.
And I am a paper artist.

I pity the poor young children of today. They have no giant jars of white paste to dip their fingers in and lick. Sometimes a whole dollop would be scrumptious. MMMmmmm.

  Oh you’re one of those kids. I wonder how paste tastes like?

  I will do my best to remember; it was 68 years ago. Well – - – it definately was not dry, quite moist if my memory is serving me well. It had just the right amount of tartness. And smooth – - – boy was it smooth. Never offended the tonsils. Seemed to settle the stomach. Not milky but seemed to have a certain amount of calcium; probably from the horse and cow hoofs it was made from. MMMMmmm good!!

As a kid, up until about 10 years old, Pencil erasers, right of the pencils like they were M&Ms

As a teen until about 22 year, Dog Biscuits.

30 -36 plastic. I worked in plastic injection molding and would actually munch on “sprues” like they were stale pretzels. Sprues are the bit that goes thru the mold holding the different “pieces” together before their trimmed and boxed.

Can’t say I have eating anything inedible for a very long time .. but as very young I eat tulips, but they are eatable. I swallow a fly by mistake a couple of years ago .. or it flew into my mouth while eating a sandwich, I would think that will count for it.

  I also ate a fly; I was cycling with my mouth open and a fly went straight to my guts!
