I don't eat for pleasure... I eat to fuel my body.
You don't refill your gas tank for "pleasure".... you fill it to keep your vehicle going. And like a fine Italian sports car, my body is a WELL-OILED machine. While you continue to eat biological garbage, keeping your body in the condition of a 1997 Camry with a leaky transmission; I am perfectly calculating the amino acids, metabolic building blocks, and FUEL my body needs.
How does it taste? I couldn't tell you... I haven't "tasted" my Fuel for years.

I know what that is, but at the same time
I was going to put this in the "what are you making for dinner" but I think it goes here:
I was making egg salad sandwiches tonight and went to grab my paprika. I didn't look at the label, I just grabbed the spice that was where I keep the paprika. It wasn't until I sprinkled and saw how much came out - and what color it was - that I realized I grabbed the wrong one. You see, paprika is a small sprinkle so it should have been a nice dusting. Instead I got a fair amount of brown stuff liberally sprinkled on the eggs.
Cinnamon flavored eggs do not taste good at all. The only good thing I can say is that I'm sick right now and can't taste for shit so when I tried it - because you never know - it just tasted like mushy sand.

Tarrare (c. 1772 – 1798), sometimes spelled Tarare, was a French showman and soldier, noted for his unusual eating habits. Able to eat vast amounts of meat, he was constantly hungry; his parents could not provide for him, and he was turned out of the family home as a teenager. He traveled France in the company of a band of thieves and prostitutes, before becoming the warm-up act to a travelling charlatan; he would swallow corks, stones, live animals and a whole basketful of apples.
He was hospitalised due to exhaustion and became the subject of a series of medical experiments to test his eating capacity, in which, among other things, he ate a meal intended for 15 people in a single sitting, ate live cats, snakes, lizards and puppies, and swallowed eels whole without chewing. Despite his unusual diet, he was of normal size and appearance, and showed no signs of mental illness other than what was described as an apathetic temperament.
General Alexandre de Beauharnais decided to put Tarrare's abilities to military use, and he was employed as a courier by the French army, with the intention that he would swallow documents, pass through enemy lines, and recover them from his stool once safely at his destination. Tarrare could not speak German, and on his first mission was captured by Prussian forces, severely beaten and underwent a mock execution before being returned to French lines.
Chastened by this experience, he agreed to submit to any procedure that would cure his appetite, and was treated with laudanum, tobacco pills, wine vinegar and soft-boiled eggs. The procedures failed, and doctors could not keep him on a controlled diet; he would sneak out of the hospital to scavenge for offal in gutters, rubbish heaps and outside butchers' shops, and attempted to drink the blood of other patients in the hospital and to eat the corpses in the hospital morgue. After being suspected of eating a toddler he was ejected from the hospital. He reappeared four years later in Versailles with a case of severe tuberculosis, and died shortly afterwards, following a lengthy bout of exudative diarrhea.
