I bought a slice of lovely handmade soap from the Fargate Market the other week. It is Lemon, Lime and Green Tea. It smells absolutely gorgous! Whilst sat in the bath earlier tonight, the smell became too much for me and I found myself licking the soap! I just had to see if it tasted as good as it smelled!! I was really suprised to find it tasted like green fruit gums!!! No soapy taste at all, just a lovely lime taste.

Now I'm not going to get into the habit of eating soap, it satisfied my curiosity and thats enough! And before you ask, no I am NOT pregnant!!

So, has anyone else here eaten/tasted anything strange that they know they shouldn't but just did it anyway?

You've only just discovered that eating stuff you shouldn't is fun?

Bow to the master!

When I was a toddler apparently I ate a sponge once.

lol, tut my mum should have been watching me

Or maybe she fed it me :suspect:

I like sweet things so thought that a saccharin tablet would taste really nice. I can assure everyone now reading this,
NO IT DOESN'T
The vilest most horrible taste that just wouldn't go away i must of single handledly almost drained Ladybower resovoir.
Now i know i can have fun encouraging other people to try it.
On a side note an old work colleague used to eat washing powder like sherbert, putting some in her hand and then licking her finger,dipping it in and sucking it clean, she liked the taste she claimed and no she wasn't pregnant either.

Sugar sandwiches and dog biscuits.
The rest are not worthy of a family forum.

Fairy liquid, lemon flavour

I was very young at the time, and it made my stomach ache :(

But at least I'd clean the loo at the same time as I wee

Yeah... but her husband gave me a good kickin'.












WHAT???? You were all thinking it!!!

years ago i dipped my fingers in a pot thinking it was treacle but it was lard ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww i was only 6 at the time so mistakes can be made;)

I used to rub soap on my flannel when I was about six, dip it in the sink and then suck it. Bleedin' vile now I think about it but yummy when I was six!

Worms, dog biscuits and a Scorpion.

Many years ago I developed a short lived taste for the worms in bottles of Tequila....

I suffered no ill effects except for an aversion to insectivorous birds and an occasional desire to hang upside down from the window-sill, spin a cocoon and hope to turn in to a butterfly....:)

Cat biscuit - not bad, had more than one, goes well with red wine :thumbsup:

Humble pie - too salty, not recommended :gag:

Victory - causes intense craving for more

A SLUG!!! By extreme accident.

I was drinking coffee outside with a friend one night, in the garden. I put my cup on the floor , then lifted it to drink it. Something went inside my mouth!! I looked and there was the mohter of all slugs stuck to the inside of the cup!

Granted, I didn't eat it but imagine the scene from The crying game, in the shower. That was me, I almost cried.

Apart from that I once had a "le western" burger in france, got a bit of an upset stomach so looked at the menu again...............oops should have guessed by the name, horse burger.

A bowl of dry cat food, after a while I was struggling so covered it in lashings of vodka martini........needless to say I was very very drunk!

I've tried dog food, after seeing a guy on TV eat it, I was very young at the time.

dariylea dunkers last night,

was in my brothers house, ate it while he was picking his mate up, told him when he came back!!

he goes "thats been there 6 months"

i'm like "its ok, my stomach is made out of iron"

boy i now wish i hadnt, my stomach is grumbling atme and it hurts GRRRRR

humans actualy test the foods first though anyways

Swallowed a pound coin once..when asked if i was any better..i said...'Still no change'

............Boom boom......Im here all week.!

As a toddler, I apparently enjoyed eating the newspaper - Dad would come home in the evening to find parts of his paper missing!

Possibly this anecdote has become slightly exaggerated in the telling over the years .....

Starsparkle :D

f f for one minute there i thought you were going to disclose the marz bar incident on kelvin, or was that maltezers.? (will pm you later)

Pigs trotters in a basque cider house.

****ing Antony Bourdain

The worst thing I can recall having in my mouth is Petrol. It takes FOREVER to get rid of the taste.

Nomme

When I was younger I washed my mouth out with soap and water to see what was so bad about it.

I also remember eating paste at school to weird out other kids... I think I was making a paper mache turtle.

Some other not so weird ones when I got dared at school:

- 2 litres of vanilla ice cream in 2 minutes

- 2 litres of rich chocolate ice cream in less than 10 minutes (urgh felt so bad)

- a bottle of hersheys chocolate syrup (it's harder than you think!!)

Needless to say I have a sweet tooth...

As a kid we used to nibble on privet leaves - I'm sure that they are poisoness.:gag:

Now this is REALLY gross......

Embalming fluid. When doing dissection at uni the forceps slipped, the piece of skin twanged and flicked the embalming stuff in my face. Probably some nice body juices in there too (I was going to insert a picture of a very sick smiley but can't work out how to do it).

I thought not throwing up was quite an achievement really.

I'm sure I don't know what you mean!!

You must be thinking of someone else!

Bonny slugs are a very good source of food, they are full of protein, and in some cultures it is not perculiar at all.

The only thing I can report is when I was a child I used to eat the Dog's Good Boy Chocolate drops. Probably why I have shiny hair. They are surprisingly pleasing, less sweet than human chocolate, but I don't have a sweet tooth anyhow. How many boys have you heard of walking to school, and popping into the greengrocers (yes was long time ago) and getting a carrot topped and tailed to munch on the way to school.. That was me.

I was told that you can eat Rose Petals... So when i was once making my Rose Perfume as you do at a young age... I thought i would give them ago...

Yellow was my Fav :? hmmm a strange one i know ;)

Used to make Mud pies too... ewwww! no never tasted them thank goodness ;)

sounds like when you first joined you opted for 'vb codes off' just go back to your options/edit options (bottom of the page) and turn them on.

I just cannot eat it - it makes me feel sick to taste it. If I can find even the tiniest trace of celery in a salad sandwich, it ruins it for me. Horrible stuff.

once swallowed a 50p piece .following day i toileted three ten pences and two 5 pences and 5 two pences....apparantly "change is from within!"

Yes... a whole host of samosas, small curries, dosas, and various other food bought from train platforms over the past couple of days during my 48 hour train journey from Gorakpur to Mumbai (there was no pantry car on this train for some reason, so we had to jump off the train when we could to buy food from stations - then jump back on with our food just as the train was pulling away! Quite an experience!)

Still, feeling OK though!

I heard of a lady that was cleaning her food cupboard out and saw what she thought wa a currant, she popped it into her mouth, she then felt it move inside her mouth and on taking it out found it to be a spider.


That was before the days of I'm a celebrity Get Me out of Here. YUK!!

I also tried snails, when i was drunk never again i was suck all the next day.

I can remember eating a nice juicy peach, and enjoing it very much, when an earwig crawled out. Well i think there was only one, at least it was still whole and not in half.
The peach travelled very fast towards the ceiling while i let out a blood curdling scream. I now cut peaches and any fruit in half for an inspection first.

well supposedly everyone eats 12 insects per year whilst sleeping!!

worst thing i hate every eaten. erm

a whisky chocolate when i was about 4. (a women was handing them out in a shop so i got one and ate it, i nearly puked for the rest of the day)

oh and ive eaten numerous maggots. there quiite tasty actually.

Nomme how did u get petrol in yur mouth?? u wernt tea leafing it from another car were u??

BBQ ribs from Dixie Chicken in Rotherham. :gag: :shakes:

The only thing I can report is when I was a child I used to eat the Dog's Good Boy Chocolate drops.

Me too and all because the kid loved any kind of chocolate!

As a grown up I've eaten fried ants and zebra/ostrich/crocodile etc at a place called, 'Meateater's Den' in Kenya.

I love celery with peanut butter on as do my kids and judging by some comments this must be weird - but then so am I!

I used to tear the corners of old books and eat them, the fustier the better.

And I have to say, although I restrain myself now, I still love the smell of fusty old books and could eat them in the blink of an eye!

I've tried various meats, now I think about it. A previous post reminded me of barbequeing wild boar, crocodile, ostrich and a couple of other odd ones, all available at S&M foods on the bottom of Chesterfield Road.
Oh, and I have pickled baby octopus once. Kinda nice, kinda chewy, decided 3 were enough and never had them since.
Tesco do tinned, smoked oyster. So one day I thought I'd give them a whirl *vomit* never again but the cats adored them!

And finally, gruesome story, I once lived on a road where my neighbour was a little girl called Louise O'Brien and she decided that dog poo which had been in the sun so long it had gone white was a good thing to eat. So she ate some and tried to convince me I should. Thankfully, even aged 5 I was a good enough judge to realise that there was no way it was going anywhere near me. Vile child Louise!

MacDonalds. What they serve shouldn't be classed as "food" in law. Some of the previous grotesque and revolting examples are preferable to the appalling fare served in their horrible "restaurants". I have only ever tasted their wares on one occasion. I foolishly ate something called a "Big Tasty". Far from being a "Happy Meal", the experience left me distressed and bilious. Are we actually meant to eat the food? Is this where I went wrong? Perhaps things like "Big Macs" and "Bacon, Double Cheese Burgers" are designed as ornaments, rather like the waxed fruit popular in the working class "front rooms" of the 1930s. I do not know.

When I went to University I'd never actually been in a Chinese Restaurant - small town Nottinghamshire in the 1970s considered such things to be the height of culture, after all.:)

Anyway....I went to a Chinese restaurant with my girlfriend (now Mrs P.) and some of her housemates, and amongst other things had spare ribs. We'd also ordered lemon tea....

After the ribs several small porcelain bowls appeared at the table, each with a slice of lemon floating in it.

It was only after I and one of my wife's housemates had started drinking this 'lemon tea' that it was pointed out that we were imbibing the finger bowls.

Nice one Joe. I have just come back from Tenerife, and in one of the Chinese we went into the waitress brought out the finger bowl with four small straws in it, and a grin as wide as the Moor :D

One thing we did try was squid cooked in it's own ink......not a good choice. :gag:

I used to do it too. Sucking the flannel was always nice when I was a chabby.

The more mature thing to do now is wet it, wring it out and lay it on your face. Especially nice if the water is piping hot.

i vaguely remembered my gran saying bi carb fizzed like lemonade so one day whilst cleaning the under the sink cupboard for me mam , i found a square block and thought yummeeee bi carb , i bet it taste like lemonade, so i took a huge bite and waited for the fizz to discover it was infact a lavender bath cube!!!! yak!!!!!!!!!

Any kind of liver, unless it is cooked into something!

Have eaten all sorts of things, biut liver, even the smell, YUK!!!!

Weird.....I remember soaking the flannel in the bath and sucking it too!

And when I'm really stressed today I also like to wring it out and lay it across my face! Must be some in-built response of human beings when confronted with bathtime!

And I seem to remember occasionally having a slurp of my bathwater at the start of a bath...before the soap and dirt ended up in there!

Joe

JoeP, I always thought that you were a very erudite, cultured and civilised man. After reading your posting in which you shamelessly detail your perverse bathtime proclivities, I will have to reassess my views. Deviance! Thy name is JoeP!

Aw, Timo, you say the nicest things!

:D

Don't forget that I come from a household in which such delicacies as Cow Heel and Shin and Pigs Trotters were viewed as suitable (and absolutely delicious) fare for Sunday breakfasts.

The only thing to watch with Pig's Trotters is that you don't eat any bristles that are still embedded in the skin...;)

I have to say that I was wondering where Timo got that idea from myself. ;)

But if I ever need a PR person I'll ask Timo...and ust ask him to forget about the bathwater episodes...:)

Joe

GOOD GRIEF, I thought I was the only nutter who sucked soap from my flannel, you lot are bonkers. There's just no excuse for it :D
I was reluctant to even type it in where as you lot just freely admit - loony toonz!

Ah well, I'm in good company then.Maybe we should have a secret flannel suckers society.
PML.

*rolls on the floor wetting herself with laughter at the number of people who are secret flannel suckers*

Cannot believe so many suck flannels.

I thought I was close to mad but my therapist tells me not!

Ear wax made me shudder! Now that is awful!!!

black pudding its s****y

When my daughter was a toddler, she once ate the entire contents of an ashtray and a whole block of lard!!

My son is now a flannel/sponge sucker too!! Seems the world is over run by this secret society!!
