You have likely eaten a bug at some point in your life. And when someone says something “tastes like cardboard,” you likely understand exactly what they mean. 

However, a few unfortunate souls have had something unpleasant meet their taste buds. They’ve shared their experiences in the comments section of this Reddit question: “What’s something you’ve tasted that most humans have not?” 

This list features firsthand accounts of people ingesting elephant carcasses, ladybug secretions, possum meat, and rat droppings. Some are a bit nasty, so proceed with caution. 

But if you’re a fan of weird stories that can get graphic, enjoy scrolling through this list.

62 Things That Most People Don’t Get The Chance To Taste But Folks In This Thread Did I was injured in a rocket attack in Afghanistan. I remember lying in the dirt and my ear felt weird, like swimmer's ear. I have sensitive ears, so I stuck my finger in my ear to try to drain it, only to have my finger come away with a thick syrupy substance. It was dark, so I couldn't see what it was, and my nose was broken and bleeding. I decided, f**k it, I licked it. It tasted mildly sweet.

It was cerebrospinal fluid. From my brain.

    62 Things That Most People Don’t Get The Chance To Taste But Folks In This Thread Did A ladybug flew into my mouth when I was riding my bike as a kid. Ladybugs secrete a yellow bitter goop when they get eaten as a "f**k you, don't eat me" mechanism, so that happened. Had to run inside and rinse out my mouth, which didn't really help.

    Edit: Wow, there are a lot of ladybug tasters in here. My people ✊️.

    62 Things That Most People Don’t Get The Chance To Taste But Folks In This Thread Did Bronze Age cremated human bones.
    Had my coffee cup standing right next to the tub I was cleaning them after excavation. Scrubbed the sediment off of it with a toothbrush and it sputtered together with tiny fractions of the bones all around and also in that coffee.
    The last sip felt a little coarse and on the bottom of the cup were still white particles between the sand and coffee grounds.

    Are they saying they tasted an elephant as in ate it? I couldn't imagine willingly eating an elephant. That just feels wrong. Which is super hypocritical because I am a meat eater.

    I didn't notice, and few weeks later I forgot about it at all, put some nuts in the same pocket and started eating them, until one of them tasted really weird.

    62 Things That Most People Don’t Get The Chance To Taste But Folks In This Thread Did We grew up on a farm and my brother watched some survival TV show where they were hunting for their own food and cooking it after. He was able to catch a toad, created a fire and cooked and sliced it up afterwards. Me, as the little girl looking up to her older brother (me: 6, him: 8), of course had to taste it. I don’t think it’s really common….

    62 Things That Most People Don’t Get The Chance To Taste But Folks In This Thread Did Cougar and bear. Used to go hunting in Wyoming every year with my dad. The hunting guide did everything from Bears, cougars, elk, deer, bison, turkeys, prairie dogs, etc. He was one of those people who had an industrial meat grinder in the back, and his wife used most of their kills for meals in the house. He joked that he hadn’t bought beef in 20 years. Made the mistake of asking him what the weirdest meat was in his fridge. He Got the most wicked smile and came back with some homemade summer sausages. he gave me a slice and asked me if I could guess what it was. It was incredibly gamy, only thing that made it palatable was the spices he’d mixed with it. It had a very odd aftertaste that kind of reminded me of the flavor you get in your mouth after drinking diet cola. Never in 1 million years would’ve guessed it was cougar and he was dying of laughter at the look on my face when he told me. He also had some sausage made out of bear. That one was also gamy and had a very strange “butter” flavor to it, but it was not delicious like butter…
    Still, it was good to know he wasn’t putting the animals to waste.

    62 Things That Most People Don’t Get The Chance To Taste But Folks In This Thread Did Literal bull s**t, straight from a bull. It's not what you think. I mean, it's not what I would think, with that first sentence, but it's every bit true.

    I was riding in a pasture of heifers, looking for why they'd been freaking out, when I saw one in the middle stand up, suddenly half again the size of every other bovine in the area. Oh.

    One of the young bulls somehow got out of a nearby barn and paddock overnight. So I nudged my horse forward to see if I'd lead him out, or chase him out, or maybe I'd need another cowboy if he was feeling obstinant. He wasn't.

    He turned and ran, so it was the chase option, then. No big deal, we do that all the time. So I let my horse do work while I hang out on top and basically just minimize my awkward mass-offset. I was riding a trained horse, so it already knew exactly what to do.

    It's called "cutting" when you herd one animal away from the others. None of this aside from the chase is germaine to the story, but it's interesting.

    As we were following the bull, who was sprinting away, I watched a giant, healthy looking s**t erupt from this idiot's a**s just as he bucked and kicked both feet back in a young bull's expression of primal joy. He kicked directly through his own massive s**t, launching chunks of it directly into my face. It blasted my hat clean off.

    My mouth had been open. My eyes had been open. My shirt collar was open. Everything had s**t in it. Everything I had. I found s**t in my pants pockets. My horse was covered in it.

    That's one of the rare times I was unhorsed. Completely thrown. In my shock, I just lost focus and ended up on my back, retching up toward the sky. Pretty sure I swallowed some. I had to f*****g chew it just to spit it out.

    Had to walk back about 1/4 mile, too. The horse just kept after the bull. They were grazing near each other when I got back to paddock.

    Disturbingly sweet. I didn't expect that. Highly unpleasant.

    I've never before or since heard my Dad laugh like that. I thought he was going to die from it. It's the only time I ever saw the man cry.

    I used to have a roommate who would go into the backyard and pick ingredients for salad (we lived by the woods) and they were always very good. Dandelion, clover flowers, random green bits, spring onions, garlic greens…

    62 Things That Most People Don’t Get The Chance To Taste But Folks In This Thread Did I was about 1 week into a 2-month stint in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, when some of the soldiers we were with dragged half of an elk into camp. By the time I left the project, I'd eaten deer, boar, elk and poultry from the Zone.


    Several years on and I still have the normal amount of appendages. Don't think many people have eaten slightly-irradiated game.

    When I was in the Exclusion Zone, we saw quite a few dogs who looked very normal (some we weren’t allowed to pet due to radiation though 😢). We also fed bread and cookies to some of the most massive catfish I’ve ever seen in my life who were just chilling in the river right next to the CPP.

    Thanks. Part of me wants to know how one properly milks a squirrel but the other part doesn't want that in my search history because I'm concerned with what ads I might be bombarded with.

    Fry them up in peanut oil. They're quite good. Basically just taste like crunchy flaky peanuts. The trick is to take off the legs or you won't stop thinking about the fact that you're eating a bug.

    I tried turtle once NOT by choice. My ex-husbands uncle shot a turtle and cooked it. Among other meals he made soup. He said try this I asked is there turtle in it, he assured me there was not. After I ate it he started laughing & told me that it was turtle soup. I have a rule about food if you won't tell me what it is I wont eat it I should be able to make the desision about what I choose to eat. I should have know better they were the same people who told a story about a friend of theirs who claimed a food allergy and they believed the person simply didn't like thee particular food (I can't remember what it was) anyway they slipped it into whatever meal they made and he ate it and loved it. Luckly in that case their friend didn't have an actual allergy to it; (seriously you can kill a person by doing that, but they were idiots). Guess I was lucky it was "just" turtle & not rabbit. I tried rabbit once as a child my friends dad was an avid hunter; I knowingly ate it & had a reaction.
