    Human blood is a valid substitute for eggs in baking.

      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!

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

      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

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

      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).

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