What does blood taste like?
June 17, 2009 | 3 Comments
Being a vampirologist I get asked a lot of very strange questions, like “What does human blood tastes like?” Why some people would think I would know the answer to that question is something I don’t think about too much, but in truth, I do. I have read in numerous sources that blood has a coppery taste to it. Is that true? Well, as a person who suffers greatly from seasonal allergies I am prone to fairly severe nosebleeds. While sitting with my head tilted back so that the blood can run down my throat and into my stomach I can say that yes, it does leave a kind of coppery taste in my mouth. Want to experience it yourself without the drama of a nose bleed. Get yourself an old penny, clean it and then place it in your mouth and suck on it like it was a hard candy.

People really ask that question? What, did they not have a childhood filled with scrapes and cuts from clumsy accidents while playing,and didn’t they inadvertently taste their own blood on a few of those occasions? Did they never get a paper cut and automatically stick the injured finger in their mouth where of course it shouldn’t be? Anyone who has had a nosebleed has had blood drip inside at least a little. These are the kind of people that never chewed on a pencil or ate glue as a toddler either. Must be strange to have grown up in such a sanitized way.
Larry, I happen to agree with you. I would bet that there has not been a single person who has not gotten a cut on their finger and immediately stuck it in their mouth. Because that is such a natural thing to do and the very idea of drinking blood for fun or out of necessity is a very unnatural thing to consider let alone do I suppose that folks do not connect the two events.
I think I have read somewhere that blood tastes diferent if your drinking it from another person. I would not reccoment this experament so you can have the knowledge of the answer.
