Why the fuck would you taste it?!

Fun archeology fact! Sometimes when you find bone fragments they look like rocks. When this happens there is one quick, easy, surefire way to make sure which they are. You gotta lick it. Bones are porous and will stick to your tongue whereas rocks will not. Any way, that’s how we sometimes know what bones taste like.

Probably bc of my fascination with toxicology, but whenever I read something about a thing that’s not normally licked tasting like almonds my first thought is always, without fail; cyanide.
