Would you eat 'honey' if humans spat phlegm on pollen and then dehydrated it?

    personally yes but I feel like we’d probably be weird about people who want to eat it like we are with breast milk. like I’d imagine humans would reserve it for feeding infants like how birds do with their regurgitated food.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuchikamizake

    Kuchikamizake (口噛み酒; mouth-chewed sake) or kuchikami no sake (口噛みの酒) is a type of sake produced by a process involving human saliva as a fermentation starter.

      They do that in South America where tribes spit into a communal pot. I think they were chewing cassava or maize or something like that. There are enzymes (like amylase) in saliva that break down the starches into fermentable sugars.

      I think I’d pass, personally. I hear it’s quite sour and I hate sour beer.

        I think you’re referring to chicha. I have friend or, but didn’t like it. It made me think of buttermilk with alcohol.

    That’s a misleading description of what bees do.

    That being said, if we could actually make honey that way, id be making my own and be happy with it

    Would you eat cheese if it were made from human milk?

      breast milk flavored ice cream was a thing, and is still available.

      sadly human milk products are illegal for sale.

        I would say sadly. Alowing human milk products to be sold would be risking a lot of infectious diseases to be spread.

    Would it be “delicious?”

  • HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’ll be honest, it likely depends on the social connotations of doing so. It feels on the same level of would I drink human milk and could I tell which milk was made from a set of three friends.

    Don’t look up how traditional honey-mead are made…

  • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Depends on whether or not it tasted as good as honey. Even honey itself can taste wildly different, depending on what pollen was gathered by the bees to make it. Clover honey is the most common, but blackberry honey tastes even better IMO.

    If it was delicious and sanitary I don’t see why not

    It’s a hard no from me.

    Honestly being vegan I don’t understand how people aren’t bothered by cow’s breast milk but maybe that’s just me.

      How is it different from eating plant feet and genitalia?

    • Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I eat meat, lots of it. also because we eat to survive, not to appease our feelings.

        we eat to survive

        Oh you must live in the Arctic Circle or similar where there’s essentially no plants.

    I can’t stand honey. It smells like when people sneeze, so I have never wanted to even taste it. So I guess bee phlegm and human phlegm smell the same to me?

    source
    • AskewLord@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      you can smell sneezes? or taste them?

      wild.

      source
      • Grabthar@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        The smell comes from a person’s saliva which often gets spewed into the air after a sneeze. The droplets hang in the air a long time. Some peoples’ sneezes have a sickly sweet odour that smells the same as honey to me. Other sneezes don’t smell like much of anything to me though. I don’t know if I’m smelling an infection byproduct, a food, or maybe a lack of hydration causing their saliva to have a strong smell, but it always smells the same to me. As for taste? I think I’d rather not explore that. I imagine it might taste like it smells, so like honey.

    Well I already find honey disgusting so that’s a hard no for me.
