Okay seriously this thread, some of you. It's like you've never cleaned an animal's cage or tended to a garden your entire life. A little pee on yourself? BIG DEAL you're in a shower. Running water????
Pig's blood is pretty nice. I've yet to have eaten insects on a regular basis, although I'd like to try out beetle grub. I ate a dried cicada once when I was in China; tasted very nutty. Haven't eaten snails, but have eaten periwinkles. It helps a ton I grew up on Chinese cuisine. It's nigh impossible for me to be disgusted by anything short of rotten food.

Snails, insects, animal blood, protein from poo, etc (though I've already eaten snails and animal blood myself, it's very good).
