There’s a whole raft of things that are technically edible, that I want nowhere near my mouth. Add this to the list.
I would not want the honey from Resident Evil anywhere near my breakfast.
This one probably needs a NSFW filter, for “I was eating” reasons 😅

Bugonia?
As vulture bee honey is derived from animal flesh, it is not suitable for vegetarians.
Phew that’s good to know! Nearly gourged myself on some corpse honey
Honey produced by vulture bees is a pleasant tasting and sweet smelling honey-like liquid.
It’s strange that it doesn’t taste like rotten flesh.
I read it tastes a bit more like cheese/butter.
Thank you, this comment made me feel unwell
They need to make a Dominion 2 just for this kinda shit

Using their extra-toothed mandible, they will slice and chew the flesh off, coating the meat in their acid-rich saliva before consumption. The bee will transport the chewed carrion back to the colony where it’s regurgitated into wax pots, different from the honey pots.
Here, the meat will be mixed with honey and left to mature over a period of 14 days. During this curing time, it will become a paste-like substance that is rich in free amino acids and sugars. This paste is fed to their young, who need it to grow.
So basically a potted meat but with sugar instead of fat. Apparently they also keep normal honey that’s separate from the meat honey. Bees are so fucking cool.
I think I saw that in Dead Space
Was about to say, this is some resident evil type shit
was just about to say this looks like doom demon hives
They are also stingless, how interesting.
Corpses don’t usually fight back…
a smoky, salty, and savory taste rather than being sweet https://beezzit.com/blogs/news/meat-honey-the-strange-secret-of-vulture-bees
Nature does depravity.
Humans: “Is it edible?”People learning about mushrooms: This one tastes like beef, this one killed bob instantly, and that one made me see god for 2 weeks
Have you ever thought about blue cheese？
“Let’s try drinking the milk from an animal”
“Oh, it’s kinda gross and solid ish now. Still tastes good though”
“Oh wait, it’s gone really mouldy. Let’s slap it on some chicken wings”
Animal cheese connoisseurs be like: Our food culture grew by one diarrhoea at a time.
While I would agree on the surface, it’s not really depravity. We’ve got to do away with rotting meat somehow. Hence why vultures are so important.
Still upvoted though.
I just wanted to use that word… The whole sentence is just a word game given that personifying environment into nature is common, but wrong.
Like is that at all surprising? Starvation was a leading cause of death through much of history and pre-history, of course folks start to eat and drink dubious things. Ever heard of folks sucking the eyes out of fish to get fresh water? That’s on the milder end of what our instincts will force us to do under the right circumstances.
That hive looks like I’m not high enough level to fight whatever is in there.
Rotted bee vomit. No thx
Regurgitated rotten flesh bee vomit* :)
Correct. Bee vomit doesn’t rot.
