killamch89 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 If it came down to a really desperate situation, Chewing grass is going to be a far more tolerable experience than tasting mud. What are your thoughts about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 As a kid, I actually did both. The grass tastes better. It almost tastes like bamboo leaves. I know that, because every time I'm at the zoo, I chew on bamboo leaves. They have bamboo growing all over the entire zoo, so I always pick a few leaves to chew on while I'm there. Once those in my mouth are chewed up, I pick a few more. It's a hell of a lot better than gum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality vs Adventure Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Sometimes I wish I could eat hay because it smells so fresh and delicious with the aroma of sunshine and Earth. Hay is just dried grass. But it really has no taste to it. I'll pass on the mud. lol You'll get a mouth of worm eggs and live with them for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, in Japan they have some kind of snack made with bamboo leaves - I just don't remember. 5 hours ago, Reality vs Adventure said: Sometimes I wish I could eat hay because it smells so fresh and delicious with the aroma of sunshine and Earth. Hay is just dried grass.

Except for when you have allergies. Then you're going to give yourself away easily. Hayfever sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZandraJoi Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I've had both myself as a kid. We'd nibble on grass & make mud pies. To answer this question, I will say chew grass now. It is easier & more palatable than eating mud. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayfever sucks. It's odd - I had lots of allergies as a kid but hay was one of the few things that never triggered it. 12 hours ago, ZandraJoi said: I've had both myself as a kid.
