Someone actually at a classic Mini. I wouldn't advise that either. The point is that if you have the choice to eat food with or without such contamination you'd always choose the uncontaminated food because you can reason out for yourself that it is probably unhealthy. If you want to run the experiment feel free, being disgusted by it has nothing to do with it, this is about food safety, not about taste.
Historically yes. But plenty of things that are perfectly safe to consume taste terrible and plenty of stuff that will kill you won't even register. So this is not a reliable indicator.
