don't try this at home. or at work. the taste is absolutely totally humongously terrible!

why?? I. don't. know.

I etch little sausages and they're fine. every other food item I've etched I've been able to eat with at most tasting only a slight bit of a burn flavor.

but this stuff I swear turned into something else. how to know which sausages work? have any ideas? I'll be much more wary tasting these things going forward.
