Oh for cryin' out loud. Give someone a soapbox and you'll never know
what they'll come up with.
I wouldn't use bloodmeal on root crops, so I don't think it would become

eat something that has been sitting in reconstituted blood.
Neither would I sit down to a bowl of toasted bloodmeal with juice and
toast.
