I hear the Maltese stamps are tasty. Belgian ones are quite decadent. Mexican stamps have a bit of a kick, and after some Chinese stamps, you're hungry again about an hour later.

Many of you know that I adorn old world wide unused stamps on the envelopes I send to my buyers. I can assure you that the old gum on some of those stamps tastes absolutely horrible. It is worse than five day old warm beer (I went to college; no need to say anything else about that). It's a wonder that my tongue hasn't fallen out of my mouth in protest.
I'm not sure how good used stamps will taste. I guess it will depend on the type of ink used on the cancel. Does the black taste like licorice? What about the blue and red canceling inks?

Michael: I have tasted many different kinds of stamps. I would say that they taste most like Chicken. Just various kinds of chicken like fried & Bar-B-Que etc.
Old stamps hinges all taste different. Their taste depends on what the original licker of the hinge had to eat, & whether he had bad breath, or not.

I also "decorate" covers and have noticed that the gummed stamps from the 70's have more of a "full body" than those from the 90's.
On a different (but strangely related) topic, I discovered that if you open up an old collection of PEZ dispensers and PEZ candy from the 90's or earlier, the PEZ candy tastes like soap. The bubble-gum from a 70's pack of baseball trading cards tastes like candle wax at best.
So maybe 40-year-old stamp gum holds up not so bad after all!

The stamps I lick from the 1920s taste like 100 year old dead chicken.

drmicro68: Please keep in mind ,that the person who started this thread, is a very odd person! I know him quite well & I am used to seeing him do odd things. One example: He will take a gummed stamp, and add gum to the front of the stamp,so he can paste the stamp on an envleope with the back of the stamp facing the front. He does that ,as a favor to friends, so that they will each receive an inverted stamp for their collection.

Anyone marinade their stamps overnight before eating them? The watermark fluid soak takes away the lousy gum flavor. I haven't marinaded stamps in lighter fluid, so I can't tell you how that goes. 'm sure someone will tell us how they got a bang out of that.

4th of July today; we're going to BBQ some nice souvenir sheets with a side of tete-beche pairs. Mmmmm! Washed down with a nice glass of Clarity watermark fluid too. (of course, Uncle Ed will be swigging Rosinol; there's one in every family!)

Yes, I believe that they did consider that. Didn't Switzerland isssue a stamp that smelled like roses or something?

Several countries have issued scented stamps. Switzerland has done flowers and chocolate (it was difficult not to eat that one!). Korea also does flower scents.
For health reasons, just remember that if you eat a reprint stamp, you will get heartburn. If you eat a counterfeit stamp, you will get the runs.

Ever see a stamp, that you like & admire so much, that you develop an urge to eat it? Or perhaps just a curiousity about what it would taste like? Maybe you feel that you overpaid ,or were cheated on a stamp, & this make you so angry that you crumple it up & swallow it?
Just wondering? Bon Appetit!
