What Does Gunpowder Taste Like?
I was reading a Wikipedia article on horse meat and came across the following passage: "The cavalry used breastplates as cooking pans and gunpowder as seasoning, thereby founding a unique culinary tradition." Could anyone provide insight into what gunpowder actually tastes like, and how it might have been used in this context?

Many years ago we used gunpowder to treat dogs with distemper. I was curious, , and did not like giving an unknown quantity to my animals, so I sampled it (gingerly) myself. I discovered gunpowder to taste sharp and peppery, with a definite metallic flavor.
Well, personally I've never tried it and can't say that I would either. To me I would think it was toxic and it very well may be. In those days, they wouldn't have known this.
