According to the doctrine of transubstantiation, the Eucharistic elements are converted to the literal blood and body of the Lord while retaining all appearances -- smell, taste, what it looks like -- of the original wine and biscuit. A tasteless Host, for instance, would still be tasteless after transubstantiation; a nasty-tasting one, still nasty-tasting.
Normally the wafers are pretty bland, so if there was a distinctive taste to them, you might want to speak to your priest about it. Might be something wrong with the way the elements are being stored.

First of all what you are referring to is based on symbolism and not cannabalism. Jesus doesn't actually expect people to eat his flesh and drink his blood - it was meant to be treated as symbolic remembrance of what He did on the cross for Humanity. When you eat of this bread and drink of this wine, do in the remembrance of Jesus until He comes back to get the rest of the believers in the second coming of Christ. Bread represents the Body of Christ and that took place when he received all the beatings, spittings, whippings, and terrible flogging on his body that became broken for all our ailments and diseases. Wine represents the blood that flowed down from his face and body to the ground. The blood came from all the lashes that he received and from the crown of throwns from his body. That blood has the power to heal everything from sin, diseases, sickness, and whatever offenses we receive from others. It covers anything that can and could hurt our soul/spirit/body. And in reference to your second question - Jesus being human functioned like a human - he had to use the restroom, he ate and drank. He had to bathe and wear clean clothes. Whatever you do on a regular basis to be a human and operate correctly - he went through the same experience.

The bread only 'becomes' Jesus' body symbolically. If you got a bad batch then it may taste awful. Perhaps the priest didn't wash his hands before the service.

The Eucharist is the most amazing gift God could have given us! To be able to receive Jesus into our bodies is awesome. I pray that I will always be worthy of Christ and that He will help me to shine His light for others to see. I pray that He will give me the strength that I need to live each day for Him.
I love God!

Um the bread is not really his body...i think you had too much of "jesus' blood" if you catch my drift.

Turn the other cheek my friend. Leave It God, God is the great Equalizer, he will take all that's wrong with the world off your shoulders, if you just release your burden to him.

Do you frequently eat poop? Because if you do, that might explain the state of your head.

It is not Jesus body, that is a man made idea from the Catholic church.

It's symbolic and spiritual, and you have desecrated it. You didn't hurt Jesus and you didn't hurt his followers, so who ultimately suffered?
