Was just eating some cottage pie and it kinda evoked the taste of a cast iron pan

Yeah; I rarely eat beef, but when I do, I get the overwhelming taste of iron every time.

Worth noting that there are a bunch of types of dietary iron; they don’t all taste the same. To me, beef tastes similar to human blood with an overlay of grass.

Yes. And if you don’t eat beef but want to know what that iron taste is like, get yourself an impossible burger or a beyond burger. They’re made with heme, which gives beef that iron taste.
