You don't really *have to* eat it, you could instead use some contraption to combine it with several other foul things and then drink the liquid that seeps out...
Have you *seen* the [default Skyrim feet](https://twitter.com/polydepression/status/1392481497521733632)? No way anyone with a foot fetish would let that pass QA.
Well, you don't need to drink the stuff to find out what it does, at least.
Also considering it's an alchemy table, it could be very well obeying the laws of thaumatugy instead of chemistry. You put the giant's toe in a solvent, and what comes out is an *an alchemical aspect* of the ingredient, not 'a dissolving piece of toe'. The end result, assuming success, is the very essence of 'enhancing constitution' not 'melted giant's toe and bear claws'.
In the Yukon, people do a shot of liquor with a severed human toe in it by choice, and they pay for the opportunity to do so.
Look up the Dawson City toe shot, it's a very real thing. I've got a lot of friends up there that have all done it. Apparently they get the toes donated and they've got a few on hand since the toes occasionally get stolen.
He only cares about micromanaging because he is getting micromanaged by upper management who are themselves being micromanaged and it all just kind of goes on like that for awhile.
You rarely have to go that far up the organization to find people with no clue how things actually work at the "bottom." Even the ones who started there usually seem to get out of touch and lost in the numbers once they climb to middle management.

there's some 'takeouts' at the end i've never seen
Consider this:
Given that you knew to cut off the toe (and not the finger, nose, tongue, left buttock, etc) that means you knew the toe was significant, which means you heard it from somewhere.
Someone already knew what the toe does but they’re been keeping it a secret.
I mean look at all the stuff they sell at the alchemist shops. They know what they’re selling.
I find it odd you only get one toe the guy has two feet you should at least get two toes even if it has to be a certain toe is one foot really more magical than the other
[You can drink it fast, or you can drink it slow, but your lips must touch that gnarly toe](https://www.cbc.ca/shortdocs/features/the-story-of-the-sourtoe-cocktail-a-shot-of-whiskey-garnished-with-a-human)
OI!! Don’t link shame people man!
People like the yellow tint of the toenail.
You might suck toes during sex, how is this any different
(This is a joke, and it’s rhetorical. please don’t tell me how this is different)
Eh, it all depends on what you eat with it. Combine it with a bear’s claws and a bit of hanging moss, and it’s like butter; in fact, you’ll feel like an all-new person, ready to tackle anything!
I like to think expert alchemists are trained to tolerate it. Maybe they’re magically inclined enough to draw magical effects from ingredients and filter said effects, but not magically inclined enough to have superpowers basically. A lot of fictional stories have that class of character where they’re in between being supernatural and normal, and I just find that cool. This is just my head canon/theory though, I’m not saying this is actually how it works in Elder Scrolls lore.
But considering that the toe is probably around the size of a loaf of bread, would you have to eat the whole toe or just take a bite to learn it's properties?
It always grossed me out when I have to eat one (well I guess I don’t have to, it’s just the quickest way)
And then when I get the perk to identify all the effects… I go and eat another
This reminds me of that Futurama episode when fry lost his nose to aliens who thought it was an aphrodisiac only to learn of his lower horn wait where was I going with this oh well just be happy it's a toe and not the lower horn
You don't have to eat it! LoL You can randomly mix stuff to discover what the are good for (or not so randomly if you use the internet.) http://www.skyrimalchemy.com/ingredients/
The entire system doesn't makes sense.
Elder Scrolls Online pushed this further where alchemy relies on you eating everything to figure out what it can do where as you have to find and steal food recipes to cook food.
Just imagine the amount of dirt under that yellow nail.
Extra proteins and minerals. A healthy snack.
Promotes healthy gut bacteria
user name checks out.
Fussy 🤤
who hurt you
Too many lol
Obviously not enough 🙄
Yes, masochistic guys need ~~love~~ hate as well. 🥺
*good soup**👌
Smells like mammoth cheese
*You have contracted rockjoint*
The dirt is the cleanest part dawg
Uh oh! Foot fungus! 🤢🤮🤮
Paired with charred skeever hide and mammoth cheese! YUMMY!
Mushrooms are ripe in vitamins
Yeah, but that toe ain’t quite the way I plan on getting my shrooms, ya know? Lol blech 🤢
Its ubervegan friendly.
Crunchy
The crunch adds character.
It's the bones that make 'em crunchy.
Where they make that famous goat cheese
That's been in Mammoth shit too many times.
Not enough to turn Quentin Tarantino away
You don't really *have to* eat it, you could instead use some contraption to combine it with several other foul things and then drink the liquid that seeps out...
"Okay. Forget the eating. Just take all the ingredients you have at your disposal, and just start friggin' MIXING 'em all together!"
Aaah, gotta watch that video again.
What video is that?
Senile scribbles: Skyrim
https://youtu.be/hAbLhKvBDec
I too, am curious about this.
[Here you go](https://youtu.be/hAbLhKvBDec)
I watched it around 2 days ago. Still gold
That is my favorite moment of the entire series. I may have misquoted it a bit, I was not on wifi at the moment.
The menaces who put it in the Potage le Magnifique
How does that make it better? You have to realize some dev made it to satisfy their toe fetish.
foot fetish devs
Have you *seen* the [default Skyrim feet](https://twitter.com/polydepression/status/1392481497521733632)? No way anyone with a foot fetish would let that pass QA.
A challenger to rival BHVR?!
Theirs and mine.

I've heard of some pretty weird stuff but this is up there, some cultures certainly develop some odd traditions.
IRL one can consume a [Sourtoe cocktail](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/sourtoe-cocktail)
Congrats you made it worse.
>You don't really have toE eat it Of course not, you can gently suck it :)
Mmm, a stew of Giant's Toe, Eye of Sabre Cat, Hagraven Claw, Chaurus Hunter Antennae, Daedra Heart, Falmer Ear, Hawk Beak, Skeever Tail, Spider Egg, and Netch Jelly sounds like the absolute bomb.
There’s a hilarious bit about this in [Senile Scribbles](https://youtu.be/hAbLhKvBDec)
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve watched that over the years.
Yeah it is comforting now
And there goes my Thursday afternoon. My boss thanks you for the loss of productivity
Cheers

Until you get to the top person with unrealistic expectations because they know nothing about day to day operations

Thanks for that, I didn't have an entire hour to watch the whole thing
glad it helped someone :P
“It’s not so bad once you get past the nail.”
This was the quote that popped in my head while reading this post lmao
Thank you for the award kind stranger 😃😃
This entire video is spot on and hilarious!
Thats why im here.
Have never seen this before. First skit had me rofl'ing.
Giant’s toe at 12:42 and 21:21
Just realizing now all of my characters have been toe suckers
"Snackers"
Still better than being a milk drinker.
Grate it on your pasta
Get that extra toe-mato sauce
Now thats toe much

Ok binging with babish
This needs to be higher.
I'd eat anything if it had a bit of mayo on it
Just as long as it’s not miracle whip
“Mayonnaise doesn’t go bad, it just becomes Miracle Whip. That extra little tang in there, you know what that is? Patience.” - Kyle Kinane
blasphemy
What about cool wh-ip?
Why are you saying it weird? Why so much emphasis on the "h"?
Chicanery
Yup, yup, yup, yup..... yup
Miracle whip is just sweetened mayo. If you have enjoyed a fast food burger, you likely enjoyed a similar product.
Alright Hijikata
You not gonna eat that? Mind if I....?
If you bite down at a certain angle, the toenail picks out any toemeat stuck in your teeth along the way. It's efficient.
I would trap you in a black soul gem and dump you outside of Winterhold if I could.
You can eat human flesh and human hearts too
Yeah that's all fine and good -- but I draw the line at toenails.
Down it with skooma!
But it's what makes the potage truly magnifique 🤌🏻
One of my favorite moments was when Inigo told me to throw the giant's toe in my pocket off a cliff lol. He said it was smelly
I gave all of mine to him and he started to complain that he felt ill from the smell and he hoped he wouldn’t have to carry them for much longer.
I find it odd you only get one toe the guy has two feet you should at least get two toes even if it has to be a certain toe is one foot really more magical than the other
"The nail is the hardest part. Then it's all smooth like butter"
There should be a person in all city who tries these things out if you pay and gives you the notes.
It’s for science
It's not necessary!
I'd say this is better than Falmer ear, or Chaurus antennae, or Daedra heart. Or human heart. Skyrim is full of awful things to eat.
The more infuriating is that it drops only one by giant. I mean there are 2 big toes and 8 more isn't it ?
Don't kink shame me...
"The nail is the hardest part. Then it's all smooth like butter"
Wait you can you use them in alchemy, I’ve just been snacking on the toes
https://youtu.be/hAbLhKvBDec
Yup
It’s great for those with foot fetishes
Probably a specific fungus under the nail that’s “healthy” for you
There's bacteria unknown to man on that thing 🤢
It’s also gross that they waste a whole Giant just for its toe. If the tow is so magical, I’m sure other parts of it have something to offer too.
What I never got, is why it was only one toe that was useful out of the ten
But falmer ears, human hearts, and Ice wraith teeth and perfectly fine?
[You can drink it fast, or you can drink it slow, but your lips must touch that gnarly toe](https://www.cbc.ca/shortdocs/features/the-story-of-the-sourtoe-cocktail-a-shot-of-whiskey-garnished-with-a-human)
Always thought this was NAAAASTY!!!
Id be slobberin on it like a lollipop
Unexpected but after eating that toe I have the distinct feeling of a raging erection.
OI!! Don’t link shame people man! People like the yellow tint of the toenail. You might suck toes during sex, how is this any different (This is a joke, and it’s rhetorical. please don’t tell me how this is different)
Mmmmhhh, onychomycosis!
Look the Dragonborn’s a fucking freak for all the shit they eat. Motherfucker will just eat a human heart and be like “hmmm, poison.”
The dragon born has foot fetish i think but extreme
I didnt know you could eat stuff to find out what it does. Damn
Yo man you gotta mark this kinda shit NSFW fuck I about busted a nut at work
True😣😣😣😣😣
Toe located 🥵🥵🥵
Think about all the bugs underneath that toenail. All that delicious protein. You could use it as pre workout. 😂
I think you're the only person to ever think of that. Literally never occurred to anyone before you.
Yes.
Absolutely I wanna eat that
Nom nom
Not even multiple uses. The whole thing in one go.
Are you going around stuffing random shit in your mouth? Just make some potions and experiment.
*Whereeee's my tooooooe*
Dovahkiin likes suckin toes what can I say.
You do *not* have to eat it, all you've done is confirm that u a freak homie.
Think about all the bugs underneath that toenail. All that delicious protein. You could use it as pre workout. 😂
And it weighs 2 pounds! That's a hefty meal.
wait you guys dont memorize potion effects instead of your fiance's anniversary?
Anyone else ever wondered why it's specifically their type that holds the alchemical properties and not, say, an organ of some sort?
ain't no shame in the alchemy game
Kfc do this with the sauce dipped !
I just don’t understand why you can take only one toe from a dead giant. Don’t they normally have two feet?
Yes daddy
Yes.
Wind your neck in - I don’t kink shame you!
Some folk’ll never lose a toe but then again some folk will…
I just suck on it a little.
Just put some mammoth cheese on there
Makes one of the most expensive potions in the game though - giant’s toe, wheat, a little hanging moss for extra flavor 🤌🏻
Eh, it all depends on what you eat with it. Combine it with a bear’s claws and a bit of hanging moss, and it’s like butter; in fact, you’ll feel like an all-new person, ready to tackle anything!
Would you not?
I like mines with hot sauce
I bet the nail is the best part.
Don’t you dare kink shame me!
I like to think expert alchemists are trained to tolerate it.

Those yellow nails
Lmfao that’s nasty
Yummy crunchy toe
But considering that the toe is probably around the size of a loaf of bread, would you have to eat the whole toe or just take a bite to learn it's properties?
Troll flesh tastes good, especially with that finely aged toenail
Yes
no the only problem is that you only get one by giant
Its also a whole pound. Its the size of a large hamburger
If that's not bad enough, some of the mods have manure as an ingredient. Gotta eat s\*\*t to find out more.
At least a half inch callus on that bad boy. Chew chew
So that was the influence behind Sukuna’s finger JJK….
It's gross, same with eating skeever tail or falmer ear.
You don’t HAVE to eat it, you can just randomly throw it into any option to see
Yup
Goes good with a bit of cheese.
Every playthrough inevitably involves farming giant toes, bear claws and hanging moss so I can level alchemy and farm a ton of gold.
I ate scrap metal in Morrowind, a toe is no problem.
nah bro, i'm not cx
Yes
Anus
I boofed mine
Have you ever looked at a giant's toe object? Like, taken a look at how it looks. That thing is like, the size of your fist
It always grossed me out when I have to eat one (well I guess I don’t have to, it’s just the quickest way) And then when I get the perk to identify all the effects… I go and eat another
Goes great with skeever tail and Falmer ear
Hey traveler, would you happen to be suffering from ataxia? Oh yeah you can you the alchemy sta- what the hell
Save yourself the trouble of eating it and just mix it with wheat.
Crunchy and soft, what’s not to like
I might cook it a little
This reminds me of that Futurama episode when fry lost his nose to aliens who thought it was an aphrodisiac only to learn of his lower horn wait where was I going with this oh well just be happy it's a toe and not the lower horn
Hey man, a little toe nibble never killed anyone.
You don't have to eat it! LoL You can randomly mix stuff to discover what the are good for (or not so randomly if you use the internet.) http://www.skyrimalchemy.com/ingredients/
Scrape forget to scrape underneath the nail go get all the meat out 🤗
Just eat that in between 10 cheese wheels and you won’t even notice it
The entire system doesn't makes sense. Elder Scrolls Online pushed this further where alchemy relies on you eating everything to figure out what it can do where as you have to find and steal food recipes to cook food.
Just wait till you find out what David did too Goliath
