No, to the average person, it definitely does not. :) Very salty and eventually nauseating actually. But, the way I'm justifying it is that some essence of the portal, whatever it's origin is Alien, Magic or Super-Science, "seeped" (lack of a better word) into her body and changed the way it reacts to the world, mostly to ensure the would-be portal-jumper's survival. And this essence has changed the way her tastebuds translate the chemicals in blood, the blood hasn't chnged but her perception of it's flavor. This residual "portal-essence" is also what protects her from the cop's bullets and contributes ever slightly to her cruel apathy towards the bug-sized humans she tortures. Why? Because. That's why. :) In other words, I brought the essence into the story so i could make the giantess do more things I wanted her to. :) Anyhoo, I hope you continue to enjoy my story, and thank you for complimenting my descriptions.
