Edible ink?
 
Urgh, don't. You're bringing back memories of the time I sucked on a pen tube a bit too hard in an RE lesson and filled my mouth with ink. They really should work harder on making that stuff taste less like earwax.

Yeah, so you could suck it back and like it.
 
Edible radishes, perhaps?
