Apparently according to the bible Jesus gave his own flesh and blood to his friends to eat and drink, Is this believed to be true?
What do you think he tasted like? Being the son of god i would assume he was already bursting with flavor but do you think he marinated himself beforehand or would everyone just have added salt and pepper once he was on the plate? When his guests left was he left to do the washing up as a skeleton? Were there any leftovers? How long would Jesus's flesh keep for without refrigeration?

The fact of the matter: Yes: his flesh is the bread of life and his blood is the blood that gives us everlasting life and also heals us from are trespass and sins, so we can enter the kingdom of God The Lord Jesus Christ only.
A consideration of the context suggests that event refers to His teaching being "imbibed". This figurative language is seen with references to "I AM the bread of life", and "manna". References, like "Light of the world", "Good shepherd" are seen in the context in which they are given.
The tradition is to eat bread (flesh) and wine (blood) as a reminder of the sacrifice. Yet, Jesus didn't sacrifice, he was murdered. Remember, he asked God "why hath thou foresaken me?"
Wrong, that's not what the text says (and I know you're trolling).
Mt 26:27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
He called the "cup" his blood, but then immediately afterwards referred to it as grape juice. Obviously he was using symbolic language, in particular, a metaphor, something he did throughout his ministry.
In Jn 6:53-58, he used the same metaphor about "eating and drinking" him except in this case, instead of it having to do with remembering his death (1Cor 11:24-26), the metaphor had to do with "consuming" his words (v. 63).
The Eucharist came from cannibalism which was a religious ritual going back thousands of years prior to the New Testament. There is nothing original in Christianity.
