If you are a real Turian Fan (Aka, a Turian-geek, like me), you'll get the joke in the title.
Because every Mass Effect fan have to do one fanart in his life, i had to do it too. Of course i drew a Turian, why? Because they are the Space military badass of the galaxy, and even Chuck Norris can't beat them (And Garrus is Chuck Norris and Batman's master, but you already know it)
At first, this was supposed to just be some sort of training, and actually, turned good enough to be a real artwork.
Anyway, everything is random: It's a random Turian, with random (heavy?) armor, random tattoo, and random medals.
Still have to calibrate them. But for now, I must go.

Most of the proteins you consume are oriented the same direction. Their molecules have interacted with each other and enzymes in a controlled manner over such a long period on Earth that their 'mirrored' variants no longer occur naturally. Hence we are made up of and function mostly on levo-amino acids, 'levo' meaning 'left'.
'Dextro'(meaning 'right')-amino acids refers to the mirrored variants of all chiral proteins abundant in life. Its as equally possible that dextro-amino acids could constitute the greater portion for life on other planets as levo-amino compounds.
Its the same proteins, the same life, just 'backwards' at the molecular level. A lifeform based on dextro-amino acids could be an exact duplicate of an earth creature, including humans, visually, except that their DNA would actually turn the other direction.
The toxicity interpretations are speculative at best, but consuming specific dextro proteins could cause malfunctions in a levo-based creature's lowest level digestion mechanisms, producing at best the wrong and at worst deadly compounds, but for the most part the enzymes associated with a protein are biased to only that protein like a glove. There are some dextro-amino acids identified that would be toxic to a levo-based creature, but these are high-complexity with no naturally occurring levo variants anyway.
Most 'sweet' tasting things, sugars, are actually dextro variants.
Spearmint leaves actually contain both levo and dextro variants of their amino acids.
For the most part, incompatible amino acids would simply be ignored, and actually tasteless.
What this means:
Garrus will taste like liquid sugar.
