   Is the difference between venom and poison strictly the delivery mechanism, but once you have them in a bowl they're the same?

   Or can you look at the composition and say like, hmm, yeah, this one would clearly be more effective when injected/ingested?

     Pretty sure there are plenty of venoms that won't function as poisons because the digestive process neutralises them before they can do harm.

     Bet there are fewer poisons that won't work as venoms though.

     @unixsmurf That's what I'm guessing too.
