[Derek Wilson]

What food has made you wonder, "How did our ancestors discover that this was edible?"

 

[AlexPowell]

Kale

 

[Sparta12]

Cows milk, like why was someone jerking off a cow titty.... and why did they drink it?

 

[D3x]

Castorum..

"natural flavoring" typically how it's listed on labels lol.. anything vanilla or raspberry typically has it in it..that's definitely one that makes you wonder how the fck did they determine the use of flavoring with that one..

So what you are saying, is we should all go out an lick some beavers anus to see if they have different flavors?

"Try some more. The strawberries taste like strawberries, and the snozzberries taste like snozzberries, the beavers anus like rasberries"

 

[D3x]

Hahahaha

Coffee ?
Hey this small "fruit" tastes really bad, i'ma dry it, roast it, crush it, and then drown it in boiling water then drink it !?

Aliens

Aliens

Don't be absurd.. no one eats aliens.. that'd be cannibalism.. which is frowned upon in most cultures..

Dont forget Community Coffee. But, have you ever seen a fat Cajun. When they eat off the land instead of a box?

How about most things from the ocean - lobster, crabs, squid.

I imagine most cavemen coming across something new and handing it to a friend saying, "Hey - try this, it's delicious."

Onions. Who cut one open and said "hey this thing makes me cry...let's eat it"

We've messed up along the way then lol things are nasty

Nearly all fruit and vegetables you eat have been bred over generations and turned them into something else. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts etc are all the same species!

I would imagine some varieties may have been more bitter.. but the most common wild onions are extremely sweety.. cool fun fact about why onions make you cry.. when the membranes are broken (ie cut up) sulfur bonds with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide and when that reaches your eyes it bonds with the h2o to form H2SO4(sulfuric acid) in your eyes.. your body releases saline to rinse the acid out and prevent damage to your cornea..

People would watch what other animals eat and drink. That's how we figured out most foods

I didn't say it explains everything, but that's how (most) things were discovered edible

It had to have been a dare..

The meat you eat has been selectively bred over generations too haha. This isn’t inherently a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination.
