I once drank a curdled whey beverage. Finding surprise marshmallows in my mouth immediately compelled me to projectile vomit. That is what I immediately remember every time people talk about ancient food discoveries. It’s an utterly foreign mindset to me. I can only wonder how many times these things were independently discovered before they were actually eaten. I’d wager many
Starvation and famine helps … if your options are eat nothing and die … or … try this semi rotten piece of food or this thing that’s been sitting in the sun for three days or this liquid that fermented for a week … most people would try out a bunch of things because they know they’re about to die anyway.
