    I can’t believe haggis didn’t make the list. It’s almost the grossest thing I can imagine.

      I’ll agree with that about the farmed ones, but the wild organic Haggi are amazing

    Artichokes, and artichoke hearts.

    Who decided to eat only certain PARTS of a thistle?

    What about mushrooms !

    There are a lot of stuff on this list that people ate because they were poor, and said “welp better than starving.” But then aquired a taste for it and it became a delicasy. Lobster and crabs were fed to prisoners, because it was cheap and plentiful back in the day.

    Oysters are nasty, I blow them out of my nose all the time!

    We live in a time of food abundance. But in early times food was hard to get. Every source of calorie was nessecary to survive. So you will eat what you get and you find ways to conserve food for later.

    Chittlerings. The old adage, “if it smells like, tastes like it and looks like it, it’s it”.
    And “it” is what passes through every single sense you have.
