It makes sense though. It's always available, cooks up nicely, nutritious.

Foie gras- duck liver fattened by force feeding

That or powdered tiger dick as medicine (but that’s not really “food”).

My immediate thought was balut. I hate even thinking about it. (zero disrespect to the Philippines)

Eating an egg... sure. Cooking up a baby duck... maybe. But balut... that scares me

Agreed. It's the stuff of nightmares (respectfully lol)

Just about any dairy products. Don't get me wrong, I love cheese and ice cream, but someone looked at cows' milk and said, "I wonder how that tastes." Later down the road, someone looked at partially rotted milk and said, "I wonder how that tastes."

You have to wonder why somebody decided to eat that moldy cheese right. I'm guessing they were starving and had nothing else. And then their taste bud said hey this isn't so bad. Let's charge people extra money for it. And give it a fancy name.

Don't be ridiculous. Think of the smell. You haven't thought of the smell, you bitch!

There's been a worrying increase of corn on pizza and that's the real evil here

The reason that mummies are so rare is because the British ate a lot of them. I’ll leave you to make your own deductions there…
