Reality Check by Dave Whamond for December 18, 2015

It’s the hot sauce

what about pineapples, eels, artichokes, sea urchins, and cactus?

Culinary evidence confirms lobsters were known to ancient Romans and Greeks. http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodlobster.html#aboutlobster

Kinda like oysters. Looks like something that would come out of an ox’s nose.

Seabugs. Landbugs (snails, pardon me, “Escargot”).Theyr’e all bugs in butter. Bleah.

Funny fact that in the USA they were considered the rats of the sea and were only fed to prison inmates since fishermen just threw them away. Little did the inmates know they were being treated to what is today considered gourmet food. Oh to be in prison in the 1700’s. Well, except for the disease, beatings , hard labor and extremely shortened life expectancy.

Hunger doth make gourmets of us all.

katzenbooks45!That’s even better than “Hunger is the best condiment.”

Hmm. Is that an oyster or a wad of snot? Guess I’ll have to find out….

Lobsters are poor man’s food in the South Pacific too.

There are many foods that make me wonder, “Who was hungry enough to try that first?”

I always thought something similar about crabs.

YEah, I always wondered who first decided garlic wouldn’t kill you.
