Ya starvation is a hell of a thing. Same way people found out that certain berries are only edible after they've been soaked for a few weeks in running water, or certain fruit have specific edible bits only when perfectly ripe, or certain roots have to have specific bits cut away and then cooked to be edible.

Wanna time travel to observe the first time native Hawaiians tried that root plant that's described as tasting like you're eating shards of glass.

They probably didn't have much in the way of glass back then though, not like anyone's eating obsidian.

You mean the solution they invented for a problem they invented? Got to love the processed food industry.


Poorly photographed, but that is all delicious if bland food. Would eat it all up. The brown gravy on the potatoes is a misstep with the corned beef, though. Should be boiled potatoes, no gravy, just lots of salt.

She knew immediately the crunch was too loud. Echoes careened off far surfaces, thudding ponderously against the ears of the men in the room. She could feel their granite glares as they fell upon her one by one. Demurely, her slight fingers obscured her lips, but it was for naught as the crunching continued only barely muffled. At long last, her femininity torn to shreds by the jagged corn chip shards, she delicately swallowed; her cheeks flushed with mortal shame at the glottal gulp that resounded. At long last, her desperate plight waned, though a betraying hand strayed towards the savory morsels in their cellophane cocoon. drat this masculine treat! drat its forbidden temptations pulling at her graceful femininity like the cock-sure rake!

Or figured out how to very carefully cut away the parts of the pufferfish loaded with lethal poison (spoilers: most of it) to get at the parts that are safe to eat.

We had a potluck at work for Patties day, and that's what our manager brought in. Corned beef, and potatoes and cabbage that had been boiled in the beef juices. That was great.

This one I think gets a really bad rep from that episode of The Simpsons. It's actually not particularly hard to make safe, you just need to fillet them fairly cleanly I think. The first European to document pufferfish (James Cook) managed not to die of it, or any of his crew, despite not knowing they were poisonous. The pigs that they fed the scraps to died, though. A few of the crew reported slight numbness in the mouth is all.

i ate about 2 g of the fugu skin once, that was alright. you can actually eat a fair bit of the skin

my dad went to a fugu restaurant like every two weeks for a year because it was super convenient to the place where he was working
my mom was not pleased

The Seattle area has a ridiculous amount of really good Asian food and it sucks that I cannot find fugu anywhere here, I'm guessing it's some bitchass law we have in the US or something

it's going to be one of the first things I try when I eventually make it to japan though

I had it with my parents at a fancy rear end tempura restaurant as part of a set course and at the end the chef asked if there was anything they'd especially liked and wanted more of they said "yeah that fish was really good". I told them afterwards what it was.

I'm pretty sure the poison is only in some of the organs, not the actual flesh or skin, or at least not in lethal quantities. So like I said, as long as you clean and fillet the fish well you're fine

I believe it is the liver that is the source of the toxin and the fugu training basically consists of regular sanitation and sushi prep, as well as how to handle the fugu and dress them so no part of the liver is damaged or left.

That's how I understand it. Apparently I got fugu shirako as part of an extremely fancy set course when I was in Japan as a student many years ago. I didn't know what it was at the time, but now I know that shirako is basically a sperm sac I can safely say that fugu jizz will not turn your lips numb.
