Maybe your stomachs still work properly. The other day I had a slice of cake and I swear I had to rush to the toilet before I had even finished it. I cannot understand how that’s physically possible.
Olives are toxic until they’ve been brined. Those sort of discoveries always make me wonder… who figured out that immersing them in salt water for a month would make them edible without making you sick?
Pair tens of thousands of years with hungry little hominins and you will find that all kinds of improbable plants can be rendered edible in surprisingly specific ways. Where I live, on the US west coast, for example, it’s been thousands of years since the indigenous people figured out how to render acorns edible.
I’ve found my people. Think I’ll go indulge in a brick of cheddar right now. The concrete that I have to pass tomorrow will be … well … tomorrow’s problem.
People get sick from eating olives? Man I can eat a jar of green olives, pair it with a brick of cheddar cheese and you’ve got yourself a meal.
Yeah wtf? I’ll eat a whole jar of kalamata and have no problems.
