John, take it from one who knows: If you’re hungry enough, you’ll eat anything.
Please see also this.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Kind of like what made the first person eat that white round thing that just came out of the chickens butt.

My father once told me a story that shows the power of coming at things with an outsider’s eyes. In NYC’s suburbs you get a lot of canadian honker geese. They’re considered something of a nuisance but are protected because they were hunted to fairly low numbers decades ago. My father once looked at a peaceful flock camped out on some corporate lawn and pointed them out to me. “What do you see” he asked? I replied some geese. He said, that there was proof that there were no truly hungry people around, that if there were, they would have gotten a long stick, broken their legs (so they couldn’t ffly away), wrung their necks and eaten enough of them that the rest would be afraid of humans.
Look around for unprotected, unpicked fruit trees and eating birds that aren’t afraid of people. Hunger is a stranger in that neighborhood.

Lobster….
Who on God’s green earth was the first to think that maybe a giant aquatic cockroach would be a good idea for dinner?
Pity I’m allergic… it looks tasty.
Happy Thanksgiving.
