wtf did the Irish eat before
rocks
fish I guess
Fish and dairy
Snakes
weren't as many mouths to feed
Tomatoes are also a new world plant. Hard to imagine Italian food without tomatoes
Snake famine of 700 ad was grim
Another anglo plot
Potatoes have carbs and should therefore be banned
wikipedia rabbit hole time on the origin of various vegetables...
👋
Potatoes are a fungus, not a fruit
... what
dont worry about it, just dont eat carbs
Potatoes are actually closely related to Tomatoes
As are peppers
as are eggplants
as is tobacco
Not eating carbs is another anglo plot to seperate irish from their potatoes.
I wonder if that's why people used to think tomatoes were poisonous
@ophiuchus that's exactly why
If I remember correctly
Maybe the original ones were
Modern vegetables have been bred so much theyre vastly different from their natural forms
it was probably more along the lines of,
"you ever try this plant?"-so and so
"no"-John Doe
"should i risk trying it?"-so and so
"probably not worth it"-John Doe
I wonder how people figured out which plants were poisonous
trial and error
probably "hey generic convict, eat this mushroom"
"oh wow he didn't die"
We have lots of dead teens to thank for discovering new edible foods
Honestly if youre in survival situation you boil it and rub it on gums. Wait. Eat a tiny amount. Wait. Eat more. Wait. Etc.
or just have guts of iron and deal with it
Good way to die
"you can eat any mushroom once"
You can detect almost all poisonous foods by sampling tiny amounts in the way described. Obviously dont reinvent the wheel if you dont have to.
gonna go do some more work then hit the gym, good talking to y'all as always

@ophiuchus I heard that the Irish diet was super heavy in dairy before they had potatoes
