I wonder how hungry the first person who tried raw oysters must have been when he decided, "I'm going to try eating one of these". I'm guessing about as hungry as the first guy was when he decided to give tripe a shot. If not for the affects of near starvation, I have to believe there are a lot of foods that would never have been discovered. Personally, I'd have to put grits on that list, unless of course you smoother them in butter and or bacon grease. Ala' cart, grits might as well be saw dust in my opinion. No offense to all the fine folks who like grits: if it weren't for you guys, we'd have to come up with some other way to dispose of all that saw dust! I'll keep you posted....
PS. Historically "test eaters" were likely all males e.g: "No-No Blanch, put that darn thing down: let Bill try it first!"
