I’m sure every new culinary experience was found via a triple dog dare.

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

this has got to be a truth, the triple dog dare is so powerful

stu4calde.bsky.social•80 days ago

To be fair it was probably some starving half ape that didn't put much thought into it.

blueskypja.bsky.social•80 days ago

Wonder if they were chicken?

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

WELL-PLAYED

I think the first person to eat an egg was an ape. Or an ape's son or daughter who grew up eating the eggs their ape parent pilfered from nests.

ktcakes.bsky.social•79 days ago

I’m guessing he was just really hungry.

zcat6.bsky.social•80 days ago

Im'ma eat whatever comes next outta dat chicken's butt.

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

like that is 100% the vibe

curtisjhicks.bsky.social•79 days ago

I wonder if they tried to eat it whole before they decided to eat just the inside.

rieseralex.bsky.social•80 days ago

I think about the first person to eat toast.

They went dang this bread thing is pretty good. Cook it again.

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

twice-baked bread yes

nocureforchronic.bsky.social•80 days ago

Makes more sense than an oyster. At least they were watching other animals eating eggs before they tried for the first time.

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

why did i just picture a bear making an omelette

nocureforchronic.bsky.social•80 days ago

The brain is an association machine and it will spit out random associations like a slot machine when prompted.

sewasty.bsky.social•80 days ago

I think about this all the time. Was there a designated food tester that would eat random things to see if they were edible/poisonous/good tasting?

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

that would be such a weird job

esylviapoet.bsky.social•80 days ago

How about an olive? This tastes terrible! Let’s bury it in salt and come back in six months.

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

HOW DID WE EVEN THINK OF THAT HOLY SHIT

whittemorvich.bsky.social•80 days ago

probably an attempt to preserve it in salt but left it too long

esylviapoet.bsky.social•79 days ago

But WHYYY would you want to preserve something that in its original state in inedible?

emmabolden.bsky.social•79 days ago

it makes NO SENSE but tbh i am glad they did bc i can eat an infinity of olives

esylviapoet.bsky.social•79 days ago

ME TOO

jb495.bsky.social•79 days ago

Imagine how popular the first person to figure out how to make beer was.

drkeenerj.bsky.social•79 days ago

I also wonder why you tend not to see chicken omelets. Do you think it feels taboo?

emmabolden.bsky.social•79 days ago

omg it’s too much, you’re so right

siramory.bsky.social•80 days ago

how did we come about cheese. esp blue cheese 😭

waltwalters.bsky.social•80 days ago

These are the types of historical people I would sit down with. Not known famous people. Let me ask questions of the first person to ever build a bridge over a river.

ashleystro.bsky.social•80 days ago

In my family we are keenly interested to know about the first man to meet a mole, but y’all’s are very good too

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

listen that person had to be absolutely bonkers

maddiechatz22.bsky.social•80 days ago

I used to think about the first person who drank cow’s milk

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

OH GOD

darkfloors.bsky.social•80 days ago

Probably didn't know to cook it first. Also thought it was solid.

Egg on their face, LITERALLY!

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

ancient protein gym bros gulping raw eggs

darkfloors.bsky.social•80 days ago

Am reminded of bodybuilder on TruTV World's Dumbest who swallowed a dozen raw eggs.

Then proceeded to unswallow a few, heh, heh.

laplkp.bsky.social•80 days ago

I’m pretty sure catsup up wasn’t around then, either.

emmabolden.bsky.social•80 days ago

that’s so sad for the ancients
