I enjoy looking a everyone’s menus. I look up stuff I’ve never heard of. So today I look up cassava.
…..ok… a starchy tuberous root. Sounds reasonable.
learn about the regions it grows. Exporters, blah, blah, blah….
I scan “antinutritional factors”, reread. Reread again.
ANTINUTRITIONAL FACTORS! Ok then… improper prep leaves enough residual cyanide for cyanide intoxication, goiters, paralysis & death.

I’ll be taking a hard pass on the cassava and jackfruit if I make it to the tropics. (added the fruit, cuz you only try it once,)
but the good news is, if you have food insecurity, theives hardly ever steal it! 🤦‍♀️😂

It can be interesting how many fruits do have cyanide. Not to mention other foods that have to be processed to make them safe.

as the highly cultured person i am, I learned about cyanide in cherry pits from Ozark (Netflix). 😂 but until now I didn’t know that I should research the subject! Thanks Kanga!

Apples too, and also almonds among quite a few others. I regularly will pick wild pokeweed which comes out with a spinachy taste to make poke sallet/poke salad and not cleaned correctly it can poison a person.

My regular diet of chips and ice cream doesn't seem so bad after all....

I roasted a chicken and shared it with the dogs...They turned down the sautéed arugula and kale with garlic and lemon.

I never got over the sardines, vienna sausages from as a kid camping out while hunting or fishing where you would pack some in case you didn't catch whatever fish or bag whatever animal, but the one thing I remember far worse was some old C-rations my uncle had from his days in Vietnam. The ham and lima beans were so bad that they were called ham and motherfuckers and most nobody wanted them. LOL

Today was fried dove.
