[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the things folks have been mentioning are things I personally believe no one actually naturally loves the taste of. People eat all manner of weird stuff, because they have to, because they're curious, because they're showing off. But I truly doubt there are a lot of people who are going to proactively choose to live on rotten cheese and fermented cabbage when there are other available options.

I am personally interested in why we as a species got super into putting stuff in Jello. Personally, I think moving to office supplies over food is a huge improvement to this behavior, but why did it seem upper class and cool to congeal stuff that way?[/quote]

Aspic, which is meat jello, used to be a very high class thing (because it’s difficult and labor-intensive to do properly so it shows you have good servants). When jello came along and democratized the “stuff in gelatin” field the middle class loved it. Why did aspic become a thing? Who knows. [/quote]
