Who first ate rotten, solidified milk rather than throwing it in the sea?  OK, I love cheese and I'm grateful it happened, but really, how on earth did it seem like a good idea to start with?

Who looked at a large, knobbly, thick-skinned, bitter-tasting, yellow citrus fruit and decided to name it after a grape?

Think of all of the poisonous plants flowers and herbs , were they found to be poisonous by trial and error.

well if you really want to start this. I always wonder how anybody discovered how to bake bread. If you think about how many processes are needed when did they get tiem to experiment with it all. in the days bread was started people were living hand to mouth and it would seem had little time for a bit of culinary experimentation. bread is quite an art form.

I have also wondered about the orange/banana thing and I assume they must have killed themselves often trying stuff that was poisonous.

 :dft001: Ummmm, I like eating orange peel.  (Has to be unwaxed though.)   And I do like the orange flesh too.  I have tried banana skin and am not keen.

Who figured out that one shouldn't try milking a bull? Was it the guy who tried or the guy who found the guy who tried?

"Hundreds" of plants, or parts of plants, have specific healing properties.  But how on earth did we detect or discover those specific properties ?

The one that never ceases to amaze me is how scrupulous and diligent we are taught to be about washing our hands after going to the lavatory but that oral and anal sex are both obsessions with a huge proportion of the global population.

P.S. Trump that one with any more of your fruit questions:-)

[NogoodBoyo]

That closed what was an interesting thread.  Anybody offended?  Want me to delete my question?  Peabody?
