It’s no wonder we can’t stop thinking, talking, and even making memes about food. We eat every day, and there’s something special about how a tasty meal can lift our spirits. But what makes humans so fascinated with food? Unlike other animals that simply eat to survive, we’ve taken it to the next level—playing with flavors, experimenting with spices, baking, frying, and more.

At least you didn't have The Rumple Minze.

It is commonly served chilled, straight up (in some cases as a digestif) or it can also be mixed to form various cocktails. This s**t will mess you up.

As evolutionary biologist Darren Curnoe from UNSW explains, it likely began when our ancestors started cooking meat about a million years ago. Cooking not only made food safer by killing off harmful parasites and bacteria, but it also made it easier to chew and digest. This allowed humans to evolve with smaller teeth and weaker jaws, making space for our brains to grow bigger.

Learning to cook also meant humans didn’t need to eat as frequently. Many vegetables and other raw foods we once relied on didn’t offer much nutritional value. Cooking released more nutrients, which helped our ancestors get more energy from fewer meals—a luxury our raw-food-eating chimpanzee relatives don’t have, Curnoe notes.

Yeah but no one is interviewing YOU about YOUR fabulous diet, are they.
But getting more calories wasn’t the main reason our ancestors decided to start cooking. “Scientists often focus on what the eventual benefit is, rather than the immediate mechanism that allowed our ancestors to make the choice. We made the choice because of deliciousness. And then the eventual benefit was more calories and fewer pathogens,” says Rob Dunn, a professor of applied ecology at North Carolina State University and author of Delicious: The Evolution of Flavour and How it Made Us Human.

Growing up the liquor wasn't off limits, I just didn't care anything about having it. If I wanted a beer, whiskey sour, daiquiri, rum and coke...all I had to do was ask for it. That was from a very early age, 6? on. And to this day I have no real desire for alcoholic drinks. I drink ONE occasionally and it's always just 1. Yes, I've been drunk a couple times when I was about 20. Probably why I only drink one now. Hated that feeling.
Early humans who preferred the taste of cooked food over raw food started gaining an evolutionary advantage. “In general, flavour rewards us for eating the things we’ve needed to eat in the past,” Dunn says.
For example, the smell of cooked meat is much more complex than that of raw meat. So, those who developed a preference for these richer aromas were likely more evolutionarily advanced. “Meat goes from having tens of aromas to having hundreds of different aroma compounds,” adds Dunn.

It would depend on the specific occasion and on the preferences of my team.

I would have brought a variety if it was something generic instead of a birthday (think chocolate cake, fruit cake and a normal pound cake).

As humans evolved, so did their taste receptors. For instance, the reason many of us enjoy sour foods and fermented drinks like beer and wine could be because the acid in sour foods signaled to our ancestors whether something was safe to eat.
“Most mammals have sour taste receptors,” says Dunn. “But in almost all of them, with very few exceptions, the sour taste is aversive—so most primates and other mammals, in general, will, if they taste something sour, spit it out. They don’t like it.”

But after one cookie my nostalgia is satisfied and the rest just sit there mocking me.
Having a variety of tools to help them find tasty food gave our ancestors the confidence to venture into new environments, knowing they could always find something to eat, no matter the season. “It really allows our ancestors to move out into the world and do new things,” Dunn shares.

At the same time, Dunn believes humanity’s quest for delicious food has had serious consequences for other species. “We know that humans around the world hunted species to extinction, once they figured out how to hunt really effectively,” he says.
And unfortunately, we’re still guilty of this today, as overconsumption continues to harm the environment and displace many animals from their natural habitats. So while it’s understandable that we all love our meals and take pride in how creative we’ve become with food, it’s important that we start treating it more responsibly and sustainably.

Tbf the country is massive. All of the states have different histories: some were British crown colonies, some were settled by, basically refugees, some started as completely private ventures (Pennsylvania literally belonged to the Penn family). Texas used to be a separate country. And then there's the traditions brought by all kinds of immigrants: English, German (massive presence!), Italian, Irish, Polish, Jewish. There's also French and Mexican influences.And Chinese. And Japanese. Back in the day it would take months to travel across the country. Problem is, that what we see of it is, very often, what we see in movies and tv, and that is neither realistic nor does it show the complexity of the USA.

Ice cream sandwiches melt too fast for a phone call, and pop-tarts taste like, well, dryness. I nominate that rectangular doughnut things you get at the grocery store in the US. It has the added bonus of giving your dog some sweet frosting to lick off the side of your face.

When I was younger coriander tasted like soap but when I was about 18 it changed for me and I now enjoy it. I'm sure there are others this happened to, but everyone I know was either one side or the other and never changed.

I think there are different kinds of cilantro since you can't change genetics. I like cilantro, I can eat piles of it. However, the local Turkish store sells cilantro that seriously tastes like soap to me, and in another Turkish restaurant a while back the cilantro was also soapy. So I guess they are using a variety of cilantro that is soapier than the Asian style one.

My secret for macaroni and cheese is a secret because people sorta think it's gross when they find out, even though it is probably used in 3/4 of restaurant mac and cheese. (PS - it's brown mustard.)

I love brown mustard in mac n' cheese! My partner also makes a version with a little salsa in it for a spicy kick. Very delicious, and not gross at all!

Not sure if it's still in business, but back in the 90s (Jesus, I'm getting old!), there was a fast food Italian chain called Fazoli's where you could get all that stuff. They had this baked spaghetti dish that was literally just spaghetti and sauce topped with a huge amount of mozzarella that was baked until the cheese was juuuuust starting to brown and crisp. So yummy...

Sue User 1 year ago
Tator tots were invented by F. Nephi Grigg, and Golden Grigg at the Ore-Ida factory in Ontario , Oregon ( which sits on the border of Oregon and Idaho ). They wanted to use the leftover bits from making french fries. So they chopped them up and made little nuggets. The name belongs to Ore-Ida, but has become generic, like Kleenex.

This is a more serious response than anyone probably was looking for, but -- become a volunteer for something you feel strongly about. You are a lot more likely to find friends (and perhaps more than friends) at an event where you already share at least one common interest; and besides that, since you both have a reason to be there beyond just meeting someone, it takes a lot of the pressure off of things.
