LeGOATski Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Smell When some kind of flesh caught fire, it smelled good. Then they were like "if it smells good after burning, let's eat it after burning it." The rest is history. 2

Buffalo_Gal Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 No flame, they loved sushi and steak tartare. And to think, people pay big bucks for cavemen "delicacies" these days. 1
SinceThe70s Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Corollary question: how many forest fires before someone discovered ganja? Or if they ate it first, which caveman Einstein determined incineration/inhalation trumped digestion? But if they ate it first, how many cases of tracheal poison ivy did they endure before they struck gold? 1
Fadingpain Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I bet cooking with fire was discovered by accident or mistake, and then people realized it was better doing it that way than going raw.
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 They ran the wholly mammoths & later, American bison off cliffs into blind canyons. Then brought their knives and forks!
Augie Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I bet they found a Martha Stewart cookbook with photos. That’s all it took.

Did somebody mention "tartare." The Monguls/Tartars would tenderize meat by riding on it while on horseback. Eat it raw.

When I came back stateside,I jived my way into a SERE course courtesy of the Corps.We drank our urine,ate raw elk which included organ meat, since the limitation of any access to flame was grossly low in a wet,damp forest...but a fella we called Junkman got us lit..the raw consumption was rough.I vote flame....and don't trust wild mushrooms.Igotchopeyoteritehea. 1

unbillievable Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 The first person to eat cheese probably did it on a dare.

My uneducated guess is when there were fires in the forest or savanna, animals were trapped and burned. Hungry early humans found them, liked it and must have made the connection. So I'm going to say Animals, final answer.

Fr. Jerk Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Makes me wonder who had the idea to snort cocaine and all the bad stuff that person probably snorted prior. Edited October 10, 2018 by The Jerk
