Well now I have a delicacy called the toast sandwich.

Delicacy is maybe not the word I'd use, but it certainly exists

That actually sounds kind’a dynamite.

Sweden: hold my sandwich cake!

Smörgås tårta.

I've not heard of anyone else making such a thing, but not surprised it does exist. However, I can 1-up that with my childhood creation - the triple fold sandwich. One slice of buttered bread, one slice of buttered toast & one slice of butter fried bread. Fold each one in half, overlapping half of the adjacent piece. You get a mix of three different bready textures & flavours in each bite. I haven't made it in a few decades so I may not enjoy it so much now, but it was good at the time!

Butter was discovered by accident when humans were still nomadic tribes. Milk was transported in animal skin bags and the agitation from travel turned it into butter. Probably being chased by something or running very fast.

For every person that managed to make maple syrup there must be several that made a stew from danger-mushrooms.

I think there's a lot of "dare you to eat that" in food history.

The first one would have been obvious by the time Europeans reached the Americas because reducing things to increase the intensity of flavours by removing water would have been a known cooking technique for a long time by then (and I'm guessing would have been figured out soon after the invention of pots). Then, it would have been a matter of someone who was aware of that technique tasting raw sap, realizing it was sweet, then trying to extract the sugar through reduction, then discovering it's still pretty good as a syrup rather than dry sugar.

And extracting sap from trees goes way back, as that's what frankincense and myr were (and disappointing to find out these "precious substances" just smell like church).

blue cheese was discovered from a guy eating lunch in a cave, and leaving it unfinished to go talk to a pretty girl. when he came back months later the cheese had molded into blue cheese and he ate it and it was good

Yogurt is also very interesting, as its bacteria originates from ants. Who would think "hmm ants have infested my milk container but hey let me taste what they did to milk anyways"

Who though to stab a tree and collect the juice? I want that mf knighted

Enter, Zwieback.

Yeah it does look a bit thin

And then you have those people who cut the crust off bread.

I also often call it that (I'm Polish-British)

Like a mouthful of worn pantyhose that has done an office shift and then inhale through the nose

How'd you find my diary?

Every potato should be cooked twice. It's the correct way

Accents like that and the shit cropping are becoming the sort of artifacts that authenticate a human touch. Like using dogs to weed out Terminators.
