borscht
You know just how hungry people have been in the past by what it is they eat.
People talk about the Irish famines? Come on, the Irish ate potatoes. Is that famine? Hell no. That is French fries. Those Irish were living it up as far as famines go and Jonathan Swift aside let me tell you, if the worst thing you ever ate in your life when you were hungry is a potatoe well you are on easy street Patrick.
Now haggis, you know just looking at haggis [do not put that in your mouth!] the Scotts got real hungry. No one would even eat haggis if they were not real real hungry. I think of haggis as dare food. You know, something people dared you to eat just to see if you would do it? And then the famine hit and ooops, you ate it for real?
And then there is borscht. That is beet soup. No one in their right mind would make beet soup unless he or she was really really hungry. So I guess the Russians get in there too.
I would mention kimchi here [which I cannot even spell sorry kimchi fans -- um, roughly translated "kimchi fans" means people from outer space] but that has not been even denoted as a real food yet N.A.S.A. scientists are still wondering about its origins and whether those origins are on earth so forget kimchi it is not food it is an alien experiment.
Meanwhile.
The winner take all in the these-people-were-once-hungry department is:
Lutefisk.
God bless the Swedes. Those people must have been really starving.
Love
and Kisses,
Your Lutefisk is Not Food Adams Girl
