killamch89 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I recently learned that honey never spoils like archaeologists have found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that’s still safe to eat. That got me wondering, what’s a food fact that completely shocked you? Maybe it’s something about how a common food is made, an unusual ingredient in something you eat all the time, or just a weird historical fact.

The Blackangel Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Shark fin soup. I know people who have tried it, and I’ve read reviews online, and everyone says the same thing. It has no flavor and almost no texture. Which makes me wonder what the hell is the point? You can’t taste it, and almost can’t feel it. I’ll stick with chicken noodle, thank you very much.

That'd make it worse if it didn't go some way towards filling your stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Apparently it’s not much different than condensed soup. A can of water and 3 or 4 noodles. It’s more broth than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, Almond isn't even the nut with the highest amount of protein either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I’ve always hated almonds. Cashews are good, but my favorites are pecans and walnuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say I hat Almonds but I prefer others like Brazil Nuts or Walnuts myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
