Food (Part 1)
Knowledgeable people say that the taste is similar to an apple beetles, wasps - the pine nuts, caterpillars - for fried bacon. At the hearing quite edible. However, there are things that it is better not to eat.
The biggest dish in the world is roasted camel. He stuffed sheep, which in turn stuffed with chicken, which stuffed with fish, and it is stuffed with eggs. Such a simple enough dish cooked on a Bedouin wedding. I'm shocked.
The oldest soup, which is confirmed by archaeological research, was welded from hippopotamus. This was about 6000 years BC.
Worcestershire sauce
This same dressing is believed made from dissolved fish. This popular condiment in England is made from dissolved anchovies (anchovy). To this end, fish macerated in vinegar to a state of complete dissolution - are also present in the sauce leftover bones, scales and other parts of the fish.
Ice cream on a stick
Recently, in addition to traditional ice cream we have the opportunity to taste the fruit ice lolly, which tastes like a frozen juice. The inventor of this product - Frank Epperson, who in 1905 mixed powdered soda, water and juice, forgetting this mixture on the street. That night in San Francisco, it was freezing, and waking up the next day, "inventor" found that the mixture is hardened with a stick in it, forming a tasty treat. After 18 years, he has patented the product, calling it a Popsicle.

Apple, potatoes, onions
If you cover up your nose, you can not distinguish the taste of apples, potatoes or onions. Scientists have experimented in support of this. Group of volunteers tightly closed their eyes, blocked nose and allowed to try one of these fruits. In most cases, people could not understand what he eats. It's incredible, but this experience shows that the nose plays an important role in shaping the taste of food. Since apple, potatoes and onions are about the same consistency, so the brain can not distinguish between them. You can try to do this experiment at home, but I warn you - as soon as you open your nose, you immediately realize that ate
Bananas
Banana trees are not actually trees and giant grass. The large trunk is the so-called herbal psevdostvolom, which grows a bunch of yellow, green or red bananas. After this psevdostvol dies, and in its place grows a new one. Catch the difference - he was a regular at the trees, the grass at the "disposable." Small bunches of bananas that are sold we are not clusters - this is their small fragments, and the mass of clusters can reach up to 50 kilograms. Bananas we eat special - they are specially bred to have been inside the seeds are not, so you will not be able to grow bananas from purchased. The fruits of wild bananas contain a lot of big stones.

In fact, mushroom ketchup is still possible to buy in the UK and it is considered a natural source of sodium glutamate - the only known substance that stimulates the taste.

The name was soon changed, but Li was a member of the beverage to the 50s of the last century. Interesting myths exist about the name of the drink.
