Ever since I was a kid, I've wondered who the first human to ever do a given thing was and why only major breakthroughs are recorded in history. For example, the first airplane was built by the Wright brothers. But who was the first human to eat yogurt?
I remember seeing an episode of Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern where he recounted a conversation with a man from some part of Africa. Zimmern was trying to explain cheese to the man and the man was grossed out by the thought of eating old, possibly moldy curds. Zimmern also made the point that culture (not a cheese joke) shapes what people view as food.
I imagine that a lot of people have died in the process of figuring out what is good to eat, or even early scientific principles.
Anyway, how do you imagine the first _____ to have gone down?
