You ever wonder who was the first to put certain things together? Or do you ever wonder who managed to look at something that tastes disgusting and find just the right way to make it taste wonderful?
For example. Peanut butter and jelly. French fries and ketchup. Seriously, who would have thought at the beginning of time that these things would work.
“Yeah, take some of those nuts over there and smash them. Then take some of that fruit over there and smash it.”
“You just like smashing things.”
“Then take some of that wheat stuff over there and smash it, and then bake it. Spread the nut and fruit stuff on the cooked stuff and voila!”
“Fine. Dig up the roots over there, slice it and drop it into boiling fat. Then smash up some fruit.”
“Again with the smashing.”
“Dip the former into the latter and enjoy.”
“What, no smashing?”
Or who was the guy that figured out how to make chocolate taste good? Have you ever seen the nuts that chocolate comes from? I bet they taste nasty. Even smashed up into a powder it’s not too appetizing.
Makes me wonder what kinds of delicious combinations and preparations await the world of the future. Hopefully, the future is tasty.
