It ain’t bad in gefilte fish.
The dried rats may have been used for traditional medicine.
I don’t buy Campbell’s cream soups any more, because they make my stomach “bubbly.” They’ve been reformulated, and they’re not the same as the original ones. Store brands, and other brands like Progresso or Amy’s, don’t do this to me, so I use those instead.
I’ve had my pond raided by racoons and they take one bite out of a koi (fancy carp) and toss the rest aside. They seem to prefer garbage. Who am I to question their gustatory opinion?
And you think that’d be better?
Maybe not BETTER, just different.
Well, carps/kois live on garbage too, maybe it’s better for the raccoons to live on first hand garbage?
That’s the same way the raccoons eat cherries, plums, and peaches in my yard. It’s like they say, “uh oh, bit something hard, better toss it and try another one”.
I am generally a pretty adventurous eater, but my kryptonite is the unholy trio of root vegetables: parsnips, rutabaga, and turnips. Would I like them now? Who knows, but I still shudder thinking about gagging on them when my mom served them when I was a child.
Years ago I had a recipe for fruitcake which said that after preparing the cake you should wrap it up and put it in the freezer, and every two weeks unwrap it and pour a shot or two of brandy over it “to keep the chill off”.
I second this! I don’t see the point of oysters. It’s like eating rubber bands. I don’t like seafood in general (yes, I’ve tried, but I’ve never convinced myself to like it). My family tradition was oyster stew for breakfast on Christmas morning. 
I’m not sure why we couldn’t have cinnamon rolls or something that tastes good, but I respect tradition. Sometimes we would have fried oysters for lunch on Christmas, too. Now that I’m all grown up, I never have to eat oysters.
I used to have a hipster girlfriend who insisted that certain flowers are edible as/on salads (specifically Nasturtium).
I think “edible” is probably the best word for it, although it’s a bit of a stretch.
The whole nasturtium plant is said to be edible, although my stomach would gurgle for a few minutes after I ate a flower. The leaves are good, although best used as a garnish because they do have a strong flavor.
I’ve never tried dandelion greens, although by the time the buds emerge, the sap gets “milky” and they no longer taste good. The ubiquitous weed purslane is also edible, although it doesn’t have much flavor either. I guess it could be useful if one had no other green vegetables around.
As for raccoons, I used to work with a woman whose husband hunted them and sold the pelts, back when they could get decent money for them. I said, “And then I suppose you have a big cookout afterwards?” She replied, “We don’t like the meat, and we don’t know anyone else who does either, so it gets wasted. We feed it to our dogs.” I told her, “That’s not wasteful!” Plus, the dogs would have eaten certain parts people wouldn’t touch.
For breakfast? 
Our tradition is oyster stew on Christmas eve. Sometimes as the starter, or sometimes as a late small meal at 10 pm before the 11 pm church service. Haven’t had it in years, because I only eat it if I’m at my parents. I’ve never made it myself, and probably never will.
I had the same reaction - they taste like very strong cress, but my stomach was telling me I shouldn’t have eaten that.
Random horticultural nitpick- if you mean the plant with the big yellow/red/purpley flowers, although the common name is nasturtium, the genus name is Tropaeolum (there are multple edible species), so if you mean nasturtium you shouldn’t italicise or capitalise the name, cos it ain’t the scientific name.
It does make a difference in this instance as the genus Nasturtium also exists. Nasturtium officinale is actually watercress so at least you won’t mix it up with something poisonous by getting the names muddled, but still, not the same plant. Watercress flowers are probably edible but they’re tiny and no-one cares.
I like the taste of nasturtium flowers; most edible flowers taste of nothing much, at least they have a flavour.
I have a problem with things that, being composed of two different foods are not in themselves food, for example:
Pizza (food)
and
Pineapple(food)
When together result in an inedible insult to everything that’s holy in this world.
In general anything salty or sour mixed with anything sweet is not kosher and should not be eaten by civilized beings.
I think you might be missing out on some good stuff in the name of civilization and holiness.
Someone has to keep the tide of barbarism at bay!
I Am that Tide.
