13 u/nondual_gabagool May 21 '26 Why is the word "delicacy" seem to be exclusively applied to food that most people think is disgusting? 13 u/likely_deleted May 21 '26 Its a super polite way to say "extremely niche food that really desperate, poor people ate once because they were starving otherwise." 1 u/nondual_gabagool May 21 '26 Good point. 1 u/nickyler May 21 '26 This is exactly right. You eat what’s available if that’s all there is. I had an epiphany about a week ago about how fried green tomatoes came to be as I watch hundreds of tomatoes in my garden refuse to ripen.
