Did the people in question not eat the food in question because: - it hadn't been introduced into their part of the world yet (e.g. potatoes in Europe pre-1492)? - it is a manmade product that hadn't been invented yet? - it is a product of human agriculture that hadn't been bred into existence yet? - the people didn't realize that it was edible? - they were forbidden to eat it by some religious or cultural law? | ||

OK - so there is a thought that humans used to eat a certain kind of animal? but actually humans did not actually eat that animal? and the relevant animals are reptiles? dinosaurs? is the scrund based around the misconception that people were on the earth at the same time as dinosaurs? and used to hunt them? (as sometimes seen in movies) where actually dinosaurs died out long before people evolved? | ||

So these egg-laying legless animals did not exist in Europe in some previous period? or did exist only in some parts of Europe? Do they exist now in Europe? Have they been brought to Europe by humans? Are they extinct now? Do they live only in zoos? Could these animals (perhaps not in exact biological taxonomy, but from their shape) be classified as worms? slow-worms, maybe? or snails? slugs? | ||

So the scrund is that people in Europe? during some period in history? used to eat worms? but actually they could not have done? because the worms were not available to them? though they have been there all the time? Are we looking for a particular species of worm? for people of a particular social class? of a particular religion? of a particular country or cultural background? the city of Worms relevant?

Well, if it weren't for Sundowner's lateral leap, it might have taken longer. The first I heard about the Diet of Worms was in my 11th grade history class, wherein I was taught what it actually was. Of course, I no longer remember what it actually was, but I do remember that it has a silly-sounding name. Similarly for Count Camillo Cavour. | ||

I think the Diet of Worms had something to do with the Reformation, but, like Sam Cooke, I don't know much about history. |
