Mary Roach Quote
Eating organs, in 1943, could degrade one’s social standing. Americans preferred bland preparations of muscle meat partly because for as long as they could recall, that’s what the upper class ate. So powerful are race- and status-based disgusts that explorers have starved to death rather than eat like the locals. British polar exploration suffered heavily for its mealtime snobbery. The British believed that Eskimo food . . . was beneath a British sailor and certainly unthinkable for a British officer, wrote
