Crabs! Oh, sorry.
Sadly, melted butter wasn’t invented yet
OTOH, and luckily, frozen food companies weren’t around to distribute monkfish as imitation crab meat.
Probably canned crab, just like the Native Americans that followed the recipes in Pocahantas Warren’s Pow Wow Chow.
I liked the Pow Wow Chow Mein, myself.
Mmmmm, fusion cuisine.
A few weeks ago I needed a few hours of work done on my car, so I thought I would take the bus downtown and get lunch.
Lady the back of bus was talking to her crabs while rubbing her private parts where they lived.
Probably I should thank her for saving me $20
lol!
Let’s hope she wasn’t on her way to a food service job.
She had names for each of them too.
Neanderthals were the first to eat the caveman diet....
Ever see a fat Neanderthal?
The Earth’s forests were much more dense when Neanderthals were around, making it easier to capture prey and hide. They couldn’t compete with Homo sapiens who were much more lithe and mobile in build. Neanderthals also practiced infanticide on a regular basis seeing babies as another burden.
I KNEW IT, My inlaws are a bunch of neanderthals!
LOL, because they ate crabs means they were more civilized or advanced????
I was at a conference years ago in Baltimore, and I went out to dinner to a crab house with a large group of other attendees from around the nation, none of which had ever eaten crabs before.
Having grown up in Maryland and Virginia catching and eating Blue Crabs, I was all in from the moment the crabs were delivered to the table, smashing the crabs with the mallet, breaking them open then rapaciously eating them, while everyone else who had never eaten crabs before (in that fashion) probably looked at me in amazement, horror, and disgust!
I had a giant mountain of dismembered and smashed crab remains piled in front of me, and the detritus from the ravenously devoured crabs was all over my hands, arms, and probably my face too.
I have no doubt they had me classified as a Neanderthal after watching that display!
Our non shellfish eating friends are not amused. /s
Wait... did anyone ever suggest cavepeople WOULDN’T eat some free source of high-quality meat?
It was a really hungry Neanderthal that ate the first crab.
They couldn’t compete with Homo sapiens who were much more lithe and mobile in build. Neanderthals also practiced infanticide on a regular basis seeing babies as another burden.

Humans, in many cultures, practiced infanticide, and that is well documented, unlike the case for the Neanderthals, unless you interviewed some of them
