Have you ever eaten anything unusual like pig eyes, chicken ears, cow nose, chicken willy, monkey brains etc?
Not knowingly, but I watched something on TV about a man who was cast adrift in a life-boat for months, short of food he was forced to eat the Eyes of the Fish he managed to catch and ate these the last because they were so unpalatable. But after a while he began to like the taste so-much-so that he then ate these last because they were to him at the time a treat. It turns out, after he was rescued that these Fish Eyes contain some nutrients or vitamins that his body (I think it was his Brain) needed to survive and were not available in any other part of the Fish he caught. In essence his Brain played a trick on him it forced him by means of a craving to eat these Fish Eyes in order to survive. We like to think that we are in total control of our bodies but in a sense we only reside in these bodies ie the Brain, and to survive our bodies including our Brain can play all kinds of tricks on us to get what they want to survive even if it means eating what we would consider disgusting food
