      Another example is birria, a Mexican dish made from stewed goat meat. The name literally translates to “garbage/worthless” and was created out of desperation by the natives.

      Along with other livestock, the conquistadors introduced goats to Mexico, but unlike the other livestock, goats became an invasive species. They bred rapidly and ate everything, including harvests, which worsened famines. So even though goat meat was considered tough, disgusting, and taboo (hence the name) indigenous Mexicans began to eat them for survival.

      Birria is absolutely delicious though. 100/10 food. Fuck the Spanish

        We have a lot of dishes here that are like this because of fr*nch colonialism. Them tasting good is them maxing out a weapon from the worst tier.
