Sequoia Brussels sprouts are delicious but it’s pretty hard to finish one.

I usually ask people to name a food stuff that hasn’t been genetically manipulated in some way by human hands. You can’t. There really are none. Even non-gmo food stuffs are still selectively bred or clonal species.
Salt.
That’s just an edible rock.
So, not genetically manipulated, then. 🤷♂️
Blackberries have grown wild in Europe for thousands of years. The US ones have been messed with by farmers and scientists, but in the UK they’re pretty much the original deal.
Yeah I was thinking about this recently. Wild blackberries you see all over the place growing like a weed are pretty much the exact same as the ones you see in a shop.
It’s nothing like, say, apples, which have been changed a lot by humans.
Same with lots of berries, like billberries, currants and raspberry.
Wild fish and game come to mind
Fish.
Also macadamias, and lillipilli. And the cabbage tree palm. Warrigal Greens.
Coconuts, I expect.
I am yet to believe the humble blackberry is a cultivar.
Possibly kangaroo meat? Boomers such as the Eastern Grey are pretty unmanipulated, and taste like venison.
But mostly fish. And lobsters/crays/crabs.
