10. The real answer isn't funny

Escargots was "invented" in the French district of Burgundy because the corrupt leadership was taking everything that even looked like meat away from the peasants. WHY they did this I haven't discovered; they were either trying to starve out the peasants, holding grand feasts, or selling it all to foreign interests. Or all three at the same time; that works too. Anyway, the peasants didn't like the idea of starving to death and started eating anything that appeared even remotely edible.

Frog legs were discovered the same way.

survival pressure

or societal pressure

got to bear on food sources
