The Click Click Boom segment continued their exploration of the world’s most expensive foods, focusing on some truly bizarre historical delicacies 🍽️. They covered bird’s nest soup made from hardened bird saliva, ambergris (whale intestinal matter) that was used in 1660s English cooking, and black pepper’s historical value as “black gold” worth its weight in currency. The discussion revealed how desperate or adventurous humans have been throughout history when it comes to food, with Matt providing medical insights about certain cannabis strains potentially causing circulation issues that might explain Chewy’s cold feet concerns 🌿.
