    Until canned food, refrigerators, freezers, and other ways to preserve foods were invented, people ate lots of things you would never dream of touching today. Often, foods such as cereals and flour got wormy. Other things, such as biscuits, got hard and moldy. Christopher Columbus's sailors waited until dark to eat so they wouldn't see the worms in their porridge. What gross foods can you can think of?
