It all comes down to just how hungry are you. I have heard the worst possible "food" is raw seagull.
Benny had one very memorable moment in my life. I had just started drinking and trying different drinks. I tried a screwdriver, and it was OK. Alabama had state run liquor stores, so literally a small counter, and a few dozen bottles of booze in display cases with a number. So you told the clerk I want a quart of number 32, or whatever. Very limited selection. One of the choices was orange flavored vodka. I figured it was instant screwdriver. It was horrid and I had one spit take, and gave the bottle to Benny. Later I asked him how was that bottle of vodka.
He replied with great wisdom. "It was just right"
I asked him to explain and he said if it was any better, you would have not given it to me, and if it was any worse I could not drink it. This was from a man that drank "green lizard" or the stuff barbers used to clean and sterilize combs and and as hair tonic.
All of that led me to discover that I like beer instead.
