I think it plays a part. I actually used to, I used to hate it when I was a kid. I used to think, Oh, why can't I have a normal name? but I look, you're right. I look back now and I think, you know, it kind of works.

To make wild food taste good, just burn the hell out of it

The magic ingredient is burn the hell out of it. You just got to burn the hell out of it... whatever it is, just burn the hell out of it. And it's OK. It kind of baked all that fluid out... just like a burnt sausage.

Charring food can mask offensive flavors and kill bacteria, which is crucial in survival situations.
