I had actualy been assuming I ate them a fair bit... as a travelling food, in inns, etc. It never occoured to me to even check if they had been invented.So, I just assumed that my character had been doing something unusual all along, and finaly decided to sell the idea.And, for the record, I did this largely to spite the DM... I was getting sick of a lot of things "Not being invented" in his world... The list, currently, includes such things as:Grappling HooksHard Tack (Yes, apparently, there is bread, but no one ever invented the most basic form of bread)Boat Anchors (Yup, no boat anchors, in a world that supposedly has a thriving sea trade)The morter and pestleAnd all of these would be fine, if he was running a low-tech world. But it's not, it's normal DnD tech level. And we only find out about these after the fact...Take the boat anchor example. We had hired the best ship in a fairly major port city to take us somewhere as quick as they could. After a fight in the middle of the sea, we had to stop for a couple days to repair the ship. And we drifted into his next encounter. When we questioned why no one had set the anchor, on a ship of trained sailors, he got that "Oh, carp" look on his face, and replied calmly, "What anchor? I never said anchors exist in my world...". And, I mean, in retrospect, all he would have had to done is say that we were in too deap of water to anchor... Perfectly acceptable. But suddenly, the anchor vanished from his world. So, I sort of snapped, and chose a fairly harmless situation to spite him with. *shrug* Immature? Sure, I guess. Everyone loved it, though... except for the DM.</blockquote>
