Throughout early human history, people preparing food usually stuffed vegetables and grains into voids in animal’s bodies, once the organs were no longer there. This was an effective way to prepare more than one kind of food in one cooking. Needless to say, as we can attest today, such method added more flavor to regular meat. Our diets have changed since, and some people have developed preferences that require them to avoid eating dairy or meat. Fortunately, you can still enjoy some meals where on kind of food is stuffed into another.
