Way back in 1575, Queen Elizabeth I of England sat down for a quick meal.Well, not that quick. It was made up of 300 dishes, and took 19 days to cook, present, and eat. Among the items served was "ambergris." This is also known as whale barf (and sometimes, whale poop!).
Why would someone eat this stuff? Because it's rare, and therefore valuable...and therefore, delicious!
Well, it's rare, anyway. Below is a video of a modern re-creation of Elizabeth's marathon meal. (A good shot of ambergris is at about 23 seconds in.)
Wow...is that chef a twit or what?
