Take something perfectly edible, like say an egg, and cover it in a coating made of mixed clay, wood ash, salt, and quicklime, rolling it in rice hulls and then letting it sit for weeks to months before, you know, eating it.

Yes I've heard of this! How did that ever become a thing?

There are a few stories about it, but the most plausible one is that an alkaline lake dried up and someone found an egg (or maybe a batch of eggs) in it and decided to eat it.
