I think, over the course of hominin history, NOT eating something that wasn’t blatently poisonous was the weirder move. My theory is that a lot of texture aversions are recent (and often local). For instance, Japanese natto which are slimy, string, fermented soy beans. Also yamaimo (some kind of tuber) is slimy as hell.
