YES!

I've heard folks say: Ewe ... I would never eat that!

It is a phrase I will never say. I'll never say I won't eat a rat, for
example. I've never had to, but the time could come.

Fortunately, I was never in a Vietnamese prison camp, but if I had been,
I imagine I would have eaten anything I could get.

One of my uncles was a POW in north korea. He lived on a few fish heads
boiled in a pot of rice for a long time. It was all they gave them, and
damn little of that. He survived. Some didn't.
