If you read Life, the Universe, and Everything, you learn that said bowl of petunias is one of the many reincarnations of Agrajag, a being whose lives tend to end either at the hands of Arthur Dent, or while Dent is nearby, although it is sheer coincidence (or as Dent puts it, Fate playing silly buggers with him).

In an ironic twist of fate, Douglas Adams played Agrajag in the radio adaptation of Life, the Universe, and Everything, despite the fact that he was dead at the time. They used an audiobook recording of him.

Well of course, if you look into it, they're European in origin.

Bav=Bavarian (Germany)
Pav=Pavlova (after the Russian dancer А́нна Па́влова)
Sav=Saveloy (Alteration of obsolete French cervelat, from Italian cervellato, ultimately from dialectal zervello, brain, from Latin cerebellum, diminutive of cerebrum, brain.)

It's all in the presentation.

And then too, I can't see witchetty grubs or barbecued roo steaks becoming globally-sought-after treats.

I have read LTU&E, but it was a very long time ago. But one simply doesn't forget talking petunias.

Why not? I've had kangaroo. It's just like a tougher form of beef.

If I had to choose between roo and witchetty grubs, I'd take the witchetty grubs. They're tasty, and not tough at all. Some people might find the idea of chowing down on insect larvae a bit of a challenge, though.
