I ate it once in Brittany in France. Is it French from origin or is it just because you can eat it?

I really dont know, could very well be something brought from France. But just as likely that we eat it because in the good old days they didnt waste anything edible and it was good enough to keep around. I bet it was eaten in a lot of places that dont eat it now. People seem to quit eating some things as cultures change, even in Louisiana.
