A lot of it comes from mindset and cultural morays.

When do we discuss survival cannibalism?
One of my hobbies is visiting Native American archeological sites, and quite a few of them have books on what was eaten, with some including recipes. As long as there's someone to identify the plants, that sort of book would be useful.
