Why are humans considered a delicacy in the Land of Ooo?
During the episode where Jake meets Lady Rainicorn's parents. Misinformation happens and he accidently gives her parents permission to eat Finn. They then attack him in a blind hunger-rage and explain that humans are now extinct and are a delicacy to them.
The question is why? Were they considered that before the mass extinction or because of it? And is it only Rainicorns that like to eat humans, or do other species of Ooo desire the taste of human flesh?
Best Answer
I am assuming that back before the Rainicorn/Dog war, humans wouldn't venture into Rainicorn territory often, because most humans have an animal companion. This companion is usually a dog. Maybe the Rainicorns were low on resources, and the occasional human would be wonderful to them. After the war, humans were extremely scarce around their territory. Like truffles, which are also extremely rare, they were considered a delicacy to the rainicorns.

The very scarce human population in the Land of Ooo can probably be attributed to the Mushroom War, which took place about a thousand years before the present story line and is thought to have involved the excessive use of nuclear weapons.Where did the humans go in Adventure Time?

due to sacrificing her body in order to treat the human race from a virus. Finn was offered to live on the island but Finn decided to go home to Ooo rather than live with the rest of his species.

Quite a lot more than our first estimate, and a more comfortable figure for maintaining a sustainable population. So in conclusion, the total number of humans who made it to Adventure Time's present day is in the ballpark of 20,000 to 200,000.Fern The Human - Adventure Time Explained
