People eat fermented shark meat and blue cheese neither of which 'seem like food to me'. I'm not sure the great grandma test is particularly useful other than to reinforce one's preexisting notions.

I resisted eating blue cheese for the longest time, based on the reasoning that why would anyone want to eat mold?
Then one time I actually tried some - and it was delicious! Now I love it, which was just another lesson in how stepping outside your pre-existing notions can be beneficial.

Pretty sure my grandma would have consumed a glass of Guinness had it been presented to her ;-)
Try the 'ol "Grandma Test" on it:
If you had served your Grandma (or maybe great-Gramdma) with a glass of fizzy black liquid, that you poured out of a shiny metal container, do you think she would have drunk it?
I mean, honestly, that would be like putting a glass of used engine oil in front of me today and trying to convince me to drink it.
It's clearly not food, and you clearly shouldn't be eating (drinking) it. Your great-Grandma knew it, and your body does too.
