And by prepare, I think you're asking about A. cooking, B. seasoning, and/or C. modifying (e.g., like the monkey you describe). | |
| Jan 18, 2016 at 3:45 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | Though I know how this sounds, it's true: my dog would steal duck eggs and bury them here and there (I sometimes came across them in my garden), and when, according to her own mysterious tastes, the buried duck eggs had reached their peak of "fermentation", she'd unearth them and eat them in the garage (thereby offending our olfactory sensibilities.) That was an animal capable of shopping (there were other kinds of eggs) and preparing food. Short of busting a fire, that's not so different from cooking. I'm sure other animals do similar things. | |

You should accurately define what you mean by any way similar to human cooking. For the moment it is unclear whether you example from episode of Life would be a good answer or not. Maybe you are interested in the use of heat in order to pre-digesting food before consumption.
