A snozzcumber is a unique and rather unpleasant-tasting vegetable that originates from the fantastical world of Giant Country, famously depicted in The BFG by Roald Dahl. Unlike typical vegetables enjoyed by humans, snozzcumbers are known for their particularly nasty flavor.
Characteristics of a Snozzcumber
The snozzcumber is not your average garden variety. It possesses distinct attributes that make it a staple (albeit a disliked one) in the diet of the Big Friendly Giant (BFG).
Here's a quick overview:

Why the BFG Consumes Snozzcumbers
Despite its unappetizing nature, the snozzcumber serves as a primary food source for the BFG. His choice to subsist on this peculiar vegetable highlights his honorable character and moral compass within Giant Country.
The BFG eats snozzcumbers specifically because:
- He is too honorable to consume human beings, unlike the other, more fearsome giants.
- He also refuses to steal vegetables or any other food from human gardens, adhering strictly to a code of conduct that sets him apart.
Thus, the snozzcumber becomes his necessary, if unpleasant, dietary compromise, allowing him to maintain his integrity while surviving in a land where other food sources are either morally objectionable or inaccessible to him without theft.
