lobsters at times have been considered both expensive delicacies and disgusting \poor mans protein.\ when settlers first arrived in north america, they saw lobsters washed onto shore in piles over two feet high in places. they were so plentiful that they were fed to prisoners and used as fertilizer. then, in the 1800s, canned lobster became popular, making fresh lobster a gourmet food and driving lobster prices up. today, lobster remains a luxury food item.

in norway, eating smalahove, or sheeps head, is a tradition that has changed over time. centuries ago, salted and boiled sheeps head was a simple home - cooked food eaten so that no part of the animal would go to waste. it was often served the last sunday before christmas, with the more desirable parts of the sheep being saved for christmas dinner. nowadays, while some norwegians still serve smalahove for special occasions, others just leave it for tourists who are looking for something authentically norwegian.
which sentence best combines the main, or central, ideas of both texts?
as cultures change, so can their views on foods, like lobster and smalahove.
smalahove and lobsters are traditional foods that are used primarily in holiday celebrations.

Explanation:

Text 1 shows how lobsters' perception changed from "poor man's protein" to a luxury food as culture/society changed. Text 2 shows how smalahove's role changed over time in Norwegian culture. The first option connects both by highlighting cultural change affecting food views. The second is wrong as lobsters aren't mainly for holidays.

Answer:

A. As cultures change, so can their views on foods, like lobster and smalahove.
