Not to be overly pedantic, but changing the order of things in the second part of the sentence is really throwing me off by suggesting that donuts are fermented and that there's a beer with fried dough as an ingredient somewhere.

Sadly , I’ve only ever seen beer from friars, not fryers.

Fermentation is just what happens when you accidentally leave stuff in a container that limits oxygen. It's easy to make alcohol my accident. Then there's also the fact than we don't know how well connected the world was before writing. We know farming developed independently from studies of soil in lakes and whatnot but recipes are much harder to pin down as something invented independently.

Not sure about the swords part but the Aztecs didn't any.

Instead of a sword, the Aztecs invented the baseball bat with nails sticking out.

"Eww, this smells nasty and toxic... let's drink/eat it" seems to be a common human trait.

Yeah and then there would he couple of dudes like "Don't worry guys, we'll take one for the team and eat the spoiled fruit again" and go on a major bender without the prude non-spoiled fruit eaters

Fermentation and a ton of other foods had to have just been stumbled upon. Like they just forgot about some food, it went bad, but then someone thought to still eat it and it didn't kill them while also tasting good.
