Hortensia, speaking of lutefisk, said,
The only reason anyone eats it is to be macho.
I ate it because I AM macho. I wouldn't include it on the list. Mildly fishy silver jello. It's the centerpiece at all my apostate gatherings, which probably explains the low attendance. Just me and a coupla Vikings.
Lutefisk was a Viking survival food. Since most of us have some Viking ancestry, it is only appropriate to celebrate our heritage. Another Viking survival food is Hakarl. here's the recipe:
1. Catch a Greenland or Basking shark. These are both large sharks, but the basking shark is by far the larger of the two. Don't be a glutton and take more than you need.
NOTE: The flesh of a Greenland shark is poisonous when fresh. This is due to the presence of the toxin trimethylamine oxide, which, upon digestion, breaks down into trimethylamine, producing effects similar to extreme drunkenness. This can be fixed by boiling with repeated changes of water, drying, or by letting it rot for 6 to 12 weeks.
2. dig a hole on the beach sufficient to bury the shark. When it is buried, put lots of big heavy stones over it to press out the decomposition fluids.
3. Party like it's 1099! Pillage, sack and rape(for 6 to 12 weeks).
4. Dig up your delicacy. Stand upwind from it to avoid the billowing clouds of ammonia gas that are now the shark's closest friend.
5. Cut the shark in big hunks and let it dry for a few more weeks. Begin salivating in anticipation...
6. After a brown crust has formed on the hakarl, it is ready. cut it into 1/2" cubes and wash it down with some Bennivin or Akvavit. skala!
Noteworthy experiences with hakarl:
Chef Anthony Bourdain, who has travelled extensively throughout the world sampling local cuisine for his Travel Channel show No Reservations, has described shark þorramatur as "the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing" he has ever eaten.
Chef Gordon Ramsay, after challenging journalist James May to sample three "delicacies" (Laotian snake whiskey, bull penis, and hakarl), finally vomited after eating hakarl. May's only reaction was "You disappoint me, Ramsay."[1]
On season 2's Iceland episode of Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, Andrew Zimmern described the smell as reminding him of "some of the most horrific things I've ever breathed in my life," but said the taste was not nearly as bad as the smell. Nonetheless, he did note that hákarl was hard core food and not for beginners.
(Much of this information is pre-digested for you from wikipedia)
I saw that episode with Andrew Zimmern yesterday! He had two teeny tiny servings, the second barely stayed down I think!
Chef Gordon Ramsay, after challenging journalist James May to sample three "delicacies" (Laotian snake whiskey, bull penis, and hakarl), finally vomited after eating hakarl. May's only reaction was "You disappoint me, Ramsay."[1]
i actually saw that on tv over here and was sick watching James May. James May is a laid back motoring journanlist, totally unflapable
