But they make an excellent salad when put on seaweed!​

No, No, you go ahead. Enjoy. Salted sea grass and predigested clams and all.

 

[Resonator]

These are probably all here

Haha yea, but I actually want to know what I'm eating when I try it.

 

[flars]

Soft shell crab. Intriguing that most of the crab can be put on a bun and eaten.

It's lunch time. My cousin caught a beluga whale the other day, now the whole town has some delicious food

Y'all need to try some.


I'll admit, half the reason I posted this is to see your "eewww" reactions. But it is in fact, quite delicious, and this seems to be the appropriate thread to post it to

Is that the blubber? Kinda looks like conch ceviche.

 

[Gavin C]

Looks really fresh. Like the ulu blade @Venari . Is that for filleting the blubber.

Unrelated but from northern climes too

I'd like to try Hákarl (Icelandic rotten shark) just to check the box. It supposed to be bloody awful. An acquired taste to say the least.

 

[Roadliner]

I want to try shark... but I have no interest in it being rotten first.

 

[Venari]

The ulu is a women's knife used for everything from cutting food to cutting skins for making clothing.

It was fresh, caught just a few days ago. Goes great when dipped in soysauce and salt.


That rotten shark looks....like it tastes like igunaq (aged/rotten walrus/whale). I've tried the igunaq, and based on that i'll stay away from the shark.

You have a woman's knife!

[Roadliner]

lol I'm not sure the name still translates properly. Ulu's are fantastic knives to have in the kitchen.

 

[Gavin C]

I'm sold.

I want one.

 

[Roadliner]

Get an ulubowl as well.. makes easy work of herbs.

 

[FloppyKnockers]

Is Kate Upton an acceptable answer?

Never had it. Love to try it.

 

[slym2none]

Women = food?

I mean, I know what you're getting at... but still...

 

[Dixon9717]

Fritada sounds gross to most people but it's actually very delicious. One of my favorite Chamorro dishes. After killing a pig or cow drain the blood and cook it into soup adding various meats and veggies. Doesn't resemble blood in any way when properly cooked.

Nah, that knife is my mother's. I was using an actual knife.

We do the same thing with seal blood. You've never had meat sweats until you've eaten seal meat.

I have never tried sushi, or any raw fish.

I'm from the South. Down here, that's called "bait".

Good sashimi is really hard to beat. Most sushi isn't raw. Give California rolls a shot and work up. It's really very good food.

I found some frozen, ground emu at the store & decided to try it. I bought 2 lbs of it, 1 lb will have nothing added to it so I can taste the unadulterated flavor of the meat; the other I'd like to do something with, just not sure what yet. Seems like somebody here (maybe Revvy?) had some emu meat a while back, but I don't remember hearing how it turned out. So any of you adventurous foodies have an emu recipe or tips you'd care to share?
Regards, GF.

Hunted a ranch a few years back and was told to shoot any emu I saw....saw two. I just boned them out. We chicken fried a batch of it....was ok. The rest wound up being added to a big batch of deer sausage....by mistake....it got thawed out with the venison. That was good sausage, but it always is. Protein is protein in sausage! I wanted to make emu jerky. I hate wasting meat, that said, I would not pay for emu....to me it was just Ok.

I always laugh when i see youtube channels about food/candy tasting and people try finnish salmiakki.

I love it, but most foreigners seem to hate it a lot.

 

[slym2none]

I think a large percentage of Americans just don't like licorice. I know I don't.

Making it salty would not improve my bearing towards it.

[aamcle]

A quality horse steak!

Aamcle

 

[Venari]

@aamcle, you make it sound like you've had low quality horse steak.

If so...where'd you get the horse meat? I'd like to try it.

 

[Kharnynb]

Salmiakki is not licorice, licorice is made from licorice root, salmiakki is ammonium chloride.

it also makes an awesome vodka flavouring

 

[slym2none]

Pardons. I goggled it and it said it was Finnish salty licorice. I am guessing it has a flavour akin to licorice/anise, but only because of that.

 

[Kharnynb]

the ammonium chloride is very very strong flavoured, so the anise flavour that normal licorice has is totally gone.

It's impossible to describe, but totally worth trying at least once if you can get your hands on some. preferably starting with some milder ones instead of going straight for the pure or pepper/chili spiced ones

Confession: World-class and gas-station-class barbecue taste pretty much the same to me. A nice place tends to have better and more-innovative barbecue sauces, better breads if you're getting something sandwich style, and way better sides. The meat is probably worlds apart if your palate is tuned to barbecue, but to a rookie like me it basically all tastes like meat slathered in barbecue sauce.

Real Texas barbecue does NOT have sauce on it....because it doesn't need it. It is also not dried out, tough, or stringy. I allow pickles, onions, peppers, and on occasion simple white bread, Tortilla, or crackers.....if you want sauce, you can go home and get it! We get offended if someone asks for a knife or fork! But....you did get the rookie part right!

 

[slym2none]

Heck, I make NC-style pork butt pulled BBQ that doesn't need sauce. Crazy Eastern NCers demand at least some peppered vinegar, though... makes me mad they won't even try it w/out sauce first.

Real barbeque, anywhere. Not just Texas. BBQ is like beer--at first your fine with the Bud Light, but once you have an epiphany, you'll drive to the ends of the Earth for the "good stuff." Or, you learn how to make it home.
