Heh. I had lutefisk in Sweden for Christmas a couple of years back. Not really gross per se, just insanely flavorless. It's like eating a texture (and not a very pleasant one). The idea is you smother it in sauce to give it some kind of flavour - my girlfriend's Dad was the only one who made any pretence of actually enjoying it, to me it seemed liek a bizarre Christmas penance ritual.
Surprised lutefisk made the list when surströmming missed out - Google that one for gross Swedish foodstuffs...
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.

I thought I was an adventurous diner - but apparently not. That baby mice wine was the worst, I think.
ReplyDeleteSheep's head for dinner? Delicious. I had one in Kuwait in the mid 1990s.
ReplyDeleteI'd have the sheep's head with no problem. I would eat the maggot foods on a dare. But the others ...
ReplyDeleteWasp maggots at Hokitika. They pop like fish roe and taste like honey. Yummo.
