Eating Jaws: Food Fit For A Viking

Vikings are madcore hardasses. Seriously I think Vikings should be kicking both pirates and ninjas out the interwebspacethingy. Though, I guess Vikings are a kind of pirate already.

Anyway, Vikings apparently deemed rotted ("fermented") whale blubber from pits as a prized culinary reward for superior battlefield performance. To maintain this long standing tradition modern Icelanders apparently have been known to eat rotten shark fermented in its own urine.

Like cod sperm, Rotten shark drenched in fermented fish urine is where I draw the line in adventurous international cuisine. (Ant's ass, raw cow's liver and locusts, cool, but...).

Eating Skippy

You have missed my Japanese presentation of Kangaroo sushi from a local sushi bar. Kangaroo is really delicious. And is an ideal meat. dataphage has a nice piece on roo-meat (which has yet to receive any name as nice as "venison") and contrary to the comments are not rodents.
The sad thing is that roo is mostly consigned to dog food in Europe. And nobody really seems interested in actually farming them.

Mmmm... television animals. Now I need to do a piece on eating Pooh.

Eating Willy

No, you sick bastards.

Iceland has recommenced commercial whaling. Greenies and animal-lovers are in uproar.

Having tried whale, I can't really say its worth the trouble. Especially for 39 whales a year:

"Icelandic ships will take nine fin whales, an endangered species, and 30 minke whales each year."

Killing endangered species is a shitty idea, and on top of that, will 30 minke whales (okay they are big) really support an entire industry?
