What was the worst tasting food you ever ate?

Was it fermented shark (Hakarl)?

Was it Surströmming?

Was it Casa Marzu cheese?


Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

That does not sound like an appealing meal.

Eating bugs does not sound appealing but I know that in some places, this is typical food.

The only thing I've had from the list is hakarl. We had it as a starter plate with some breads, cheese, the hakarl, and  dried cod. Both Megan and I found the cod to be worse than the hakarl.

Texture wise we would have been better off with a linoleum floor tile than the cod. The hakarl was just cubed fish in a bowl on toothpicks.

Flavour wise, well the cod didn't have much. The hakarl, while a little unpleasant (the ammonia bit) wasn't the nightmare it's made out to be.

Hugs, Devlyn

If I have any chance to visit Iceland, my priority is to taste hakarl with brennivin. I expect that hakarl will be addictive once I try it.

We have a similar, traditional one here in S. Korea: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/15/world/asia/hongeo-south-koreas-smelliest-food.html

A problem is that it is too expensive here compared with other seafood.

Just do it.

Is this kimchi made buried underground in clay pots for fermenting?

Seems to me I saw a MASH TV show rerun where someone thought there were munitions buried, but it was just kimchi.  The show was of the Korean War and a field hospital.

In Korea, they spell it kimchee. Kimchi I believe is a Japanese version. But yeah. Fermented spicy cabbage.

Barbie might know better than I.

Cold crubeens, which are boiled pig's trotters. I'm usually good at saying no, but I had some kind of brain failure that day.

Yes. That is the traditional and effective way of fermenting kimchi. Kimchi (김치) is pronounced 'kimuchi(キムチ)' in Japanese.

Nowadays, most people here ferment kimchi in 'kimchi refrigerator', as it is hard to have ground in apartments and the temperature is critical. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi_refrigerator

We have enough grounds around the house but still have 3 refrigerators, one entirely for preserving and fermenting kimchi for up to 3-5 years.

Hundreds of kimchi recipes are still available in both South and North Korea, but most use cabbage or reddish. I like cucumber kimchi: https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/oisobagi-kimchi
