Yeah. You can translate the label with your phone and Google lens.
Listen, I enjoy eating most of the traditional foods we have on offer here. But that’s garbage. Get a slice of shark instead from a fishmonger and enjoy that sweet sweet burn.
But yeah, eat that raw.
🤮🤮🤮
Wow, Didn’t even know we had those… looks icky >:(
It’s a great traditional Icelandic hangover remedy. Eat raw in thin slices.
It’s already cooked buddy.
That’s an old picture, 2016.
You don’t eat it.
You put it back on the supermarket shelf or dispose of it somewhere.
I’m a 43 year old Icelandic male and wouldn’t touch it. Have never eaten that and never will unless there’s a literal famine and I need it to survive. Only a few old farts eat this or some weirdos, like probably our former PM and nationalist populist party leader Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson (infamous for eating minced beef raw to show how much he believes in the quality of Icelandic farming).
Edit: Oh and that’s blubber from a fin whale, a whale species which is listed as vulnerable. While the hunting of minke whales, which have a large population, could be considered okay from an animal conservation point of view, killing fin whales is more controversial and really doesn’t serve much of a purpose other than for some rabid nationalists to prove a point. Even if this stuff were tasty I doubt I’d ever buy it personally just based on the ethical factor. The packaging states that this is a product of Hvalur hf which is literally the fanatic whaling company of said rabid nationalists.
Freeze it and lick it like an icicle. It’s the traditional way of the Vikings
Haha, if you insist on eating it at all then yes.
You eat one bite, realize everything you were told about it is correct, and throw it away.
I don’t actually know if it’s eaten raw, sorry.
Hvalur.ehf are criminals. Please don’t support whaling, their population is in steady decline as it is and they dont even taste good. The sour fat is just disgusting and was only eaten back in the day here because we had no fkn food. The meat tastes like beef if you would take a steak, bathe it in fish oil for the night and then cook it the next day. Its just not worth it.
Já.
If you want to try whale you should get a slice of minke meat, it’s quite delicious. That thing however is the sour secretions of Satan’s taint.
Best before 2016, it wasn’t good before it expired…
And yes eat it raw or cooked, either way you are guaranteed what we call being very “bumbult” and spend many hours on the shitter.
