Right folks, one Icelander made a joke about Hákarl so we're not allowed to ferment or salt stuff anymore. Only frozen meat and vegetables in plastic bags from now on.

Cheese is literally the dried out crusty lactations of baser animals.
the "traditional" food i personally have no respect for is that little songbird the elite tier french aristocrats eat with the napkin over their heads to hide their shame from god.
the ortolan bunting.
major content warning if you look up the "culinary" use. i think many of the most aggressive carnists would not want to partake.
everything about it is "im not just an asshole, i am the king of all the assholes and i revel in it."
The idiotic napkin thing and other rituals like soaking always get me.
Your God is omnipotent and omniscient (that shit goes hard BTW), you can defeat his judgement with a napkin and a technicality? Are you sure?
i don't think ortolan is particularly grosser or crueler than most meat dishes
I read the Wikipedia article, and that is certainly horrific. And you can see from the map how their range through much of France is now non existent
But don't forget how america raises and butchers it's chickens. Something most consumers don't think about for a second when they buy their $4.99 whole cooked birds from costco
Do the French think God has a toddler-level object permanence?
Also, why the fuck do you have to eat it like a cartoon cat eating a fish? Just be normal ffs
Redditors seeing hot dogs and burgers literally made from the parts of animals ppl refuse to eat if they know what it is 
Redditors seeing asian food 
I cant believe I am reading glizzy slander rn
Someone has to eat the garbage that isn't good enough to be dog food
Nah i like hot dogs but they are just as if not more disgusting than any "foreign" food redditors yuck about
Every slave food becomes a delicacy at five star restaurants.
I have nothing to backup my assertation.
But I maintain, throughout history and culture, slave/peasant food, is often the best. Anyone can make really good fresh baked bread, but it tastes the ingenuity of the proletarian class to turn stale bread into French toast. Anyone can Make fresh delicious rice dishes, but it tastes the ingenuity of the proletarian class to turn old stale cooked rice into Delicious fried rice. For a carist, the only way to screw up a filet mignon is to overcook it, but it takes the kind of ingenuity only poverty can incubate, to turn beef brisket into a succulent, fall off the fork, cut of meat.
Some aristocratic fancy lads might enjoy torturing and eating a songbird or force feeding a goose liquor until you can harvest its enlarged liver. But if you want to fill your belly with really delicious food you don't go to the castle, you go to the courtyard.
The best taco meats are lingua and cabeza
Back when my grandfather was alive there was a mexican place near my grandparents that had beef tongue and that was always his go-to. Because there was such a high hispanic population near there the grocery stores started carrying it too which he liked. I could never stand it myself though, at least not the way he'd cook it.
He also had a story about when he was in the army being shipped over seas, the ship's mess was serving that and as he'd tell the story he'd laugh about how many of the other soldiers would turn their noses up at it and he'd happily take it off their hands or trade something for it so he'd end up being the only one of them getting a proper meal.
Probably a cooking issue, because I have never found it to have any weird texture or flavor when I get it from a taquero

Crab and lobster used to be really cheap near the costs where they live before they started being sold to rich people
the source video is a monkey that doesn't want to eat the egg
my dog turns her nose up at watermelon that doesn't make it gross
You got downvoted for using the R word at a lib:
“Racist”
Icelanders get to shit on their own cultural particulars because it’s their culture. Self-deprecation is a distinctly different beast than depreciating others.
They've also got a specific feast day, Þorrablót, to celebrate those old foods. Nobody eats them anymore because they have refrigeration now and all that entails for freshness, but for centuries they were the food of survival in a harsh climate.
Icelanders fool tourists into eating the putrefied shark because it's funny, but they still have a degree of reverence or respect for the cultural background of that food.
you gotta respect people who could survive in rotto-fermented fish and never once thought they should move to balmy scotland or whatever...
It's an interesting history but it kind of boils down to:
- Pagans flee Norway from religious persecution, settle Iceland
- Pagans establish democratic society
- Leaving means falling under jurisdiction of a Christian kingdom
- And life is just as shitty elsewhere
Eventually Iceland converted to Christianity and became a formal territory of Norway and then Denmark later, but at that point the inhabitants had been there for centuries and it was their land and home. Many were too poor to leave regardless, and many owned substantial immovable resources like herds of sheep or horses, or swathes of land.
And then later an Icelandic nationalism movement led to national pride in their identity as Icelanders, not as danish subjects, and that led to an independence movement which eventually led to an independent Iceland.
Funnily, there's an account that when Norwegian settlers got to Iceland there were Scottish missionaries already living there

I agree with this take. Wine is gross peasant food. This is why I only eat hydrogen-5 which decays within 86 yoctoseconds (86 x 10^-24)
Child's play, y'all should try eating losseme particles that dissapear in 8 cadoseconds (8^U)

Struggle food is such a wierd term. Half the people who use it seem to think "struggle food" is the stuff university students eat. People are calling potatoes stuggle food while Im thinking of the stuff you eat when the potatoes are gone. Under the Hawthorne Tree drinking straight cows blood and tree bark stuff.
yeah i dont think anyone who considers potatoes struggle food has ever struggled
i think of dandelions, wild carrots, walnuts, poisonous plants you have to boil thrice to get nutrition from
I hate the stigmatization of simple home cooked meals so much. And that's like half of the the struggle food.
Then there is monstrosities that seem kind of distasteful but not exactly cheap to make.
Eating a wierd fish is literally the same as alleged culturally enforced misogyny
if Middle Eastern states raised their standards of treating women
Western countries should improve their treatment of Middle Eastern women first:
i need everybody to stop using analogies.
Liberals can only view the world through abstractions even if they're talking about the simplest, least demanding scenario ever, because then they can substitute a contrived scenario for whatever dumb shit they want to believe
yeah but you can just be like "the acute risks of fugu aren't worth the calories and japanese culture and cuisine aren't hanging by the thread of fugu" if that's your take instead of whatever the fuck that redditism was.

People complaining about pufferfish probably could not identify safe mushrooms to eat without someone else doing it for them.

Century eggs taste vaguely like soy sauce or something. They are good
I've never had it without congee or tofu. I don't feel like it's a food that you can just full send on its own, but it's an amazing flavor enhancer.

Do you eat pickles?
Century eggs literally just taste like very eggy eggs. I'm not sure why they are so widely disliked. I do realise that most westerners have absolute baby level tastes though
I must confess the term "distinctive urine-like odor" in the Wikipedia article does not appeal to me

Every bullshit country in europe loves to brag about their own peculiar brand of fetid semi-rotten slab of curdled animal milk (PDO), but stuff that non-whites eat is gross and shameful somehow
Normies and their unearned smugness.
No, middle class pig. You're not superior because you live off of corporatized slop like spray cheese and whatever garbage you pick up at Walmart frozen food sections. Get the fuck over yourself.
