Icelanders get to shit on their own cultural particulars because it’s their culture. Self-deprecation is a distinctly different beast than depreciating others.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

you gotta respect people who could survive in rotto-fermented fish and never once thought they should move to balmy scotland or whatever...

Funnily, there's an account that when Norwegian settlers got to Iceland there were Scottish missionaries already living there

[–] fox@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

It's an interesting history but it kind of boils down to:

  1. Pagans flee Norway from religious persecution, settle Iceland
  2. Pagans establish democratic society
  3. Leaving means falling under jurisdiction of a Christian kingdom
  4. 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.

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."

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 34 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

Every slave food becomes a delicacy at five star restaurants.

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 28 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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.

i need everybody to stop using analogies.

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If part of a destroying angel was safe to eat if very carefully prepared by an extremely trained specialist chef and so was a prestigious "delicacy" specifically because it was inaccessible without the services of such an expensive expert, that would also not be a good thing. Elite prestige dishes that get their draw from being elite, inaccessible, expensive, and prestigious are bad.

To be fair most of them probably wouldn't eat any of the safe mushrooms either

"Multiculturalism" meets its inevitable fate in the linguistic woodchipper and becomes a denigrating term for anyone who believes in the concept of having any culture.

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.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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

[–] RION@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I must confess the term "distinctive urine-like odor" in the Wikipedia article does not appeal to me

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 15 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

It's just funny considering that Budweiser sells like hotcakes and it both looks and smells like pee

The taste, of course, is somehow worse

That article has been written by some Reddit lib. It has no such odor. I've eaten hundreds of the things.

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.

[–] nickzor@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

I full sent one at work once, would never do that again it tasted so bad. But that was also my first exposure to them and I imagine they're more of an acquired taste.

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.

Cheese is literally the dried out crusty lactations of baser animals.
