How about some traditional Finnish "cuisine":



Memma is deliciuos! Looks like crap, but really tasty.

It's a traditional dessert made from rye flour, malt, molasses and bitter orange peel. Served with heavy cream or whipped cream. Not too sweet, and very flavorful.

The yearly Calgary Stampede here in Alberta prides itself on disgusting Midway food offerings every year, the scorpion pizza mentioned above generated some buzz last year.

Here's this year's offerings!

Most of it seems pretty alright, with a few notable exceptions:

quote:

Donut Grilled Cheese

Glazed Donut grilled to perfection, with the awesome combination of the sweetness of the donut working in harmony with the savory melty stringy cheese (Beef or chicken)


quote:

Peanut Butter Kabob

Dinner and dessert at the same time! The Peanut Butter Cupboard stacks up this year’s newest deep fried satisfaction: the Cupboard Kabob.

Assembled from the tastiest items in their cupboard, behold: A deep fried peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich sliced into four, served on a stick spaced between 3 deep fried Reese Peanut Butter cups. Yup…you’re gonna need some milk with that.


quote:

Jalapeño Poutine Mini Donut bowl

Tasty cheese curds, smothered in gravy, and topped with spicy jalapeño slices over a bowl of freshly made mini donuts.
(:barf::barf::barf:)


quote:

Cockroach Pizza

If last year’s scorpions were hard to stomach…get ready for this years pizza! This pizza is for the most daring of foodies. Add a little crunch to your pizza topping with a few seasoned insects – if you dare.

Scorpion tastes horrible, if you're putting desert animals on a pizza, you can't go wrong with rattlesnake sausage.

quote:

Shiokara (塩辛?) is a food in Japanese cuisine made from various marine animals that consists of small pieces of meat in a brown viscous paste of the animal's heavily salted, fermented viscera. The raw viscera are mixed with about 10% salt, 30% malted rice, packed in a closed container, and fermented for up to a month. Shiokara is sold in glass or plastic containers.

The flavor is similar in saltiness and fishiness to that of European cured anchovies, but with a different texture. One of the best-known chinmi ("rare tastes"), it is quite strong and is considered something of an acquired taste even for the native Japanese palate. One method of enjoying it is to consume the serving at one gulp and to follow it with a shot of straight whisky.

Pretty sure this is exactly the right place for it.

I can't remember if I've had shiokara, but I probably have. It sounds similar to chanja, and chanja is loving awesome. There's no better snack to go with a beer.

It photographs way better than I thought it would, and this was the most objectionable depiction of it I could find in my limited sleuthing:


It's fermented cod innards. I didn't actually know what it was made of until today.

Steamed potato with butter and squid shiokara.

Shiokara led me to a really interesting set of wiki articles: "chinmi" or, literally translated, "rare tastes." Lots of interesting Japanese dishes that would make most natives squeamish. I would try some of these, because the description reminds me of other weird foods I have tried and loved. Others sound like machismo-fueled LA BEAST challenges....

quote:

Ikanankotsu - Cooked soft bones of squid
Hoya - Sea Pineapple
Funazushi - Authentic funazushi is made from a wild subspecies of goldfish called nigorobuna - Fresh funa are scaled and gutted through their gills keeping the body (and often the roe) of the fish intact. The fish are then packed with salt and aged for a year before being repacked annually in rice for up to four years. The resulting fermented dish may be served sliced thin or used as an ingredient in other dishes.
Shuto - It is made by pickling the entrails of Bonito (katsuo), fermenting them for more than six months, then chopping them up and sometimes adding a mixture of sake, honey, and mirin to them. There is also a Tuna (Maguro) type that has a milder character. The name of the dish means "sake thief" and is derived from the fact that it is a good side dish for sake.
Dorome - a local specialty of Kōchi Prefecture in Japan. In the Tosa dialect, dorome refers to sardine fry 2–3 cm in length. They are eaten fresh, dipped in a sauce made from minced garlic greens, vinegar and miso. It is often served at bars and pubs along with alcohol.
Karasumi - a food product made by salting mullet roe and drying it by the sunlight.

He's now living in Kochi and has posted pictures of the "great food" in Japan. It's KFC and McDonald's

Man, The Japanese do some weird and kind of awesome sounding things with fish.

Makes me sad that I have dumb baby tastebuds and anything slightly fishy makes me feel ill and it'll probably take me forever to get used to fishy stuff :(

Most of those sound allright, and the last two p-hop listed actually sound delicious. The sea pineapple is the only thing on that list that I'd be suspicious about trying, but even that is just because of the appearance, and hey, these fuckers are delicious when prepared correctly so who knows?

For more info, this here is gyromitra esculenta (I think it's known as "brain mushroom" in English??), a mushroom that is deadly poisonous unless thoroughly cooked. It's eaten in soups and stews in some parts of Europe, at least.

wikipedia posted:

Although popular in some districts of the eastern Pyrenees, it is prohibited from sale to the public in Spain. It may be sold fresh in Finland, but it must be accompanied by warnings and instructions on correct preparation.

Although it is still commonly parboiled before preparation, recent evidence suggests that even this procedure may not make the fungus entirely safe, thus raising concerns of risk even when prepared properly.

Morels are really really rare around here, which probably contributes to us eating a lot of said "brain mushroom" in comparison to many other countries. I'd love to taste morels someday!
