I believe that's candied (sweet preserved) waterchestnut slices. I like those.

Putrid shark? Aaaack :wacko:

Apparently, they're very much a delicacy in Iceland. The Icelandic people eat some unusual things, like sheep's head jelly and ram's testicles.

hey I have eaten that stuff.....I agree AAAAAAACK

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Haha! no cheating..

Yup! you're all almost right..

It's Kalakukko which is a Finnish dish were you wrap up cured and smoked pork with whole riverfish and dill in a bread dough made of rye!

Next!

I'm glad they didn't. :biggrin: By the way, did they bring Lipeäkala (or Lutfisk)

with them to the New World? which is salt cod that has been put in lye to

make it taste nothing and get a slimey gelatinous consistency. Ussually it's consumed as christmas-lunch!

I believe Lipeäkala (or Lutfisk) is pretty popular in MN and they even have an anual festival celebrating it.

I can imagine, The Minnesotanslike that stuff. Here in Sweden we eat Lutfisk (lyefish) as lunch with melted butter, 'tatoes and mustardsauce every christmas eve.. There's bad and not so bad lutfisk. some is quite ok some is quite disgusting, depending on how you've treated it.. but plain boiled salt cod is always better!

You guys are so good at this game that I decided to show my next mystery food at larger than actual size:

What is that?

my two guesses:

1. blue potatoes sliced and fried

2. red or purple cabbage sliced....

Okay, I actually do not know what the heck this is, but I've been told it's food.

The winner will be the one who can provide the botanical name and maybe a link.

Close-up of the Wendy's Chili the finger was found in? :unsure:

Sitting on the fence between gourmet and gourmand, I am probably leaning to the right...

I should've been clearer, but the close-up photo was of blue potato chips. Milagai and petite tete de chou each win a dinner for two at Wendy's Restaurant in San Jose.

Now I'm looking for the botanical name of that thing that breaks apart into kernels. Not a close-up photo... shown at pretty much actual size.
