The Inuit (formerly called the derogatory 'Eskimos') have a taste for fermented whale blubber.

The Scandinavians also have a taste for fermented seafood.

There's something about living in freezing weather and developing a taste for semi rotten food.

I'd wager it has something to do with living in a barren wasteland for at least half the year.

When the choice is between starve to death or eat the putrid thing, most people will eat the putrid thing.

I dont think the boyfriend was at risk of starving.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah no I was speaking about the scandinavians, not the bf.

[-] sirjash@feddit.de 11 points 6 months ago

Imagine, there are even millions of people that eat fermented milk!

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

Tasty, tasty fermented milk, both as liquid or solid

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago

So do the Japanese...

Excuse me, but that's only the Swedes! We may have other weird eating habits in Denmark but surströmning ain't one.

[-] ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Gravad laks?...

(Salted and fermented salmon)

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 points 6 months ago

That doesn't count 'cause it's delicious

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Hopefully gravad and not gravid!

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Swede here, can confirm swedes like some of the nastiest mf bs. I don't get it. I just stay clear.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Likely because there aren't a lot of herbs and spices where it's cold and fermentation adds complexity to the flavour.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Til en viss grad. Lutefisk lukter av vellagret kukost.
