Hmmm...I much prefer my shark fresh, cut into steaks and grilled. But to each his own.

read the url.

you cannot eat this type of shark, unless your ferment it, because otherwise it's poisonous.

so. food. iceland. survive. else not.
 
Only Scandinavians would catch the toxic sharks and say: "hmm.....I wonder what disgusting process we'll have to use to make this edible?" instead of just throwing the damn things back and fishing for something edible when fresh. Lots of shoreline in that part of the world.....but I think the sunless winters have caused some very strange thought processes.

Sorry to hear about your possible layoff, B-mod. Of course with your mad skillz, you should be re-employed in short order.

I think Iceland alone would imply "else not" for me even without poisonous sharks.



Hope the job thing works out in your favor.
 
right now it's something like 27dF here.

in iceland it's 25 to 60 dF min/max for the year.

while New England sometimes seess -40 dF or so, even -50 on the flats, and -80 on the mountain... plus highs to 105 dF... wow...

one could get used to certain temp ranges.

when you are hungry... and you're tired of pony, well...

salmon. herring. blue ling. cod. tusk. there's more, but really, you exploit what you can.

there are hardy sheep, and goats. not very many cows. geese. other fowls.

they also eat seal, whale (minke), puffin, and some other birds.

despite all that, and probably 1/3 of days have sunlight, it's interesting country.

i could see buying into a property, pony, farm... it will take decades, and centuries to grow trees, but it's a good place to visit.

Very cute pup, Jerry. My girls are wanting a dog something fierce. My younger (10 years old) daughter said one of the reasons she likes going to the Gathering (we were at the Northeast last weekend for the third time) is that she gets to hang with everyone's dogs. She was chillin' with Jeremy & Amanda's dog, Becker.....and she totally put the hex on one of trailbum's dogs, Scout. Every time she stopped petting him he was pawing at her to come back and keep going. How old is he/she?

Ha-ha It sounds like she definitely made a friend. Thanks! She is a 6 week old Pit Bull Terrier.

Bah. Caraway seeds? Greg, there's nothing like a good sauerkraut fart to dutch oven the missus with in the morning. Especially when you've munched a load of weiss wurst with it..

..And why are we avoiding bladite? I must have missed something.

The question I think you were looking to ask dear Dunk is, why are we NOT avoiding Bladite?

I reckon the process went like this Mike:

"Don't eat that. Check it, Björns throwing his hole up"
"Oh. Ok. Hmm. Think I might bury the rest of that horrible shark just here.. <dig dig dig, roll, squish, dig dig dig>

<12wks later>

"Damn it Sven, I'm so hungry, I could eat the butthole out of a low flying albatross"
"Well, looky what I found. A filthy disgusting rotting shark carcass"
"Yum! Hang on, wait. Did you piss on this?"
"No!"
"YUM!! <munch munch> Urgh! This tastes <munch munch> terrible. I don't think <munch munch> I can eat much <munch munch> more of this <munch munch munch> Where's that fermented potato water grot. I need to wash it down"

Bladite. New business venture idea for you.

"NEW! Bladites Holzhausen and Hákarl! When you simply MUST eat a pile of rotting shark sitting atop a pile of rotting wood!"

I only have trouble when posting from my phone sometimes.

Looks like a BK2 on last night's episode of Naked and Afraid.
 
I posted a rather lengthy post about this past weekends hiking trip. Every time I pushed the send button it told me the server was offline. Tried it several different times, but once I deleted everything I typed, it takes everything else just fine. Wierd.
 
I hate when that happens :( especially when its long and you attach all the pictures. The auto-save has saved my but numerous times!
