If its slimy, you’re cooking it wrong. Heavily salt it and bake it in the oven to draw the liquid out. It should only smell like dick cheese (kukost) before cooking. Afterwards it should smell and taste like slightly caustic fish and be barely palatable if you have it with mashed potato, bacon bits, and mushy peas and wash it down with strong astringent alcoholic drink. It’s pretty rank but by no means the worst Nordic dish. A dubious honour that probably goes to Greenland’s kiviak.
Yeah, people like to shit all over British food, but the truth of the matter is that Nordic food is either just as bland as people say British food is, or it’s just plain grim.
if by “british food” and “nordic food” you mean the stuff people ate in the winter because it’s all they had, then yeah sure it’s grim
but a much more accurate summary of all germanic food is “potatoes, meat, and gravy” which is sufficiently enjoyable that it’s an international staple at IKEA.
what even is the norwegian one? boiled cabbage and meat? it’s like you guys have never heard of lutefisk
Fårikål
The five traditional ingredients are: sheep, cabbage, salt, pepper, and fucking water.
Which, to be fair, is boiled cabbage and meat
Ahh yes lutefisk, or how l like to call it slimy ghost fish goop :S
