Idiotic commenters would think eating whale poop is beautiful if it was a dish eaten by some village in the middle of nowhere. Did you watch the video? Half the Icelanders said it smelled like piss and had a taste to match. They just eat it because its "tradition". Derp.
the shark was discoverd by an icelandic fisherman in greenland in 1600 somthing,
but the rest off the meals there on the table, is all kinds goodys that gose many many hundrends years back, torchd sheep head,
my older sister eats Cow toung, back when i was a toddler, then my dad had a farm, and his mothere and siblings all eat eya balls toung heart kidny you name it,
nothing got thrown away.horese meat seals, you name it
I've been there, and I've met Hildibrandur, so this made me really happy to see it all again (even though not in person this time). It's an incredible (if slightly smelly) place, definitely worth visiting. I love Iceland, it's an wonderful place with a wonderful culture, and using natural process to make something edible in order to survive is damn clever and should be commended!!
That looks like a great party and it would be interesting to try the shark - I don't think I would want an entire meal, but then again, I don't think anyone has a whole meal of haggis either.
I'm scared to try because of the whole gag reflex thing (I have emetophobia, fear of vomiting), but I think one of the best ways to really understand a culture is to try the food. My family is planning a trip to Iceland within the next couple of years, does anyone have any tips for trying hakarl?
@pogmofoil just expect a really strong taste and do not smell it the smell is sometimes worse then the taste. you could also drink a shot of vodka before eating but of course not everybody wants to drink or should based on age. just remember to expect a strong taste. and don´t put it up to your nose.
But yeah, alot of the shit that I'm talking about is just flat out
disrespect. There's nothing clever about it over here.
I mean people just flat out call you a *insert racial slur*
And it's really hard to get a job if you're of color. Look up Native American reservations. Those places are just fucking sad pitiful stuff
to look at. It breaks my heart that with all this "money and technology" we still got shit like this in my so-called "great country." It's just fucking sickening.
@youaremyoffspring Not all White Americans are ignorant. I happen to be a white boy from North Carolina and I grew up eating raccoon,squirrel,deer,rabbit,etc. I see nothing wrong with using the resources found in your environment. I think the shark in this video would be something interesting to try actually. Don't generalize all whiteys because not all of us are the same.
@youaremyoffspring I'm a southern motherfucking son of a bitch just like you and every other southern motherfucker...but I'm just de-tested by all the dumb bullshit people say! Aren't you on the same page?
@youaremyoffspring It's just going to get worse. I don't believe it is a fault of any race persay. It is the fault of the PARENTS who are raising these idiots who think they're entitled to everything. Most people 18 to 35 wouldn't know how to live off the land if they had to. I'm moving to Southern Florida in a few years with my gf and can't wait to have a year around garden. I also plan on fishing and hunting gators for most of what we eat.
@darkmetaly its ok most people dont have a culture example Americans and dont now about traditions in Mexico whit call those people "tapados" meaning dumb asses whit out culture and they are trolls whit no life
@darkmetaly This is true. People in ancient cultures had to use every resource available, and someone way back when hit on the way to eat the Greenland Shark. Modern people do not realize that in the old days enormous effort was spent just finding enough food to keep oneself and your family alive. Farms yielded slowly. Crops failed. Hunting animals and fishing were all dangerous. Enemy people contested with you for food, and predators wanted to steal the food or eat the human too.
But yeah, people that go, "Ewww that's gross!' Are really immature and need to grow the fuck up.
All those burgers and fried foods they scarf down prolly gross out other people from around the world.
I'm sorry, but not every American is that fucking stupid. They do not represent the open-minded educated demographic that people like me belong to. Sorry for our dumbasses world, we'll try to keep to 'em on a leash. ;)
Oh I ate this stuff once on a trip to Iceland. It was pretty nasty. My dad wouldn't eat any but I had the rest of the bowl. It almost made me sick for dinner...
very interesting. I'm very openminded when it comes to traditions. if they have eaten shark meat for hundreds or thousands of years then i'm sure it cannot be bad for you. the look of the meat is great. but i wouldnt like it if it smelt too much of bleach
what is wrong with some of these people who are commenting hate full things about my peoples traditions. and some of you say why would people have eaten this in the old days. the answer is simple we Icelanders had nothing back then we had to life of the land and the sea around it. we did not waste any part of the animal because it was food that we needed to eat or else we wood have starved to death. so how would you guys like it if I started mocking your traditions and hating on your culture ?
@darkmetaly I, for one, wouldn't care. I measure my own value purely according to my own consciousness / being, not as a sum of people and traditions around me. (Don't get me wrong, I totally agree you would not waste any part of an animal to survive, that's nothing but logical).
@Smonjirez of course you life the way you like to life. but I for one love to learn about different traditions and customs It one of my life passions. now that I think about I should not care what other people think and just enjoy my the customs I like.
@darkmetaly I fully agree with you.. Here in Cyprus we eat strange things too like snails, sun dried meat with oregano, or even soaked in wine and then smoked meat, sun dried octapus, meat stored in pork fat and many else. And the reaon is simple: in the old times there weren't any refrigerators in order to store the meat during hot summer months, preserving food was a way for people to survive.. I heard about leaving cheese to rot but never about sharks, it looked nice when he cut it...
I like trying traditional food of other countries, there are interesting facts about it in almost every country, besides food is an important part of each country's culture! I'm sure that if I come to Philippines I 'll see dishes that I've never imagined before, most interesting for me is the way people used to preserve their food before refrigerators were invented,Cyprus is a small country but with two different cultures (Greek & Turkish side) so there are plenty of things to see and taste!
@darkmetaly Hey, that's very wise and respectful what you said. No offense, until I met some Non-American white folk, I used to think all caucasians were heartless, cultureless spoiled douches.
But only that variety of white people exists in America.
You guys that don't live in dumbfuckistan (America, my stolen land) actually have culture and tradition. I respect that. My brother a native american lives in france and told me the white people there are 50 times nicer than here in the states
@youaremyoffspring exactly my friends mostly are americans whit they mind set on we are the biggest shit but they are not they are just bullies that think they shit don't stink
@jjulianestrada1 Hey, I don't think I truly will belong to the demographic of da American fool.
Because on top of that, I'm Native American like an actual savage Nightwolf style off
Mortal Kombat native. Like full blood, not no half this or, "my grandmother was cherokee!" bullshit. I'm the real deal.
So anytime someone talks about the decadency of Americans, I'm right up there with you foreigners on talking shit about people here. Cause hell! I get treated like a foreigner in my own land!
@darkmetaly its ok most people dont have a culture example Americans and dont now about traditions in Mexico whit call those people "tapados" meaning dumb asses whit out culture and they are trolls whit no life
@darkmetaly You be proud of your traditions sir or ma'am, People will be stupid because they grew up in a world where food is plentiful and they are ungrateful. Don't worry about negative comments.!
@darkmetaly You have a great country and culture to be proud of :) Very progressive, open-minded, friendly people and I look forward to visiting Iceland soon
I would try it just so I can develop my OWN opinion of it. As of now, I'd prefer chinese shark's fin soup since we're talking about edible shark products
@charliesommers494 The only 'Vikings' Americans know about I'm sure.. they were exiled and thus are not Vikings. Anyway they should give the back the money they stole from us!
@sarahdoodles it's likely that it could have been discovered in some sort of short local famine, and a slightly rotten carcass of a shark or small whale would have washed up on a beach and, thinking there was nothing else to eat, ate that and was pleasantly surprised (considering that the rest of their diet would have consisted of stale bread and rotten fish). Fresh shark may have been tried and ended up killing whoever ate it, so they thought "well it was rotten when we found the first one ..."
@HaniiPuppy Yeah if there is something I've learnt from Bizarre foods is that a lot of this random rotton stuff came about as a way for peasant folk to preserve whatever food they have. Still this is one hell of a process to have come up with..and a brace guy who tried it the first time..
@sarahdoodles Simple, someone was starving in iceland and found the rotting carcass of a shark and ate it out of hunger. he told his clan or whatever and it was introduced
@sarahdoodles it was probably eaten because of the smell. the ammonia smell is also present in lutefisk, which is a norwegian fish, and iceland was inhabited by ancient norwegians. just my idea
@TheClarenceter I'm sorry, I was under the impression that Viking raiders from Norway were the ones who ended up populating Iceland. No need to be so so fucking rude. I'm not the only one to make a mistake on the internet. Lighten up, will you?
I tasted this when I was in Iceland at the same place. When you put it in your mouth, for 10 seconds you don't get any taste at all, pretty much like chewing gum. Then, after chewing a bit, you get this FUCKING DISGUSTING ASS TASTE which makes you wish you never put that shit in your mouth.
@karindi1 As I said, human beings... not you. A human being would not use expression as "what the fuck" as one of the first things to say to another human being. You also talk about "Fucking disgusting ass taste"... which indicates you have been eating out of someone's ass, and therefore know the taste of that. Not what a human being does.
Icelandic shark is a delicacy. I fully understand why many people don't like it, and why those who eat fucking ass (like you) will only talk shit.
@TraustiHraunfjord Oh, I guess i'm a moose or another kind of animal, since I clearly can't be a human being, just because I say words like "What the fuck," on Youtube, means i'm not a human. Also, I can say whatever I wan't, so either you shut the "fuck" up, or just man up and respect my opinion on Shark meat. Yup, makes sense. Anyways, I understand that it's a delicacy, but it's taste is just horrible.
@karindi1 Your mother must be very proud of your vocabulary.... no doubt.
Anyway... my kids, a 4 year old daughter and 18 month old son, love the Icelandic shark more than anything else. I live 10.000 km's away from Iceland, so it is not as if I can just buy Icelandic food whenever I want. They love the taste... probably more so than most kids of today ... be that in Iceland or outside the country.
Check my profile and watch the "Icelandic Shark Eater in Peru" video YT /watch?v=_SnvctCgEoo
@karindi1 No argument there :) Thanks for the exchange of words and opinions - and good luck in future food-tasting. After all, life would be pretty boring if everything had the same - or similar taste.
yeah people should stick to their traditions and have fun......i womder why my people stopped doing human sacrifices to the sin? we should of stick to our tradition and had fun lol
@SaosinEngaged It does? Hopfefully that is true. At least I don't have to hide behind a McDonalds dumptster licking deepfrying fat off plastic-ware the same way you do. I go for the real rotten, stinking wonderful shark. Nothing to be ashamed of about that. Feel free to call it arrogance if it makes you feel better.
@poosaypirate The truth hurts... doesn't it? You bigassed hamburger, pizza and donut chewing Americans think you have it all... and when it comes to your hinies, you sure as hell seem to have more than most others... but size isn't all. Shitburger eaters should learn to call their food for what it is. Nothing arrogant about that... it is called "enlightenment". In Iceland we also have "Pissfish"... too good for you to have as well.
@TraustiHraunfjord well , far be it for me to have a circular conversation with a retard or a nationalist chauvinist bigot
please run with a pair of scissors on a rocky road if nothing happens just set yourself on fire and jump off a bridge- it will make Americans go away!! PROMISE!!
@poosaypirate Just keep eating your shitburgers and other artificially produced "foodstuff", and THAT will ensure that the world will not suffer having any "mercans" around in a few generation's time. If you don't believe it, you should have a look at the history of big-assed animals (Dinosaurs)... they got extinct. Mercans have the same big-ass problem (obesity beyond belief). Happy extinction day to you all. The sooner the better.

who the fuck was the person who did that the first time and thought it looked tasty?
sarahdoodles 5 months ago 34
@sarahdoodles it's likely that it could have been discovered in some sort of short local famine, and a slightly rotten carcass of a shark or small whale would have washed up on a beach and, thinking there was nothing else to eat, ate that and was pleasantly surprised (considering that the rest of their diet would have consisted of stale bread and rotten fish). Fresh shark may have been tried and ended up killing whoever ate it, so they thought "well it was rotten when we found the first one ..."

@HaniiPuppy Yeah if there is something I've learnt from Bizarre foods is that a lot of this random rotton stuff came about as a way for peasant folk to preserve whatever food they have. Still this is one hell of a process to have come up with..and a brace guy who tried it the first time..

@sarahdoodles Simple, someone was starving in iceland and found the rotting carcass of a shark and ate it out of hunger. he told his clan or whatever and it was introduced
ClockworkFacility1 3 months ago 16
@sarahdoodles it was probably eaten because of the smell. the ammonia smell is also present in lutefisk, which is a norwegian fish, and iceland was inhabited by ancient norwegians. just my idea

@TheClarenceter I'm sorry, I was under the impression that Viking raiders from Norway were the ones who ended up populating Iceland. No need to be so so fucking rude. I'm not the only one to make a mistake on the internet. Lighten up, will you?

@aurielMoon Yes, and the NORSE were not NORWEGIANS.

I tasted this when I was in Iceland at the same place. When you put it in your mouth, for 10 seconds you don't get any taste at all, pretty much like chewing gum. Then, after chewing a bit, you get this FUCKING DISGUSTING ASS TASTE which makes you wish you never put that shit in your mouth.

TraustiHraunfjord 6 months ago
@TraustiHraunfjord What the fuck does that have to do with human beings? We're talking about shark, a shark that's taste is disgusting...
karindi1 6 months ago
@karindi1 As I said, human beings... not you. A human being would not use expression as "what the fuck" as one of the first things to say to another human being. You also talk about "Fucking disgusting ass taste"... which indicates you have been eating out of someone's ass, and therefore know the taste of that. Not what a human being does.
Icelandic shark is a delicacy. I fully understand why many people don't like it, and why those who eat fucking ass (like you) will only talk shit.
TraustiHraunfjord 6 months ago
@TraustiHraunfjord Oh, I guess i'm a moose or another kind of animal, since I clearly can't be a human being, just because I say words like "What the fuck," on Youtube, means i'm not a human. Also, I can say whatever I wan't, so either you shut the "fuck" up, or just man up and respect my opinion on Shark meat. Yup, makes sense. Anyways, I understand that it's a delicacy, but it's taste is just horrible.
karindi1 6 months ago
@karindi1 Your mother must be very proud of your vocabulary.... no doubt.
Anyway... my kids, a 4 year old daughter and 18 month old son, love the Icelandic shark more than anything else. I live 10.000 km's away from Iceland, so it is not as if I can just buy Icelandic food whenever I want. They love the taste... probably more so than most kids of today ... be that in Iceland or outside the country.

@karindi1 No argument there :) Thanks for the exchange of words and opinions - and good luck in future food-tasting. After all, life would be pretty boring if everything had the same - or similar taste.

Shitburger eaters should learn to call their food for what it is. Nothing arrogant about that... it is called "enlightenment". In Iceland we also have "Pissfish"... too good for you to have as well.

@poosaypirate Just keep eating your shitburgers and other artificially produced "foodstuff", and THAT will ensure that the world will not suffer having any "mercans" around in a few generation's time. If you don't believe it, you should have a look at the history of big-assed animals (Dinosaurs)... they got extinct. Mercans have the same big-ass problem (obesity beyond belief). Happy extinction day to you all. The sooner the better.
