Oh man I'm laughing so hard. I live in Romania and a couple of years ago we went for a holiday in a small town. The hotel we stayed at was very bad, old, not the cleanest. (Not by choice, it was a price for some raffle) At their restaurant they attempted to translate the menu to English and for one dish they wrote soup with crap (instead of carp). They also wrote potato foam instead of mashed potatoes. There were more but I can't remember, worst hotel i stayed at but it's funny to think back
Hi, the fish is good, but it depends where it is raised, if its raised in a muddy water, than the taste of the fish is muddy :D . By the way, nice videos you have :D
I absolutely love this series. The great thing about it is that you utilize the products as you see fit which is what more people should do to sustain themselves. I’ve been checking out the conserva.de products. We’re not doomsday preppers but are always prepared if we had to be. I know this is an older video but just stumbled into your channel and now faithfully watch a couple everyday. Thanks.
One of the things I love/hate about your channel is that I often click videos out of morbid curiosity, end up learning something, and then become annoyingly keen on finding and trying the featured product for myself. I've bought three "weird" canned products thanks to this series so far and enjoyed every single one of them, which really doesn't lessen my desire to hunt down and try new things. If only it wasn't so difficult/expensive to source certain products from different countries!
Let's cast a little light here. There is a common between two cousins from Cyprinidae family Carassius Carassius (Caras in Romanian, Crucian Carp in English) and Cyprinius Carpo (Crap in Romanian, Carp in English). In the first year, they are barely distinguishable and it takes a good fisherman to make the difference. Carassius Carassius it is omnivorous and an active fish, very clean, sweet and lean meat, indifferent of its age. In the first year, the Carp it is also omnivorous (probably because has to compete with the other Cyprinidae) and can be often baited with red or white worms. As it ages, the Carp changes its diet, becoming a phytophagus and a bottom feeder. Still the main bait it is polenta or corn seeds or even sunflower flavoured bread. The carp it's being considered edible until the fourth year - after that it becomes too fat. The favourite Romanian way to serve it is crispy fried with polenta (mamaliga) and garlic mayonnaise (mujdei). If too fat (too old) it is used to flavour the (sour) fish soups (bors de peste). The reason why the can it was so empty it is because most of the fat has melted in the cooking process. The canned carp isn't among the Romanian favourites, being usually associated with the needy or with the day labourers. It might be used as well in salads or as snacks with white bread (your intuition was correct, @Atomic Shrimp) but isn't considered by any stretch of imagination a delicacy. As a Romanian, I will take it though any time before any Roland or Goya sardines or mackerel fillet. ***** For the not so brilliant ones that find it is funny that Romanians eat crap for carp (or all stupid jokes alike), I kindly remember you that the common name "foot" (same pronunciation, but spelled "fut" in Romanian) it is the vulgar name of sexual intercourse. Imagine how it sounds for a Romanian now something as simple as "four-foot table" ;)

all muddy fishes can be demudded by putting them alive in a bucket or something with clean running water (running veeery slowly unless you are the chief of all the waters or a rich man) for about 2\3 days depending of the muddiness of the water where the fish lived
I used to live in Bavaria, two common fishes which are farmed there are trout and carp and you can usually buy them direct from the farmer. Both are delicious, but carp tastes better, the only disadvantage is it's very bony. Smoked carp is in a league of it's own, if you ever get the chance do try it! You will swear it's ham. Xmas in Poland like most of Europe, celebrates our Redeemer's birthday on Xmas eve. In some households where they can still manage it traditionally, there is a dish made in honour of every disciple, carp features a lot. A very underrated fish here in the west. Other interesting facts include that they can live to well over a century and some become very tame pets.
@@AtomicShrimp Hello Mr. Shrimp! Thank you for your reply. I live in NZ now and smoking foods is a very common thing. We will smoke any fish or meat using smokers available at very reasonable prices from hardware stores. My favourite is to smoke wild mussels (everywhere here!). I have smoked raw salmon also, and it was really good or I totally stuffed it up - LOL! It's an art! Here is a link FYI to a typical smoker we use in NZ: www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/number-8-portable-smoker/p/327522 I don't know if you guys use something like this, but if not, well opportunity beckons!
@@kearneykaktus Yes, there you are, mentioned Poland, though Czech too. With a good bud :D There is also the sweet carrot and fish and so many meals for x-mas
When I was little, I went fishing, and I caught a carp. I was very happy because its a huge fish, so much so that after I pulled it up over the pier, it had actually snapped the line, thankfully just falling to the floor instead of the lake. Carp grown in a muddy lake like that taste very "fishy" and somewhat muddy, but I actually love that "fishy" taste that cheap fish tastes like, so... I ate the whole thing, haha. Carp are an invasive species where I live, so there's no catch limit. You can catch as many as you want.
Have you ever tried Sprats in oil, mr Shrimp? Szprotki w oleju is a Polish and Central-Eastern European classic light lunch food. Usually served with bread, optionally with cream / cottage cheese. I've included the Polish name for Sprats in Oil (Szprot / Szprotki w oleju) in case you'd like to keep an eye out for them at the Baltic supermarket. Also Laurel leaf is the direct word for word translation of Bay leaf from Polish (Liść Laurowy). I am fairly certain Romanian also uses laurel leaf for that particular spice.
"Okay, that's funny. Let's just stop and acknowledge that's funny, and then move on." No...You can bet I'm going to be 95 years old on my deathbed, cackling into the night about "File de Crap"! 🤣
In croatia we usually use carp to make spicy fish stew, or roast it between two sticks over hot coals, never understood why it was coonsidered inedible by americans and brits as it can be very tasty
In the US I’d imagine thats because of the fact its found on the Mississippi, and other brown, or muddy/dirty, waters. The Mississippi certainly isn’t know for being clean. But hey, what do I know.
I don't know if you've ever done surströmming,but I get the feeling that if you did you might be a bit sensible about it and do it the correct way, which wouldn't be as funy. Lol

Carp is commonly eaten for Christmas in Poland. It's a tradition originating from the Communist era when there was simply not much else available. It's been gradually displaced by other fish and other dishes in the recent years.
I get carp in the river behind my house they can get as large as 5 or 6 feet in length. Here is the state we look at them as bottom feeders. Also here we are attempting to get people interested in eating carp to have a way to to limit the Asian carp infestation in our rivers and lakes.
We have them like that here - I believe in countries where they are more commonly eaten, they are caught alive in nets and transferred to a clean pond for a period of time to purge some of their muddy flavour
In Eastern Europe , as a whole , carp is a mainstream fish and eaten without much of a problem. Maybe it's because of the Danube , which might give them a better taste (?) , since it's a huge river and not a muddy pond or small river. But anyways , if you catch them in a muddy pond or something along the lines , you can always let the fish live in clean water for a few weeks and then eat it. Still though , this kind of fish is best served with a strong sauce. Tomato (my favourite) , chilli , garlic , various curries and so on which mask the taste of a bad carp and add a lot of flavour to it.
Maybe the point is that there'll be a way that through trial and error was discovered to bring out more of the distinctive flavours/textures of the food. One would be very lucky to hit on that first few times independently. I think there's plenty of justification for the concept of the "right" way, but the term has such unfashionable authoritative overtones there needs to be a new expression. Best by test?
Could you try pickled eggs, succotash or chow chow? Granted, it tends to come in a jar rather than a can but it's a southern U.S. staple but many southerners find it strange too
I’ve seen this in a local Russian shop, I was wondering if it was crab. Working on the principle of similar letters in the name. Never thought I had all the letters to start with.🤣
Hmmm, looks tasty to me. I have no proclivities when it comes to fish, there’s not a single one I wouldn’t try at least once despite their reputation. Being of Italian lineage and living in the northeast US I’ve had my fair share of cod, as well as local striper and eel, both of which tend to inhabit some less-than-pristine waters. That fishy chili oil looks like a great thing for using to cook with too!
AS: this weird stuff in a can tastes like crap. I quite like it! :) It's rather ironic because the fruit on the plates looks like little purple bums! I hope you have a Merry Christmas, AS!
XD Filet de carpe lolololol oooooohhhh boi! Goog tr says row but yeah right... open it O.O Vrey common and even traditional at xmas in Poland and probably in, yeah, Romania and so on...
How I would use it? As an Asian, I would prepare a garlic ginger soy sauce dipping sauce, and serve it with rice and pickled vegetables, or on a salad or both.
That UPC won't pause long /clear enough to be readable. A lot of this stuff is hard to look up. It would be very expensive to go to the source listed (Baltic Supermarket in Shirley, Southampton). Of course an internet search for a foreign food product returns lots of recipes, in foreign language(s). And file cabinets. And a thumbnail link to this video. I give up.
Anyone who has ever caught a carp knows they don't look like good eating. I think they are muddy and require a whole cleaning process involving washing clean water over the fish for a prolonged period while the fish is still alive.
I'm here a bit late- but I do actually have a question out of curiosity. Is it true that most English doesn't eat fish? I always heard this from cooking show, specifically the UK ones. The chefs sometimes mumbling that its a shame many English don't enjoy fish.
Unfortunately, I live in the United States. And the company, as far as I know, does not ship to us. But, my plan B is to get some spicy olive oil. What kind of flavor did it have?

I wonder if that "ethymology" was someone made a spelling error or heard that wrong and it just stucked there. I'll try to do some research on it. Though it's also possible there is a legit reason for it. Like recently discovered that two west slavic languages have very similar looking and sounding word for "warlus" - "mors" and "mrož" but the ethymology is completely different.
@kiikasi It actually has nothing to do with the language flow, also it was not a word imported from English as your comment would imply. It does still have its origin in the Latin word "carpa", the reason it is "crap" is because it has been adapted from the Bulgarian word for carp, that being "krap". That's because Romania has been under the Austro-Hungarian empire for a time, so it would make sense for some words to stick. Apologies for bothering you if you were not interested.
@@Liezeh You are actually bothering me :) Romanian language is Latin and South slavic languages are formed much later. It is possible an alliteration of course, but Romania was never under the Austrians or Hungarians - Transilvania was one of the Romanian Principates vassalized by the Hungarian kings. I appreciate you want to help, but you make things confusing.
Ultimately, these videos have taught me one thing about brits:
When in doubt, put it on a slice of bread.
Sounds about right! Cheese on toast, sardines on toast, spaghetti hoops on toast, beans on toast, tomatoes on toast, eggs on toast. All yummy!!
Have you heard about a toast sandwich?
Toasted bread is 50% of success.
Absolutely! I must have some old lineage that I do not know about because I like all of the things on toast! I'm american😂
I refuse to move on and will continue giggling about file de crap well into the night.

It does still have its origin in the Latin word "carpa", the reason it is "crap" is because it has been adapted from the Bulgarian word for carp, that being "krap". That's because Romania has been under the Austro-Hungarian empire for a time, so it would make sense for some words to stick. Apologies for bothering you if you were not interested.
@@Liezeh You are actually bothering me :) Romanian language is Latin and South slavic languages are formed much later. It is possible an alliteration of course, but Romania was never under the Austrians or Hungarians - Transilvania was one of the Romanian Principates vassalized by the Hungarian kings. I appreciate you want to help, but you make things confusing.
Do you mean Walrus?
I would have tried it on toast, plain at first, then with hot sauce maybe.
Well there you go; A pleasant piece of crap with a light texture!
also I think it was Spelled crape. Not sure
Not a lot of food in that can.
No can opener???
On the mainland USA there's a fish called *crappie* and we don't have any excuse they're just called that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crappie
I thought your serving choice looked quite tasty.
Now that's a Romanian product XD
