    3:54 Honestly, not even too far off the mark with that! Rye became a huge staple of Finnish diet and culture during the 17th century when temperatures for Finland drastically decreased due to volcanic eruptions (like Huaynaputina). Rye was a lot more resilient as a crop than barley, and Finnish people had to rely on the most bare-bones of food during that time when land abandonment and food production had been at their worse. Some real gut the Finns had for having to eat rye-stuffed fish for centuries.

      As some who grew up and currently lives in Savo, while the basics of that kalakukko looked alright, it was far from "correct". Exactly what was the whitefish they used (traditionally it would have to be vendance or perch and I don't know if either are available fresh in the US). The rye looked too light in colour. And, the most essential point: Kalakukko must be served warm and with butter! It is the law!

    Fun fact on the fermented shark: the reason it exists is because fresh greenland shark is toxic to humans, but the fermentation process makes it edible. And in a geographic location where food is scarce, humans hundreds of years ago used the fermentation so they had one more food source, and it became an acquired taste.

    • @darken27
      @darken27 Месяц назад +70

      The greenland shark is also on the vulnerable species list, due to how long they take to mature, and from overfishing. It's very possible that the dish will be officially banned in our lifetimes, outside of very specific cultural preservation instances.

      I think because of a couple of things. One, he ran out of stuff to do those things with. He's not gonna do that with EVERY possible fast food item. Especially when nobody's going to care about the lesser menu items. Would you seriously bother watching him make a McDonald's salad or a Wendy's wrap "cheaper, faster, and/or better?" That ain't in the cards for clicks.
      Second, a lot of that stuff was SUPER popular in the midst of the pandemic era, where fast food no-contact delivery was expensive. It was also a time for self-discovery; where people would pick up new hobbies, like cooking, to counteract the boredom.
      Third, any RUclips creator is subject, and has the right to, migrate to different topics, depending on how they're feeling. If these videos aren't to your taste anymore, there's no harm in going elsewhere. Not much use in complaining, and expecting the content creator to go back to what YOU liked. Especially if they got burnt out of it.
      TL;DR, if you don't like it, then just leave.

    ABOUT THE LUTFISK: my grandma serves this every Christmas the way her own grandma did it.
    You should eat it with ‘vitsås’, made from cream or butter and milk, sometimes nutmeg but most importantly allspice. The fish tastes nothing, it’s just for texture, when served you add lots of salt, white sauce, boiled potatoes, more allspice and peas.
    No mushy mashy whatever you had on that plate. Just. Peas.

      That's the fun of it. In Sweden, we do it with the vitsås, but Norway has it with the mushy peas, bacon and the sauce has some mustard in it, so its more tangy.

      @vegardt3433 19 дней назад +2

      The quality of the fish itself is also extremely important here. It should not be very jello-y, but relatively firm. If it's too gooey, it hasn't been salted properly before cooking. Also, always smell the fish beforehand. Bad lutefisk can smell rotten, and sometimes also like sewage. If that's the case, throw it away. It has gone bad. I've heard quite a few people claim they don't like it because it smells rotten, and they thought that was what it was supposed to be smelling like. I think people in general don't really know how to prepare the fish properly, and just camouflage poor quality fish with a bunch of bacon and sauce.

    First of all: Lutfisk in Sweden is eaten with white sauce (butter, cream, pepper, wheat flour, milk, salt and pepper) and if you didn't put it in water and pulled out the lye you will eat very not-tasty-fish. It's polarizing for sure but I think the white sauce would help alot.
    So surströmming eaten the right way when?
    No lie, the people in Sweden who eat Surströmming 2-3 times are absolutely crazy in it. There's something in it that seems extremely addicting. I've had it once and ngl, it actually becomes less and less daunting.
    Pro tips:
    - Save the can for a year in the fridge before eating. The extra storage mellows out the flavours instead of just being "strong and sharp".
    - Should be eaten with tunnbröd (a thin wheat bread that's been baked in a woodfired oven. Chose soft or hard), sourcream, red finely chopped onions or chives, butter and boiled almond potatoes. (Make sure the ingredients are of good quality)
    - Make the sandwhich above with small pieces of fish and work your way up. It's a VERY strong taste and the point is to not eat it in large chunks like the morons do for the challenges. Think of it like Garum, the roman fermented fish sauce, in the application. It's a condiment you use for extra flavour. Whoever eats condiments alone should be deemed lunatics. A good comparison would be to chug ketchup and say "wow that's terrible".
    - Open the can in a basin filled with water and poke a hole in it by using a nail that you hit with a hammer. This stops the smell from filling the room and stops it from spurting everywhere. You drain the water and voila, you got rid of the smell and waste water.
    - Have someone who can actually fillet the fish. The innards and the fillets taste completely different but you need to know what you're eating if you're going to eat it.
    - Eat this outside and put the can away from you. It attracts flies and having the waste and can pull the flies away is nice. The fresh air also makes the smell less potent so you get some breathing room when you eat it the first time.
    - TAKE MORE THAN ONE BITE. Surströmming is like drinking a really strange beer. The first taste just overpowers you. It needs to be eaten for a long span of time to make your body not go "what in the actual fuck is this brain putting into me". I would have swedish herring next to you so you can go inbetween but after a while you will notice that the herring will taste like nothing as you get used to the surströmming.
    - Have snaps and beer to drink with it. It's part of the "ritual" and the alcohol numbs your nose a little.

      I had a trini GF, and thus ave been exposed to many iterations of bake and shark. You have to realize how easy it is to make heavy leaden dense flavourless bakes, and then slop a greasy poorly seasoned hunk of poorly trimmed fish on top of it. Badly made Bake and Shark is utterly awful. Well made Bake and Shark is like the best fried fish sandwich on earth. I now make, apparently, the best bake and shark in Canada, but it took a while. Don't ask about my roti, however. Still a work in progress. My chicken curry is pretty good though.

Having a family member make a dish traditionally people don't like is one of those great small things you take for granted in the whole family dynamic.
