Eat like your Grandpa - Tinned fish and potted meat appreciation…

[ötzi]

I was down there (at Portugalia) yesterday with my son, bought some olive oil, some olives, some bread and a couple of cans of conservas just to try them but haven't done so yet. We sat and had a couple espressos and pastels de nata (little custard-filled tarts with cinnamon), it was cool.

I was gonna take a pic of the bacalhau room but I left my phone in the car. They also have huge bins of taro root, but wtf do you do with taro root? Also I've never seen frozen seafood like they have in that place, it's crazy.

Huh. I guess it's all the Azoreans (there's a lot around here) who eat it. They must love it, the store has a metric shit ton of it. Looks kinda like horseradish root but not as long and tapered, more kinda blocky. I should try cooking with it. That and bacalhau.

You can do anything with it you can do with potatoes. Cut thin and fried like french fries it makes great chips. Just make sure it's 100% cooked otherwise it's kinda toxic.

[ötzi]

How do you know it's 100% cooked, would be my follow-up question I guess.

[Timberridge]

You'll just have to trust the Azoreans when they put a steaming pile of it on your plate.

[ötzi]

Fun fact, the older Azoreans are mostly a bunch of draft dodgers. they didn't want to fight in the Portuguese Colonial War, which was going on at the same time as Vietnam for us. So our guys fled to Canada and the Azoreans fled here. But I guess I'd let a draft dodger cook taro root for me.

I think Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner fought in that one…

Any bets on how long I’ll last at the 4 seasons bar?

I love that the label clarifies "Does not contain cock". And here they were getting my hopes up.

I was just poking around there and they have a ton of cool stuff on that site, mostly Finnish but also military surplus from all over, at pretty reasonable prices.

I've seen their ads for a while but mostly aimed at backpacks and surplus gear. Of course fish cocks would be the thing that might get me to buy one.

That's the most casual writing from a Finnish person I think I've ever read. And as I've been looking into a Savo 650 recently, it's good to know this part:

Foreign people might wonder why the excellent delicacy is called fish cock and, well, it's a wonder for us too, since this food originally comes from Savo, a remote location in the middle of Finland known for inbreeding and incapacity to form sentences that mean anything. In Savo, fish cock means food and flying fish cock a train.

Because it's healthy AND it tastes good, this food resembles much like a situation where you are enjoying your beer in a bar and a pretty young girl comes up to you and asks if you would like to go to her place for some good times. A deal too good to be true. Except with this food delicacy, there is no hidden cock included.

Aside from the funny description. This might be the first thing you heathens have posted that I really really want to eat.
Rye crusted smoked salmon!
The perfect pocket meat.

OMG.

You must video. I know not a soul that survived the challenge.

FYI. Might want to do that outdoors. For the smell. And the vomit.

Godspeed brave soldier.

[ötzi]

oh, Dude. Nah.

[Art Shirk]

Was going to open it Xmas dinner and ruin everyone's night but we all got COVID so we have rescheduled for end of month. I will video the circus.

Any of you lose your sense of smell? Might be a good way to do an evaluation of who can actually smell.
