Are we going to see a side dish of Merganser Duck?
Lerwick Trevor from Running with the cats
Hermit, your cats are not running to ..., they are running away. They heard all about cat roast and such. Trout intestine: give my mother a whole fish, and the part she goes for first is the head, and the eyes. You think I am kidding? I saw a guy stop his chauffeured Mercedes in Kigali, Rwanda, under a lamp post and harvest locusts that had fallen on the ground. Childhood delicacies are never forgotten. I mean, I still like salted fish, particularly schnook, but also cod. The fact that the fare is objectively "poor" is not remembered as such.

About deer oysters: if invited, Hermit, I'll bring my own Rocky Mountain oysters. Do the deer ones taste any different? How are they prepared?

Trollkrem is good, but multekrem( cloudberry cream) is much better. It's a very old tradition in Norway to serve multekrem on Cristmas Eve. Dried and salted mutton such as pinnekj酶tt and fenal氓r have roots long back in time, also dried cod ( t酶rrfisk) and salted ( klippfisk) which the Italiens and Spanish use in bacalao.

Sounds like your off to a great start there Hermit...loads of fun. You know, those wild and wacky Puritans that settled over here in Massachusetts had sumptuary laws too and modesty laws about clothing etc. Of course they also hung witches so I reckon they wouldn't have been too bothered about what I was wearing so much. ;)

cloudberry is fab stuff - also got that from IKEA and also bought it in Norway. we have had pinnekjott and fenaleur at Christmas beside our very good norwegian friend and nieghbour. Brilliant stuff. I have a couple of norske cookery books but so far have made just epple kake and waffler. where are my norske letters on this keyboard? I also have a book on viking food.
