(Speaking as someone who's entire family comes from Iowa-Minnesota-Wisconsin, I can tell you I don't care for Scandinavian cuisine..)

Ooooh. That reminds me...........

I have a jar of Herring Salad in the fridge. YUM!

Cheers mate.

Lol... yea... they do like some odd stuff...

HAHAHAHA

That's actually funny. And btw I have actually tasted one of these Islandic fish specialities: it tastes like S H I T

Surströmming...?

Never again. Not in this life. Maggots and worms, if getting lost in the jungle, okay, at least you taste and feel that they are alive, but before ever approaching a can of Surströmming again, I would prefer to be dead.

Now, herring in cream with dill, that is something different. I kill for it.

Here's a good link by Shu-bi-dua:

Danske sild!

I'll just say I have a preference for the danish variety, and leave it at that.

I don't smell, I might be a little 'sour' sometimes though...

There are more of those comics by that same guy, can't find where though.

Ok here's another one, with Finland.

Unfortunate that I can't make my desktop wallpaper scroll, otherwise I'd use that first post for the backdrop. I think I almost split my side reading through that.

I hope I won't be seen as "bumping" this thread, but I just found it the other day and had to find the artist that made the comics. I also remember someone much earlier in the thread wondering if the artist was kind to the USA, and as it turns out... America gets a raft of sh*t, too...

I linked the image to humon's DeviantArt page because her commentary gives the backstory to the comics' creation.

"No jiggling at all."

Yep, that's America all right.
