Rotting puffins
Is it true that some nationalities like to take a puffin, bury it till it rots, dig it up and then serve it as a delicacy? (I promise I am not making that up!)

Re: Rotting puffins
Erm...Jo? Why don't you have a little lie-down. :wink: Actually, I looked this up, and the only thing remotely like it has to do with shark in Iceland. One website said: "Hákarl is putrefied shark meat. They bury it in sand and gravel for six months, and then dig it up."

Well hey I was close! :d If they can do it with shark they can do it with puffin, right? ;)

Um...yeah. As I said, maybe it's time for a wee little nap. :wink:

What's a puffin? It's some kind of bird right?

um I suppose so but I would imagine crows would be pretty vile even unrotten so I can't imagine what they would be like after a month or two buried underground...

Somebody would want to eat that? :shock:

How very true! So get your facts right, folks, we wouldn't want anyone following our preparation advice to get it wrong, now would we?! Edit: perhaps we are not googlable yet? Is the board registered with Google?

Hmmm the old one was, but I don't know if this new one would be.
