And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Eating Rotten Shark - Icelanders: Grossing others out for a thousand years.
I believe this is one of those things they just make a small amount of to see if stupid tourists will eat it. I imagine the locals smirking and making bets each time they hear this story about it being a "local delicacy".
Been there; ate that. And yes, it is exponentially worse than you imagine it could be. The only thing that even began to dull the cruelly-lingering putridity in my mouth was brennivin....lots and LOTS of brennivin.
Easily the worst thing I've EVER had in my mouth...and that's sayin' somethin'. Just sayin'.
no. just no. I'd eat my pets first.

DeleteI've tried shark cooked 2 different ways, didn't care for either. Tasted weerd, almost metallic.
