Hákarl on Toothpicks

From Iceland, I give you Hákarl!

Here's another recipe for my collection on here. Yes, it does follow the seafood theme, no, I haven't tasted it, nor made it, but I assure you that if you were to try this, well... read on and you'll see what I'm getting at...

Ingredients:

1 Shark

Process:

-behead, and gut shark

-dig a hole in a hill large enough to hold said shark

-place shark in hole

-cover gutless / headless shark with sand and gravel

-once hole is filled in, place large stones on top of site

-go for a 6 to 12 week walkabout

-return to your gutless / headless now reasonably fermented shark in a hole on a hill

-unearth

-cut shark into strips, and hang from your windows, or in a passage where the wind funnels directly into your neighbors property

-overseas vacation - you've got three to six months at this point

-return from your vacation, remove shark from strings and scrape off the brown crust that has formed

-cut into cubes, and stab with toothpicks

Serve to the love of your life!

There you go! Please note - if your hill is of insufficient grade, or you do not let it ferment long enough, you will die of ammonia poisoning. I assume NO responsibility for this!!!!!

My next recipe will be less... time consuming I promise!
