The middle picture looks quite tasty, even though knowing what it is I wouldn’t try it

I still remember when you sent me a can of that foul filth…it was leaking, the smell was terrible and to this day I have no idea how it managed to get through international mail to me.
Oh sure, customs at the post offices always ask if you’re mailing anything hazardous, batteries, paints, etc…but how do they let that Swedish biological warfare in the mail?
The Danes are righteous in their cause to rid the world of everything Swedish

You are a disgrace to every hobgoblin!
That’s the good of a God!
Disappointed
in you!
Joking aside, I’m even way too Italian for even dream (nightmare) of eat such a delicacy

The various Mediterranean peoples have their own “delicacies” to enjoy.
Maybe take a little trip to Sardinia for this choice morsel? It’s probably a little closer than your nearest vendor of surströmming and probably scratches the same itch?

I known it very well. Kill it with fire.
The soft part of the cheese is what worms pooped in the chreese itself.
People literally eating worm shit. NO. JUST NO.

Yeah I was offered this on holiday but politely declined for some strange reason. I guess I’m just not adventurous lol.
Still not the worst local dish I’ve been offered on holiday though.
EDIT: Typo

Haha! I did check off the list of things not allowed to be sent abroad, such as spray paints, but there was nothing about food. I also saw online shops which specialized in shipping exotic food abroad, including surströmming. Later, when I mentioned to my mother that I sent a can to you, she recoiled and said that it was illegal to ship food.
Either the rules have changed since she worked in the Swedish postal service two decades ago, or the rules about food was hidden somewhere else for some bureaucratic reason and I am technically an international criminal for sending you a mighty fine Swedish bio-weapon.

I think Nurgle wanted me to eat it tbh, but fortunately Hashut wanted me to eat rare steak instead.

People certainly CLAIM they eat it when tourists are around. It’s still not as disgusting as balut, which I almost ate accidentally in Caloocan.
(I was originally intending to link a description of balut, but it’s genuinely so disgusting that I decided not to for the sake of the squeamish. Look it up if you want to know, but I’d recommend not doing it while eating.)

Humans. Or at least their factories.
You boil the berries and get a nice drink. It can be mixed with milk and other things. The unmixed stuff is popular warmed during winter when skiing. There are cranes out of walls connected to buckets full of hot blueberry soup at the ski race Vasaloppet in February. The thicker variant is called blueberry cream, which is eaten together with milk by spoon.
You can also boil cherries with sugar and get spittie-soup, which you eat with a spoon and constantly have to spit out cherry stones. This is homebrew stuff and not sold in any store.
If I’m reading you right, we’d call that juice in English.

Maybe like a smoothie consistency?
Road trip to Scandinavia to try it! I’ve seen Midsommar, I know what they like.

Yes, something toward a smoothie consistency. A little thicker. Juice have a looser consistency than blueberry soup. There is also bluberry juice and the more common lingonberry juice. Coulis sounds similar.
Ah, you know what we like then! A big flowery phallus wainly disguised as a cross stuck into Mother Earth, around which people will dance and leap like frogs and sing silly songs before drinking their heads off on snaps. It’s not really Scandinavian without silly humour or phalli, check our Bronze Age petroglyphs for confirmation. Midsommar have both big phallus and silly humour.
By the way, my father started his carpentry firm the same year I was born, and his distinct company marking is a wooden phallus hanging between the “legs” of the roof. This small house type will serve as an example. Other companies know us instantly from this.
Speaking of which, I once followed a Lithuanian carpenter up into the mountains for a job. On the way there is a house around Mora or Orsa where the owners have put out a red wooden goat. As we drove past, he went silent and his head swivelled around as his staring eyes followed the wooden goat. Then he exclaimed in English as if he could not believe his eyes: “The goat has a dick!” And swore in Swedish: “Fy fan för svenskar!” (Roughly translated: “Bloody devil for Swedes!”)
The above anecdote may be of interest for @MichaelX , @Bloodbeard , @forgefire , @MadHatter , @denelian5 , @Fuggit_Khan and others. Heathen customs.
Sorry for derailing. We could break this side-track out and join with the Scandinavian sibling rivalry thread, or make a new one. I just don’t know how to do it yet in Discourse. I must be missing something. Wise @Oxymandias of the Beastman hooves, pretty please help? Or please explain in PM so you don’t get called on again.

A wooden phallus?
Ha!
We have those everywhere here in Thailand, they’re considered to bring good luck and adorn numerous businesses and homes. I’ve even seen them on key chains and on the hoods of cars. And pouring whiskey on the wooden phallus supposedly gives a bit more bang for your buck, so to speak.

Not surprising all these people are fascinated with ornamental phallus especially, when you consider the root of the word in English.

Make one think of ancient Roman towns where phallus sculptures would point towards brothels - amazing
And no. I’m not making a “phallic sculpture” splinter thread
