I assume Denmark considers US ghost pepper hot sauce producers terrorist cells?
- FlyingSnake 2y agoAren’t ghost peppers Indian? Nitpick aside, they’re legit weapon grade stuff: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_grenade https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_grenade
- huhtenberg 2y agoThey indeed are - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_pepper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_pepper Ha, what do you know! I was dead sure that they were bred by that crazy mad dude from Carolina, Ed Currie, but apparently he just improved on nature's existing work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Currie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Currie

- defrost 2y agoDanes (not all) will happily dig in to fermented fish variations like Surströmming though: A newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe, the Japanese kusaya or the Icelandic hákarl. ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstr%C3%B6mming so it's a case of dancing with the devil you know.
- Symbiote 2y agoThat's a Swedish food. It's generally not sold in Denmark, and Danes do not eat it. There is no tradition of eating fermented fish in Denmark. Pickled (not fermented!) herring is common.
- kawsper 2y agoSurströmming is not a danish thing, and I don't think we have a huge tradition or kitchen for fermented fish, it's a thing at the Faroese Islands, part of the Kingdom of Denmark. It's mostly a swedish thing, and it's also my understanding that surströmming is a very northern Sweden kind of thing, so not common for southerners of Sweden either (which you might classify Denmark as, depending on your optics ;)).
- defrost 2y ago> Surströmming is not a danish thing Indeed. If you read carefully you'll note that not only was that not claimed a link was provided that identified Surströmming as a Swedish dish. That said, I've eaten it in Denmark and am friends with a crowd of ex-pat Danes who all seem to enjoy fermented fish dishes and all manner of other "crazy European" (I'm Australian, so ...) food. There's no claim here that all Danes love fermented fish, just the assertion that they've felt the need to ban | recall tins of rancid fish - just peppers of exceptional spice.
