What Is This...I See Before Me

[  Mood: Amused ]

[  Currently: Eating  ]

The more you travel the opportunities present themselves to try different kinds of foods. And this last weekend was no exception.

Most people who know me that I'm one of those people who - when it comes to food - will try anything once ans in my time have eaten cow huff; whale; something akin to a squirel; and sheep testical soup (!) to mention but a few. Well I can now add sometihng new and exotic to my list.

While in the Faeroe Islands one of my culinary ambitions was realised. But before I reveal what it was, let me tell you a little about it...

I was expecting a white meat, when what was presented to me was very dark red. Similar in colour (not texture or taste ) to liver. While chicken is a loose almost stringy meat, this was compact and so had a slight toughness in its texture, though it was not a particularly tough meet. The taste was slightly salty - possihbly as it was from the sea. However, this saltiness did not detract from the mellow rich oakiness which permeated the taste buds with featherlite bursts of flavour.

What was I eating?
