A noteworthy Best from my Country
We gave birth to this fella
A noteworthy Worst from my Country:
We killed John Lennon :'(
I'm from 'Merica! F yeah!!!
We save the mother ufking day, yeah!
In America we love "our" FOOTBALL!!!
!
Yet the "globe's" football is still not gaining much popularity here. Will it ever? I don't know.
REAL Football for the win :P
REAL Football for the win :P
And rightfully so. When it comes down to it, football (what we call soccer) is and will always be more relevant to the world than American football ever will be.
Yay, it was made!
Can we post pictures of food now?
Just you wait. A few generations of mexicans and you'll be playing football with the rest of us.
USA. 49 of the states suck. If you don't live in California, your opinion doesn't matter and you're a stick in the mud. SORRY.
Also I take joy in good ol' American fast food chains.

In my country, spiders are intelligent and keep humans at pets. Who's the real animals?

What is this delicacy and… can I haz some Prease?!
I'll trade you with one of Maryland, USA's famous CRAB CAKES!!!!!
So what's the most revolting food item in your country?
We've got caustic and foul smelling fish. Hows about you?
We eat flies like bread here. They're like jelly beans if the hard part was made out of egg shell and the soft part was made out of fly guts.
Now I expect France to retaliate with their cheese.
I never had Chitterlings (Pig intestines), but I often hear a lot of folks express their detest for it:

I imagine your strange spider-nation will be faced with some pretty severe diplomatic sanctions after your cuisine kills all the ambassadors
The most revolting foods? For me it's got to be mämmi. That stuff makes me gag no matter how much cream or sugar is on it.

Oh, they bring some kind of white meat out for the ambassadors. They give them the royal treatment while us pets are lucky to sit down to a warm bowl of flies. Do you know what it's like to eat a bowl full warm flies? They make us eat the bowls, too, which are made from their webs. Sometimes I discuss these issues with my neighbor pets. My friends always make a big fuss about how they're going take arms against our arachnid overlords, and after they leave they show just how half-hearted their dedication is by joining the new government initiative to feed the ambassadors. Our eight-legged leaders call this operation "To Serve Man" but mankind hasn't been doing any better here.
Sometimes I think back to simpler times, before the spiders took over, and wonder what we could have done to prevent this. Cleaning, maybe. We could have buried the nuclear waste instead of piling it in an open pit. We could have dug the pit far away from the spider sanctuary. We could have even tried not to actively throw spiders into the pit for fun. I'm not sure any of this would have helped, though. It was inevitable.
Oh.
I guess my picture got removed for too much awesome?
Damn it.
Fine.
Have another (more suitable?) picture:

At first I wanted to move to Wagomu's country but now I'm kinda terrified that it's in my room.
Well, it´s kinda bad that the rest of the world thinks that Brazil is the "carnaval, soccer, nude womans and beer" happy country, I mean, there´s something more about my country than just that.
Of course, I see the "stereotype", just like the fat American eating ice cream with coke and bacon, or the stupid Portuguese, or the Japanease with the little dick, but, there´s a lot of things that people don´t know about Brazil (like, the fucking capital).
Sometimes I think that Brazil is not important.
About Brazilian food, I guess that people now about Feijoada[hide][/hide]

* Waltzes in with a real swagger
First off, let's talk about fermented shark.
" I read in a book that fresh shark is unsuitable for eating because there is uremic acid in the flesh. This I am inclined to believe, considering that cured shark smells like stagnant urine or ammonia. It has also been claimed that that there is cyanic acid in shark meat. Fresh shark meat is said to have caused people to vomit blood. The curing process removes the acid from the flesh and makes it easier to digest. Connoisseurs of strong cheese generally like cured shark on the first bite. Others find it to be an acquired taste… "
Now why would we eat this? Well Þorrinn comes at a time when the winter is still going strong and by this time the icelanders of old had nothing much to eat at all. So they resorted to well the disgusting stuff. We only eat this stuff to appreciate how good we have it that we can eat stuff like gasp Italian food, and not have to eat sheeps heads like our forefathers.
If you keep in mind that we lived in mud huts and the food was not refrigerated but kept outside or in the ground the processing of the shark starts to make sense:
" Traditional method:
Take one large shark, gut and discard the innards, the cartilage and the head. Cut flesh into large pieces.Wash in running water to get all slime and blood off. Dig a large hole in coarse gravel, preferably down by the sea and far from the nearest inhabited house - this is to make sure the smell doesn't bother anybody. Put in the shark pieces, and press them well together. It's best to do this when the weather is fairly warm (but not hot), as it hastens the curing process. Cover with more gravel and put heavy rocks on top to press down. Leave for 6-7 weeks (in summer) to 2-3 months (in winter). During this time, fluid will drain from the shark flesh, and putrefaction will set in."
A tourist wrote: "Much as I love Iceland when I visit earlier this year, it's responsible for the single most disgusting eating experience I've had in my life. And no, I'm not talking about that sheep's face."
Well then let's talk about that sheep's face. We call it Svið
!
! I don't have much to say about this one, it's a sheeps head… The hair is burned off the head is washed, it's cooked and served! Voila
! Oh! My pizza is here, ahh great pizza, let me put these horrible thoughts to rest.
! Final note, here's what Reykjavík newspaper Grapevine had to say about the shark and the skate:
! " Kæst skata & Kæstur hákarl
The skate and shark are Chondrichthyes, and therefore ferment when allowed to rot, as their urine is distributed through their flesh and goes through a chemical change over time. They are in fact poisonous if eaten before the fermentation process is complete. The skate is fermented by throwing it in a box and letting it lie for three weeks. It is a popular food in certain regions, and considered vital for celebrating Christmas by many Icelanders.Shark is fermented in a similar way. First, they cut it to pieces and allow it to rot for ten weeks. Then the flesh is cut into loops and hung up for an additional six weeks, so as to give it the rough texture we know and love. It is often consumed with Brennivín, as the two make an excellent combo."
At first I wanted to move to Wagomu's country but now I'm kinda terrified that it's in my room.
Sometimes i think Wag is crazier than he's funny. But i figure it'll all pan out over time.

Never heard the brazilians like beer one before. Figured you guys downed some sugary sweet rum or something like that

…Should I feel bad that we also have a dish similar to 'Svið' and that I enjoy it quite a lot? …The eyeballs are awesome and so is the brain... Tongue tastes the best tho….
A goat's head doesn't sound that bad. Besides we all pale in comparision to the chinese people's ability to make food out of anything
You guys and your silly food, this is how food's done.

Ah the traditional Dutch weed soup. With munchie ham
I live in the country of New York, it has about 49 other provinces that like to think they matter.
I also live in New York, we are considered the meanest people in the U.S. (except for southerners)
People believe us East Coasters (in the States) are in general just rude people.
So many Americans.
Am I the only Brit here? Other than RainbowDashie
We don't have any countries where I'm from. Actually, there are only three of us where I'm from.
But the section of land I own is really cool. Big, lots of room and space.
Downside is, it is extremely hot, so I stay in my home with the A.C. on.
@Foxy:

Aren't southerners supposed to be the well-mannered ones. Like a nice old chicken man in a white suit:ninja:
My personal favorite stereotype of New York is that everyone who lives there knows someone who's in the mafia
You just walk out side and boom there's Joe Pesci burying someone

I think Mid westerners are stereotyped to be the friendliest and most well mannered. Southerners are just known for providing good hospitality.

Most Southerners I've met have been pretty rude, but not all of them.
And yeah, I guess that New York stereotype makes sense. Most if the white population in New York is either Italian or has some Italian ancestry.
Are we talking about or countries' typical food? Cool.

That's bigos
! oscypek (it's cheese made from sheep's milk)
! gołąbki (despite their name, they no pigeon meat is used to made them - "gołąbek" means little pigeon
! flaki, sometimes called "flaczki"
!
barszcz czerwony z uszkami - it is traditionally sarved on Chrismass Eve and it's delitious
!
makowiec, known sometimes are makownik - the black stuff are poppy seeds
!
faworki, also known as chróściki - traditionally served on the last they of carnival
mazurki - traditionally made for Easter. It's very unfortunate I don't have the ones me and my bro decorated, we make very original ones, often shaped as some animals associated with easter or spring.
@Foxy:

I've met both sides. Some nice ones will stop you in the parking lot and will then engage in a 15 minute conversation.
Not to mention that a lot of the ladies use sweet words like "How you doing sugar. You take care baby. Okay honey, have a nice day"
The only rude Southerners that I've encountered (this is not to incline that all rude Southerners are) were racist. One young white guy was mean mugging my dad from a distance and then as he approached us he tried to bump my father's shoulder. Later that day we came across him again (this time he was with his girl)
It was near the exit. They were holding the door for this white family, as they made their way out, the white girlfriend noticed that someone was behind her. She initially held the door open, but then she saw our black faces and let the door slam in my Great Aunt's face.
LOL much love to the good and the bad people of SC

Yeah, there's a lot of racist, white supremacist southerners, I guess it's best to ignore them.

The Swedes and the rest of the germanic mix-up the friendliest? Who would've thunk it
I thought we were the poster child for anti-social

It's getting so bad down south that you can't even hold doors open without risking your clan membership
Nah but seriously that sounds pretty surreal to me

I'll say one thing. You guys sure do know how to make cabbage look delicious
And that my friends is one un-sexy vegetable. It doesn't have the natural swagger Brocolli's got
@wolfwoof:

Compared to about 60 to 100 years ago, the South has made a complete 180! It's just that some of the remnants remain.

Meh, most of that "honey" and "sugar" is frosting on the top.
The deep South and it's superficial niceness can go f*** itself.
