    Preface: All seafood makes me violently ill. I wish it weren’t so, but here we are.

    While living in Switzerland we went to an ikea and found what I thought to be spreadable cheese in a toothpaste type tube. For reference lots of stuff over there comes in those types of tubes. Why not cheese?

    I was so excited to get home and immediately tore the cap off and squeezed a giant dollop of what my mouth expected to be something like cheez whiz.

    NOPE. NOPE FUCKING NOPE. It was some kind of fish paste with roe…

    I puked for like 30 minutes straight and couldn’t get that taste out of my mouth until we found some kirsch liqueur that I also hate, but whose taste will overpower anything.

        Oh they have none of the blame! I am a big stupid man who didn’t bother to read it at all.

      This is a staple food in Norway. The Norwegian variant is made with smoked cod roe.

      Think the Swedish variant is some kind of freshwater fish? Can’t imagine IKEA will deliver culinary greatness tho’

      I had that in Norway, and it is the best shit ever. I’d eat that in such vast quantities if it was as cheap and available here as it is in the Nordics.

      Hah ! my dad loves this stuff. Couldn’t ever figure out why. As a child I would get excited seeing a tube of paste in the fridge thinking it might be concentrated milk.
