Have you tried interacting with other people while in Norway?

Very important to not overcook it or it will be dry. I prefer it cooked bleu. Texture like meat, some say it taste like a mix of beef and liver. I recommend cream sauce for it, with mushrooms if you like. It's very lean.

Norwegians hate that shit

If you want friendliness you go to denmark

Your mom is the only whale I’d put in my mouth.

Listen here motherfucker:
Contrary to the writings of the esteemed Melville, you MUST treat it like meat rather than fish. The flavor can be very good, not very fishy at all. However, whale can be very tough and very sinewy. The best whale I've had was smoked and served at a place in Oslo. You can sear/grill it like you would steak, but again you risk having it be very tough. As I recall, the meat will be very red, even when cooked through, so you can't use that as an indicator of doneness. Braising it would probably be your best option.

>>18652057
>Braising
Absolutely not. Whale is super tender when raw, it's the cooking that makes it though. Quickly sear and eat it bleu, rare or medium rare. Nothing more than medium. It will turn grey when well done, like beef. It will also taste more "whaley" the more you cook it.

>>18651950
ask the japs

>>18651950
no scale counts as shellfish

>>18652057
Don't have the time or equipment to smoke it sadly. But if I manage to get some back to my country, I'll make sure to try it.
>>18651977
This sounds pretty nice. Thanks

She also got me some deer. Any tips?
Was thinking to make a Porto wine sauce.

Good idea. Do it like you would do with beef.

>>18651950
your Norwegian gf will know how to cook proper and you should listen to her. Norwegians have been eating whale for centuries, but do know it is often salted and fermented. Report back your opinion of it afterwards please.

>>18651992
Fuck off we're full

>>18652156
>your Norwegian gf will know how to cook
Norwegian girls can't cook, why do you think he has to cook himself?
>norwegians have been eating whale for centuries, but do know it is often salted and fermented.
It's not, you know nothing.

>>18652156
She is vegetarian and a bad cook. Like most women nowadays desu

>>18652095
>ask the japs
This. If you don't speak Japanese, you could try asking about it on an English-language anime board or something, especially if there's a cooking-interest sub-board on it.

Tell us how you managed to trick a viking qt into dating you, anon

Here's step by step instructions

1. Kill yourself for supporting the whaling industry

did not realize that and thought whale was/is a centuries old source of meat for Norwegians. Will need to investigate. Thanks for letting me know I am wrong and will need to investigate to educate myself.
T. half Norwegian american whom has tried to learn and understand native Norwegian food. my family name is is linked to rasmus, Saint Erasmus, patron Saint of the seas, so I have taken interest if Norwegian seafood/cuisine
again, my apologies for any inaccuracies and I am thankful for your correcting my assumptions both to help me and to prevent erroneous information from being spread (albeit via the internet… kek)

Dig pit, place it in pit, cover with sand. Let it ferment. Enjoy.

>>18652803
not until you kill yourself for growing the third world population

>>18652158
Already lived there and left dummy

>>18652803
Are you against all meat consumption of non-pet animals, or just the ones you find cute/different/special?

>>18652896
shut the fuck up American mutt

>>18652962
Cows aren't going extinct.

I've only had whale at the cantina while in Norway and honestly I'm not a fan. It essentially tastes like a tougher version of beef with a bit of a liver aftertaste. Not really worth the drama, desu.

>>18652974
So you are totally ignorant on the subject yet you ask people to kill themselves based on your uneducated opinion.

Common mink whale has a healthy population that is growing year by year, and is the only whale that Norway hunts for. There's absolutely no danger of extinction.
>>18652979
>It essentially tastes like a tougher version of beef
You probably had it overcooked because whale is as tender as the most tender tenderloin.

>>18652011

This is what Nords say to their gfs on valentine's day.

Believe it or not we met in Omegle while we were both piss drunk during the pandemic. Been dating for about a year now and she is lovely.
No need to "trick" her into liking me

Hello Gen X weirdo.

>She also got me some deer. Any tips?
Meh chopped it to bits like a you are making a cheesesteak and make a deer cheesesteak with lost of American cheese.

I used to have a gf from Norway
She was vegan

>>18655018
>>18652181
Yup. Kind of a shame that they miss on such amazing salmon. More for us I guess

>>18651950
Eat it raw like an animal. That's how most Scandinavians eat meat, it's normal there.

>>18651950
First things first, go back and never return. Secondly, great it like a steak. Butter, garlic, salt and pepper and a bit rosemary. Cook it like a steak.

Btw go back to where you came from, and take your deranged whore with you

>>18655057
Didn't think I was going to see an actual retard today. Score!

>>18652803
Norwegians eat mink whale which is nowhere near going extinct. Go and eat your pink fast food slime you gun-wielding retard

>>18652057
Show a coal to it, and plate it.

>>18652803
bruh, whales have been committing acts of aggression against the pacific peoples for too long and i'm glad ivory trade isn't regulated by you ethical white knights like you're pulling on my crypto

>>18655057
Ok kanye

>>18651950
whale is still eaten because it feeds a village and they are tricked so easily into bays to be slaughtered, but it isn't known to be delicious, whatsoever. It's not sustainable. Nor is it safe due to mercury levels.

Cook it like it's swordfish steak, minimally seasoned or blackened, flavored with grill marks, with lemony aoili, homemade tarter sauce, or remoulade to serve, since it's purchased and then realize it's stupid to ever eat it again. Stick to foal, another dumbass legacy dish to prevent starvation, still served to tourists that keep the industry going. Next you could have some hakarl, rotten shark meat to make sure the peaceful greenland shark goes extinct.

>>18652095
Years of sabotage by those who use the derogatory term "JAP" have destroyed the whale-eating culture in Japan.
Today, only a few old people barely know how to cook whale.

You're talking about grindadráp in Faroe Islands which is completely different from the whaling industry in Norway, not even the same whale species.
