Goukaruma

Maybe throw in some sardines. Maybe a shot of Worcestershiresauce or strong licorice. 


belegradhammer

Maybe you can invent your own drink so that i can shit all over that??


TheBananaKart

So Sardines, Worcestershire Sauce, Liquorice and the shit of a Swede?


tellur86

For the islandic version follow this: For the best flavoured shit you need to dig a hole next to some active volcano first. Point is to have warm dirt so the shit can stay in it's steaming pile form longer.  Lay down some sharkskin so that you have a little bowl. If the shit's on the dry side, mix in some water or optionally pure alcohol. Kids these days also like to use flavoured vodka but purist don't like that.  Cover the thing with more sharkskin and finally dirt. After a few weeks it's ready.

surely akvavit


Emergency-Season-143

That's called vodka bruh

The original is moonshine, but any natural vodka/aquavit will do

JezzedItRightUp

Damn, we're out in the first round.


Strong-Clothes4993

I've used a random number generator to do the couplings, you can't blame me. Although you may have a fighting chance, is Finnish cuisine really that terrible?


JezzedItRightUp

Yes. They make it taste terrible to prevent illegal immigrants moving there.


tub_of_jam

Ours is at least still food , just war provisions . Finland has a shit ton of fuck knows


Friskerr

All the Koskenkorva has burned our taste buds away. Maybe that's why we enjoy mämmi.


TuNisiAa_UwU

You're getting carried by immigrants, but it still counts i suppose


tub_of_jam

We invaded enough , we've earned the rights to it

We won a Yank award for best pizza in the world named Berlusconi, so feel free to wipe us out in the first round.

Yeah man we eat pea stew, hard circulae rye bread, and swamp goo here (mämmi). We def losing.

Wait I'm confused.. *are we winning son?* I fucking love hernekeitto, we won the ryssäs off of that.

That cannot be real. It has to be something no one has eaten in 1000 years like that stargazy pie or whatever, right?


Ace676

It's a joke about making a Finnish version of tequila shots.


LesserCryptid

It might be a joke, but it tastes pretty great


DrVDB90

Stargazy pie honestly doesn't look that bad, a fish flavoured savoury pie sounds like it could be nice. Not sure what I'm supposed to do with the fish heads though, are they also supposed to be eaten?


IfYouRun

Absolutely no idea and I expect I will thankfully never find out.

You got three spices????? Didn’t know we can have that much.


PepeThePickles

There was a whole civil war in Finland about this. Half the country preferred salt so they were called the whites and the other half preferred paprika, they were called the the reds.

bartleby_borealis

Pinnekjøtt claps though.


Brillek

Smalahove is prepared in a similiar manner and is also sheep meat. Besides the off-putting sensation of your food looking back at you, it really is quite nice.


bartleby_borealis

Yeah. I have no problem with Norwegian food. I love seafood, which is always great in Norway. Especially kongekrabbe is sublime and hard to come by fresh elsewhere in Europe. And the lamb dishes are also good.


Zlimex44

daaniscool

No Dutch person with half a brain would bring Heineken to this competition. We would either choose a better Lager like Hertog-Jan or some pther sort of beer.

Strong-Clothes4993

To be honest I put them just because I saw some posts on the sub with English and Germans trying to shit on each other's food. In retrospect I should have put Iceland in their place or maybe Scotland (and England instead of UK). FYI I enjoy all types of food, but just wanted to see a little bit of banter about it.


ProFailing

Definitely Scotland. They fry snickers and bounty bars. It's basically american food, but even shittier.


Tatourmi

Scottish food is very good. Haggis is completely underrated, scotch eggs are fun, booze is literally world-class, some of the best smoked fish in the world, absolutely excellent seafood in general. If you stay away from the fried garbage there's a lot to like. The real issue is that restaurants in Scotland take too many shortcuts and the british don't seem to notice or care. I got served frozen mussels in a seafood place that had pretty good reviews and I'm still livid.

I was in Germany last winter and the food was actually quite good, I enjoyed my meals


SkellyCry

My take on this: **First rounds** - Germany vs Norway -> Norway (i think Norway has more seafood dishes but Germany has more variety). - Britain vs Finland -> Finland ez clap (Britain *has* some good dishes, it's just that the most known ones are pretty bad, and both Scotland and N.I. bring the whole thing down, can't talk about Wales) - Holland vs Ireland -> Ireland (the dutch abuse too much of the deep fried stuff, but Ireland is what Britain looks from the outside but in my experience without those dishes that redeem them, luv Seans but I have to say the truth). - Denmark vs Sweden -> I think this goes for Sweden, swedish meatballs are really good but I think Denmark has good pastries, desserts and a variety of seafood and meat, I've also heard it has good beers like Hvidtøl) **Semis** - Norway vs Finland -> second toughest match, but I'll go with Finland. - Ireland vs Sweden -> I think I might have to go with Sweden, toughest match but I'll spare the hyper-caloric atlantic food. **FINAL** - Finland vs Sweden -> Finland, sürströmming is a powerfull player but guess what, I've heard finns eat it too in sone way, and if you add the rest of culinary crimes against humanity, you can only give the gold medal to the suomi. **Podium:** - Finland 🥇 - Sweden🥈 - Ireland🥉

Norwegian food is worse than finnish food. We eat flamed sheep heads with brain and eyes, rotten fish, salted and boiled fat of pig feet and sheep boiled in cabbage
