i just noticed.. 3 wks? once saw a tutorial and said abt 2 wks or it would be too salty. most in the mkt in fact are so salty. ive tried the 12-14 days soak and its just fine. here often served with tomatoes, onions and/or half ripe mangoes.

Hahhah :D When you eat couple of those saltballs , you dont need to use any salt for ages(like is it 1g / day which is te recommended amount of getting salt per day or something). But I guess most of us use it much more than that anyway. feels like most of good dishes contain high amounts of salt, fat or sugar XD saltes eggs brouhjt my mind gravlax , salted salmon which I also like very much. Im not so keen on Sushi , but raw salmon goes :)

Up here in far northern Maine (where we have a lot of Acadians -- French Canadians), there is a dish called poutine. It consists of french fries and cheese curds covered with brown gravy.

I haven't had the nerve to try it yet. Sounds completely gross to me.

A lot of people in the area of Pennsylvania where I live love gravy on French fries, I've never tried them. We also have the Pirmanti Brothers famous Sandwich from Pittsburgh, it has, fries, coleslaw, cheese and whatever else you want on it. I guess I still have that little kid in me that can't eat something that isn't visually appealing.

Rakfisk
Rakfisk: Norwegian fish dish made from trout or sometimes char, salted and fermented for two to three months, or even up to a year, then eaten without cooking.

Lutefisk
Lutefisk is a traditional dish of some Nordic countries. It is traditionally part of the Swedish julbord.
It is made from aged stockfish (air-dried whitefish) or dried/salted whitefish (klippfisk) and lye (lut). It is gelatinous in texture. Its name literally means "lye fish".

I've never tried either.

I have tried Lutefisk and like it!!

It is tasty and really fills you up. Any form of sausage will go well with it. Promise! :)

I don't know how unusual this is, but I haven't seen it elsewhere:

Lefse
Lefse is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread. It is made with leftover potatoes, flour, butter, and milk or cream. It is cooked on a griddle. Special tools are used to prepare lefse, including long wooden turning sticks and special rolling pins with deep grooves. (It's normally served with butter, sugar and cinnamon sprinkled between two layers)

I love them, I just use butter and sugar, no cinnamon.

One of my sons love them. They are paper thin and a serving i think is only 3g -). Once he opened a package and started eating-- after wc saw that it is i think 5 servings per pack. Then he acted like oh, how much have i eaten! when 15 g isnt even anything that will fill u up. (Idk there, but here those from korea for ex., are packaged such and some a few more grams only. How lugi, we say, or shortchanged.)
