1. Kiviak (Greenland)

Kiviak is a dish from Greenland consisting of hundreds of dead auk birds stuffed into the body of a dead seal. The seal is then sealed up to be completely airtight, covered in oil to repel flies and maggots, and then fermented for three months.

Jellied moose nose is a delicacy in Canada and Alaska where a moose nose is cooked in garlic, salt, pickling spices and vinegar and then cooled in a broth to form a jelly like substance.

I'll have another slice of jellied moose nose with my penis fish, please!

Gross. With a large “Ick” factor. No wonder the Founding Fathers warned us of foreign entanglements.

All the Greenlanders are probably saying, “Americans don’t like kiviak? Great, more for us, then!”

Swedish Sylta. My grandmother was Swedish and made this every Christmas.

I love it. My wife, no way José. Must be an acquired taste.
