When offered an Icelandic Stew of Hákarl .....'chewy, fermented shark's belly, downed with snake whiskey.......I opted to prepare some Viking preserved pork belly stew, instead....

 

The preparation of both the Shark and Pig/or Boar both begin with decapitation, gutting and age-drying, which 'cures' the animals flesh and concentrates that 'bull's penis' texture and lingering 'back of the throat' ammonia taste, mingled with the flavor of rotting Roquefort cheese and a urine-soaked mattresses, retrieved from an under-the-bridge hobo encampment... Rusty spoons and forks, available...just choose 'a clean one'  from the old Spam can, down by the trash burner.

Wash these concoctions down with your choice of these delicious snake whiskeys!
