Salt fermented fish is not the same as rotten fish!! Fish sauce from Thailand and Vietnam are made of small fishes and plenty of salt left in the sun in big drums. Water + nutrients are extracted from the fish and put in bottles. A delicious condiment for asian foods! The ancient Romans were fond of it too.. It's called "garum" mostly produced in Spain from anchovies and salt..
I’d only heard about dried n salted fish in egypt. Never heard of fermented fish before. Btw, many parts of the world actually eats dried/salted fish, but as a side-dish for the main dish, for example rice in malaysia. N it does taste good. Try it urself if u dont believe me
I hunt tree rats, squirrels, and it’s dove season right now and I’ve eaten woods rats, the meat is very good. A survival book I had in the 1970s pointed out all birds are eatable. Worchestshire sauce is made from fermented fish. Pepperoni and salami are both fermented meats
Wait ALL birds are edible?? So like I’d be okay if I got my hands on a disease infested scavenger bird? Like a vulture would be safe to make a meal out of? I’d have to legit burn the meat until black inside and out before feeling confident all the nasty crap the vulture harbored in it’s body from eating dead rotting animal carcasses
@@kitcatthatsmokescrack7380 it’s not going to be tasty, but think about what a buzzard does for a living. It’s very good at killing bugs in dead meat. This will sound nasty, but look at the feathers around a buzzards neck. Think how dirty these are, but buzzards ain’t sick. Should you get an open wound in the woods, buzzards neck feathers are good anti infection stuffing. Widely used by hunter gatherers for wound treatment, and very good. Any bird should be cooked, but you don’t have to burn it to be safe
If you like Worcestershire sauce you have had fermented fish. Pigeon is good, I haven't tried rat or pelican yet or force fed duck but the wild duck I had was too greasy but that could have been caused by the way it was cooked. never knew people eat hedgehog
Many people today go dove hunting, & eat dove, along with many other birds, you can also order it in restaurants. I was raised by a forester who hunted, & fished as much as possible in Louisiana, so nothing could really revolt me. You should always try it a few times, prepared different ways before you permanently say no.
There was a kid that lived behind me when I was young that would always have his pellet gun and kill doves, squirrels, rabbits, etc. His freezer was full of different stuff. He would collect a bunch then his mom would make dinner with what ever they had the most of. T.N. By the way.

Good fermentetation is great because it pre digests the food and makes it more easily digested by us. The bacteria can also give our own gut bacteria a helping hand. You can also store it for a much longer time.
@@adrianaslund8605 fermentation is such a strange and fascinating concept. 🤔 I can only imagine the amount of trial and error throughout human history to get it right, before germ theory.
@@369Sigma I think people just left food out for too long and they were like. "You know what? I'm gonna eat it."

And people tasted it and we're like "alright it's not horrible" and the swedish merchants were like "Really!?

Being an air rifle hunter, I tell you that the breast of wild dove is delicious. Like all birds (incl. chickens, turkeys etc), they could carry salmonella but grilled or cooked it's safe as long as you don't eat it rare or bloody. Clean thoroughly the cutting knife and cutting board. Indeed city pigeons are often ill and must be discarded
As a Jamaican, I admit that our food is weird, such as oxtail and goat 😆. We also eat rum cake. The only thing that gives me a headache are sweet plantains.
There are a lot of countries around the world that eat goat so not as weird and oxtail is good. How does sweet plantain give you a headache? Too sweet?
Imm him. Yes, definitely. Im sooo scared im definitely going to get sick. Yes the title is good for click bate but not for those who know what to expect.
Europeans ate pigeons also. That's how the breed got to America. People all over the world used fermentation and salting to preserve food before refrigeration existed.
Now its below freezing after dusk in the desert, if you're a night owl you're going to enjoy gelato or ice cream in autumn or spring before you get bored.
