That looks just plain nasty... but thats just me i guess...

Tasty fish teeth.


That's just not right, somehow. I can understand eating soft cooked fishbones, even fish eyes (although I don't myself...)- but fish dentures ?


Yeck.


From Iceland, hakarl, which looks more innocuous than it really is.

What type of fish has teeth like that?

ROFLMAO @ Provost

the thing is...generally all food sold in Europe to the Russian ex-patriate community is actually made in Gemany. They simply just stick Russian labels to the can and jars so its would look like its Russian made. This might explain why.

Your theory has a little flaw, though: no fish that can be found in Germany has teeth like that.

[laurentius]

no actually I was serious. They really do that.

Hard to believe, Germany isn't really known for cheap labor, is it? So why would someone transport stuff like that (which must be... well, should be fresh when canned) to Germany when it can be canned everywhere in Eastern Europe, and then slap a Russian label on it?

Source?

Nono in general if you walk to a Russian market anywhere its full of cans and jars from Germany! All the veggies, cheeses and sausages, they are all made in Germany. They do this because its more cheap and perhaps better quality than in Russia....people trust the Westrern products. They just simply glue the label with a Russian kulak on it and sell it to the Russians.

Obviously this can was not from Germany....

Well, that's what you eat when your factory doesn't pay you.

I believe the picture in the OP explains laurentius' observation that Russians prefer western canned foods to Russian canned foods. I can't say I blame them.
