Boiled Peanuts...and Tinned Fish

[Silver]

Look at this commercial for looks like a snuff tin:




Then learn what Gentlemen's Relish is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentleman%27s_Relish

Are you a gentleman or not? I'm on the lookout for a tin of this tasty treat.

Not sure if I'm a gentleman, but this could be tasty.

Those crazy Swedes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surströmming

"A newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world, even stronger than similarly fermented fish dishes such as the Korean hongeohoe or Japanese kusaya"

Do they sell this at IKEA?

The only thing I'm turned off of by this is that they offer a non-gutted version..so whatever these fish ate are still on board..

I've been reading a lot about smoked fish today because I'm thinking about getting into the business, at least on the shallow end to see what I can make of it.

In England they call those non-gutted fish bloaters because they don't gut them, they just haul them up, wash them off, and then they fast smoke them so the fish inflate (bloat). They used to be considered superior to kippers, which are gutted and headless.

Me, I like my fish the way I like my friends, with guts and a head. That's why I like you.

What I really want is to try that Gentlemen's Relish. Something that has been around since 1828 can't be all bad.

1828 was an election year. Andrew Jackson was elected president. When he was elected, the White House was overrun by well-wishers. They muddied the carpets. The world's largest cheese at the time was served at the reception. It came from Goshen, Connecticut. It would have gone well with some Gentlemen's Relish, I'm sure, or maybe with this other esteemed English condiment:



Not that I want to get off topic or anything. I love canned fish. Cheese and chutney not so much.

I'm looking into making fermented fish sauce.

I ate some delicious tinned smoked salmon this evening, accompanied by havarti, some Sociables, and a glass of white wine. That's all I needed for dinner.
I bought some Riga sprats the other day and my daughter can't wait to dig in to them with me. My kids both love canned seafood, grew up eating it. Ever had Riga sprats? They're basically Latvian smoked sardines, small ones packed in oil that are subtly sweet and absolutely delicious!!

The Poachers Relish sounds more my style.

Snack attack!! Filipino Style!

I see you have the same fine Williams-Sonoma dinnerware that we have, right down to the pattern.

If I knew where to start, I'd eat the whole thing. That looks pretty good!

Late and short a dollar, but...
You wanna use raw peanuts. We grow em so we can have an endless supply. We eat em spicier than most could tolerate, so we have to make em at home, and salted roasted peanuts cook too dry for us.

Id be willing to say i eat 10 gallons a year, but thats a very conservative guess. A little known fact is that boiled peanuts are the healthiest way to consume that legume.

There is just something about the southern states gas station boiled peanut that just makes them like no other. Kinda like the NYC dirty water dogs. They have that taste that you can't find anywhere else. One thing I miss about running over the road is all the good food.
