Wayyyyy back in the day lobster was actually poor mans food not the higher priced delicacy it is today.

Interesting article that confirms that lobster was not a poor man's food at any time period, but actually held in good esteem by all wage classes of consumers.

But kudos to the first person that looked at a lobster, monkfish or burbot, and said, "Yeah, I'd eat that..."

Perhaps Mr Chef is thinking of oysters for they most certainly were a very cheap food stuff, An important sideline to that is it shows how much cleaner river estuarys were as well as beaches.

It was more the fishermen and locals that ate the abundant lobster. I never subscribed to prisoners eating it.

Truer words about those ugly's have never been spoken. My sentiments Exactly!

SMASH

And more SMASH.

Kilo’s of it.

But… you and all involved will be addicted!!!

Just Google “norwegian snack smash”.

I tried it once… favourite snack ever since. Even though I have to import it. But it seems to be easy to make yourself…

MrChef: I had to look it up: Gravlax is fresh salmon cured with salt and sugar. I think it's cooked, right?

Correct Cured. Excellent stuff. Not cooked. You put raw salmon in a mixture of sugar, salt, herbs and spices and let it sit in the fridge for at least 3 to 5 days and voila tasty snacks...

Smash = chocolate covered corn cones. I'd say that would be a simple and easy authentic Norwegian snack food that might fill the bill!

Imagine the first person that looked at a sea cucumber and said, "I wonder if I can eat that?"
