I'm a big fan of the strange:

Quote from: "Misigisaq Menu"

102) Kangaroo on an iceberg:  kangaroo filet in a  sweet and sour tomato paste


Now, I know because I have been monitoring this site as part of my plan to take a trip to Greenland and eat everything on that menu at least once, that the kangaroo was part of a special festival related to the Prince of Denmark marrying someone from Australia, but a first time browser wouldn't have ANY idea why the hell there is KANGAROO in GREENLAND.

I'm also a big fan of the obvious lies:

Quote from: "Misigisaq Menu"

62) 鱼香鲸鱼肉丝
   
Whale as fragrant as giraffe: whale meat, bought from the hunter，cooked in a spicy Sichuan sauce, popular throughout China


First of all, I can buy whale being popular in the coastal areas of China, but definitely not "throughout" and certainly not in an inland province like Sichuan.


And then of course the stuff that makes the menu from Temple of Doom look like candy by comparison:

Quote from: "Misigisaq Menu"

82) 北极人冰淇淋
   
Akutaq (“akusaq” in Greenlandic): a traditional Inuit favourite sweet for special occasions, called “Eskimo ice cream” - prepared from caribou fat, seal oil and blueberries。  Something like a cassata but with a whiff of seal oil.


WITH A WHIFF OF SEAL OIL PEOPLE.

Look, I'm a foodie, Onstad is a foodie, all you motherfuckers are foodies and we ALL HAVE A HARD ON FOR THIS PLACE. I say PONY THE FUCK UP and we can charter an Achewood Greenland trip. Flights to Greenland unfortunately are on the little pontoon planes and run about $5,000 from Newfoundland. The other option is to go to Denmark and back via Iceland and that costs more money.

Flight information:

From Canada (I think this is one-way)

Everything else is from Scandinavia.

Too bad I already have extensive travel plans this summer.  Get me some take-out?

I bet Ray would be up for it too, as he is fond of trying weird meat.

Next year! we will plan this for next summer. Not so much for you, but merely because of the logistics.

Steamed Bread:  the staple food of northern China

COMMUNISM: EACH TO HIS OWN ABILITIES, EACH WITH HIS STEAMED BREAD

You think the capitalists have their bread steamed?  No way, comrade.

Oh, ok.  It sounded so spontatneous that I assumed you were planning for the near future.

I vote for the route via Iceland.

Fuck that shit, yo. This isn't a tour of joy. This is a two day excursion to Greenland to EAT fuck*ng STRANGE CHINESE FOOD. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO IN GREENLAND. Perhaps by way of road trip through montreal.

This thread amuses me, but only now that it's in the correct forum. Honestly, folks. Jeeesus.

Anyway, I do love the sheer absurdity of a Greenlandic Chinese restaurant serving a dish that involves kangaroo. Talk about the world shrinking every day...
