I have recently enjoyed playing WITP (Where Is This Place?) under the BnA Forum section but I noticed recently that participation is not widely extensive. So after enjoying the comments under the Worst Food thread, I thought maybe some of you might like a "What Is This Food" challenge.
The idea is that you post a picture of a food (good, bad or otherwise; live or cooked or in state of preparation; packaged or loose, solid or liquid, etc.) and others have to guess what it is. I would say that starting with general categories might be best and then narrow it down from there. If you get the right answer, you can then choose to post a picture or leave the board open to anyone else.
I hope some folks might be interested in this...I guess we'll see how it goes.
seal meat is actually much darker....the colour of coagulated blood.
Again! YUM!
Now that lunch has settled...if I twist my head to the left a bit....that looks like what might have been a shark mouth at some point. Are we about to make that delicacy of delicacies....SharkMouthNeck Soup?
Are there sharks in Hudson Bay? Must be, right? They're everywhere. More importantly....do sharks have necks?
SharkMouthNeck Soup says I!!!

Sorry to do a job on your stomach NtfT....but I am amazed at your ability to visualize a shark mouth!
As far as I know there are no sharks in HB but there are killer whales apparently. So to put an end to this challenge in hopes that someone else will pick up the lead (or you, if you can spare the time while pretending to work)......
This is "muqtuq" or what is commonly known as whale blubber (it is actually the skin and attached "meat"). The particular whale is the beluga which should be migrating up my way in another month or so. This is the raw version which is an acquired taste (very oily) but I have had some wonderful cooked versions.
Darn! I was too late! and I would have gotten it to! Not nearly as bad as it looks, but an aquired taste non the less. Too bad I don't have any pics from home . . . but now that I am in NZ I could probably only post a picture of pies. I think that is all they eat here!

You will have to show me a sharkmouthneck sometime.....I'm not really sure what that is. I know sharks have mouths...but necks?????
Too bad melslion didn't get a chance....hopefully, she will find a unique NZ pie to stump us with!
Ok, now with the task at hand...hmmm....me thinks a sausage but somehow I don't think it is that easy. I am betting the contents of the sausage go beyond the beef and pig hooves and internal organs that I am accustomed to eating. Am I correct in assuming the contents are derived from a 4-legged land animal? Is it something like camel sausage?

Likely, yes. I confess I've never eaten this, but the odds are very good that it goes "beyond" those items you mention, but it certainly includes some of them as well...

I'll say yes, mostly.

I have no idea what camel sausage is....but I'm willing to bet (cross-culturally) that they are in the same family!
P.S. Out for the night...will check and see who's hungry in the morning!
EDIT/DING!!!!: To kryetech! for ..."hmmm, looks like chunks of pork in gelatin."

It looks like a variation of head cheese to me. I didn't know you were a vegetarian NTFT. I'd sample that in a second, and ask what it was later. IOW, it looks good!

I think we get Hormel Chicken in a Can.....do they make that? It is a whole chicken stuffed into a big can. I am awaiting the right occasion to try it for my first time. I guess people buy it here to take out on the land....
Hey Braslvr....do you have a pic you want to post.....seeing as you got the 3 Gags from NtfT?
Good one NtfT!....I like the 3 Gags versus the 3 Dings.
