  1. Iberian ham is the best cured meat I've ever had. And I LOVE cured meats. They do it right out there. They are not joking, when we got our whole leg, holding it makes the fats melt just from the heat of your hands.

  2. To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God bless you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  3. I went to work in Barcelona and one of the developers was a Spanish guy from Galacia in north east Spain. He would always buy a massive leg of Iberian ham. We went with him one year and the owner of the shop took us down into the cure room, gave us tasters with bread and cheese, wine to go with it, advice on storage, when best to eat, etc. It was an excellent experience and they took such pride and were willing to share with us their history, how they make it, etc. We went back the next year and he remembered us and went through his latest hams he had, plus ham, wine, etc. I love people like this who are so knowledgeable and passionate about their trade. Shame not all industries, etc take this attitude.

  4. I was fine until he pulled out the whole fillet and I almost mini barfed in my mouth. And then it started leaking 🤢

  5. As a 682nd generation American(obviously, sarcasm) there’s something quite impressive and captivating about the Italian language…….and all of their amazing foods!!!!

  6. The content of food insider is getting worse. I mean no new features and mostly are flashback. Don't get me wrong I love food insider but contents are not interesting and not updated anymore. Need some upgrades i believed

  7. the closed caption person needs to put the words he is telling us in iceland spelling?? then i know what the name is in his language!! 😮

  8. So how can i order some of these foods,and have it home delivered?? im in the USA !! 😊

  9. In Hawaiian religion, there are lesser deities known as ʻaumakua. They are usually animals like the sea turtle, the dolphin, the owl or the octopus, though they can also be flowers, trees or even a hill or a cave, that are ancestral deities. My family ʻaumakua is the SHARK, so when I heard of Iceland's history of eating shark meat, I was ready to be upset, much like how I feel about Asia's torture of the animal in making shark fin soup. This is an amazing process, though! I'm impressed that the bulk of the sharks come from by-catch, that they use SO MUCH of the shark in this process, and even that historically it was buried in the ground to allow it to ferment and detox (Hawaiians loved to bury their food haha). Really a cool segment, and very enlightening! Aloha Iceland! 🤙🏽🌺

  10. Haggis honestly sounds delicious! I can’t wait to go to Scotland and try it someday! On the other hand, I’m going to Iceland for my honeymoon and am a little scared to try the fermented shark haha

  11. Its so sad that there seems to be so much predjudice against offal and it has vecome difficult to buy anything but muscle meat. We are missing out on so much. Here in UK, steak and kidney pie and pudding are 'iconic' British dishes, yet i can no longer buy the ingredients in any of my local supermarkets. Steak, yes. Kidney, forget it!

  12. Black sausage is quite common here in Trinidad 🇹🇹 I guess being a former British colony that’s where it came from!

  13. Haggis honestly sounds delicious! I can’t wait to go to Scotland and try it someday! On the other hand, I’m going to Iceland for my honeymoon and am a little scared to try the fermented shark haha
