> I've actually had hákarl and whale in Iceland. They are both horrible.

So have I, and I disagree completely. I wasn't a real fan of hákarl, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it's hilariously[0] reputed to be. It was mostly inoffensive, honestly.

As for whale? It's the most delicious, most filling meat I've ever had. It was full of flavour. It's nothing like tuna — more like beef, only ever so much more so. I really wish that I could get it at the supermarket here at home.
