You can apparently also pick them up in IKEA!

Outside the Nordic Countries, The Netherlands and Germany, salmiakki can also be found in the Swedish furniture store IKEA that capitalizes on its Swedish image by selling a small selection of Swedish foods in addition to furniture in many markets.

Cons: Heavy mental block to overcome, if you dislike the idea of eating wriggling tentacles. Somewhat slimy texture. Suction cups still function, so pieces might stick to your cheek or tongue while eating.

Pros: Movement aside, tastes as good as any other tentacle you'd get in a sushi shop. Sauce is excellent, and nicely compliments any liquor you might be enjoying. Tentacle chunks actually coat themselves in the sauce once placed in the dish, saving valuable dining time.

Overall: Tasty, as long as you get the sauce on there. A good drinking food. Chew quickly.

When I went to Jaejudo as a kid, I got to choose which squid I want chopped up in front of me and got horribly traumatized as I watched the blood vessels explode through the transparent skin of the legs. Also, the strange sensation of not being able to swallow because of the suction cups sticking to my tongue was really kind of weird.

Still, now I'd probably eat it without any problems.

Also, ppondeggi is all worlds of nastiness. They sell it in little cans at every Korean market I've seen too. They explode if you microwave it, the little larvae!


Klikbeep, what is your favorite Korean food?
