Dried Fish ( Yak )

[JJReyes]

You know I'm sure many cultures have their stinky delights. The smell is just a by product of dish that tastes good. In French Polynesia, their delicacy is called fafaru.

The Japanese have "natto," which is fermented soy beans. It is sticky, slimy and stinky. The best beans are produced by a group of Black farmers in Georgia for export to Japan. Very profitable since prices are nearly double regular soybeans. The beans are about one third the size of the regular ones and the group keeps it a secret as to their growing method. Some trade association in Tokyo invited the Georgia farmers for a visit. The delegation was asked to sample the Natto. Nearly everyone threw up. The Japanese are still scratching their heads as to what happened. I had the same reaction (running for the restroom) after accidentally taking a plate of Natto sushi from a Kaiten (conveyor belt sushi) restaurant.

Evidently my wife has been reading this topic and laughing her XXX off.

She had some friends over early this week and cooked some stench fish on our patio they also had some of those tiny little silver fish (Ginamos).

My wife eat some for breakfast and told me if I didn't kiss her "you going to be in big trouble". She got her kiss.

My wife matter-of-factly explains the Filipino fondness for dried fish in this manner: "In the very humid tropics, we need the salt. Otherwise, we would not retain water and just sweat it all off." This also explains bagoong and patis. She also says that the fondness for dried fish is not just associated with being poor and having little to eat. Even affluent Filipinos crave it now and then. It reminds them of good times when vacationing in the provinces. The saltiness is also the perfect complement to the sweetness of champorado. And, towards the end of the Christmas season, it provides a good break from all the feasting on rich food.
