The Stedji brewery's Hvalur 2 beer is being sold for a limited period to mark the Icelandic midwinter month of Thorri, the Visir website reports. The testicles of fin whales - which are an endangered species - are cured "according to an old, Icelandic tradition" before being salted and smoked, with one being used per brewing. "We want to create a true Thorri atmosphere, and therefore we decided to use smoked testicles from fin whales for flavouring the beer," says Dagbjartur Ariliusson, a co-owner of the brewery. "We put a lot of effort into this and it's a long process."

Sheep shit is used as fuel for the smoker.

I can't imagine ever getting that thirsty.

How can they legally hunt an endangered species? Do they catch, castrate and release?

Malt-O-Meal. Even the smell of it sends me into dry heaves.

I grew up on liver and onions, okra, pickled eggs. Love them. Funny how we all have such different ideas of yuck.

Seems it's not illegal in Iceland. Being "traditional" can cover a lot of sins.

It was dog food MANY years ago. Snausages in a blanket are not that bad.
