Короп

I spoke about carp in the comments the other day and then saw Rachel's comment on Cro's blog, about Russian Salad. My family recently all cleared the local Lidl out of frozen carp.  Its in a white bag with flowery bits on it and the make is called Polish Taste.  

Now a lot of people have an adverse reaction to the thought of eating carp.  "Ew, its tastes like dirt and pond water".  Well, yes it can, but people who catch it to eat it regularly know you have to purge it.  Like they do with snails.  They give them only leaves and no dirt to travel over and voila, no dirt taste.  

Big business has taken away the need to spend all day at a lake or pond, we can drive to Lidl park and then calmly hustle in as fast as can be to get them into the trolley as fast as you can.  

Serve with butter and sumac.  Or if you are fancy you can have carp and Russian salad for your meal on Christmas eve.  (yes I really just used the word Christmas, get used to it, its less than 6 months away).

I Googled it to see if I could find it, but then I found {THIS} and saw the below youtube.  lol  

Run dont walk!  Enjoy!!!



And the bonus, a 5 minute trolley dash in Lidl, because everyone needs to buy a wardrobe in a supermarket!


If it was me I would have stayed with the electronics and the coffee aisle and gone in earlier in the day to choose what I needed to get and memorised where to go.  But that is just me.  5 minutes isnt long!

That dash was a trifle undignified! I was once given a tin of something called 'Mudfish' from a Chinese supermarket. It tasted of mud and was swimming in something which looked - and tasted - of mud. Just like says on the tin...

Ha ha Tom I have never heard of Mudfish... I wonder what you eat with it? sounds a little weird. then again a lot of people think that carp is crap! lol hope you are well

I used to like carp, especially on our Passover festival when it is traditional to eat crap meat in various forms. Well, not any more, not after I've seen worms emerge from the crap patties in the jar I bought. I googled and learnt that crap has to be checked for worms which gather especially in its head and then are transferred to the meat and bones, and even cooking doesn't exterminate them.

It was even gritty. I seriously believe it was mud.

Hi DUTA, I have never heard of that I will ask my Aunt and Uncle. Sounds disgusting. I will ask them if they have ever seen it in gefilte fish that is prepackaged. They make it by hand a lot and add turnip or parsnip. I will ask them as that sounds really nasty. Thanks for the tip

Hi Tom, that sounds really gross. Maybe it is in mud and it is some form of delicacy. As in it is super refined mud or something. kind of like a 100 year old egg that the Chinese people specialise in.... could it be that?
