Summary
We play Delicious or Disaster, drafting three ingredients from a list built to break spirits: surströmming, century eggs, Marmite, chicken livers, frog legs, black-pit olives, artichokes, mushrooms, and lima beans. Ian aims for a hearty stew with frog legs, mushrooms, and chicken liver (bartering for potatoes). Justin builds a “strong but balanced” plate with artichokes, lima beans, and surströmming—and defends the infamous fish’s flavor over its smell. Points, pride, and palates are on the line.

Key Takeaways

• Bold funk needs either equally bold foils or fatty carriers—bland sides rarely suffice

• Texture management (bones, rubberiness, grit) makes or breaks “weird” proteins

• Barter mechanics and constraints can produce surprisingly logical dishes

• Smell ≠ taste: some notorious foods are milder on palate than on nose
