Wiki wrote:The word gravlax comes from the Scandinavian word gräva/grave ("to dig"; modern sense "to cure (fish)") which goes back to the Proto-Germanic *grabą, *grabō ("hole in the ground; ditch, trench; grave") and the Indo-European root *ghrebh- "to dig, to scratch, to scrape",[1] and lax/laks, "salmon".

So you take a dead fish, bury it, leave it to decay for a while, dig it up again and make a meal out of it?

This is the same culture that soaks fish in lye before eating it.

Do not be surprised, my friend. The Scandinavians are fucking insane.

There isn't much decay in that time period when it's coated in salt.

It can be debated it the Finns are actually Scandinavian, because apparently you have to be Germanic for that. And the Finns are too badass for that. Soaking herring in lye is a Norwegian culinary tradition, if I'm not mistaken.

Insanity is in the eye of the beholder, by the way.

But what about the Danish, then? They're also supposed to be Scandinavians, after all.

I think that might be more of a history based exception.
