@ai @coolboymew @hidden There's actually so much. As i said, we really have no culture for preserved foods. I know maybe 10 things of the sort, and can count the number i've eaten with one hand. My favorite ones were some tomatos in oil i bought out of curiosity. They tasted soo good. But these things tend to be imported, so they were very expensive.
I do like some strong flavors, like acid (is this the same as sour in english? acid like a lemon) and spicy, but fresh foods rarely have this property. Their flavors are more subtle because they haven't been concentrated, either through drying or adding some preserving medium.

Yeah I'd definitely say acid is sour in english. Your tomatoes in oil reminds me how I used to eat like one of these jars every week (bamboo shoots in chili oil) because I liked the taste so much. I also went through a lot of kimchi.
I'm into canned fish too, as we once established that I was mercury-poisoning myself. I tried some cheap canned octopus (pic 2) and thought it was pretty good too.
The other obsession of my childhood was Italian-style giardiniera, which I would put on *everything*, from mac-and-cheese to toast.

@cinerion @coolboymew @hidden This sounds amazing. Fun fact about me, I really love all kinds of preserved foods for some reason. Pickled veggies, smoked meats, nordic-style pickled herring is a favorite of mine. I think I just like strong tastes, especially sour. (We have that in common?) So I think this idea is really fucking cool
