Tvøst og spik is a typical dish of the Faroe Islands, a self-governing country of Denmark in the North Atlantic. Tvøst og spik consists of pilot whale meat, blubber and potatoes. The meat is prepared in different ways, it can be boiled or fried fresh, it can be stored in either dry salt (turrsaltað) or in very salty brine (lakasaltað), it can be frozen and later prepared, or it can be hung up outdoors to dry, then cut in long slices (grindalikkja) and hung under a roof away from the rain. The blubber can also be prepared in different ways, boiled, salted or dried, but not fried. Dried blubber can also be eaten together with dried fish, as shown on the photo. The meat is very dark, almost black.
