1: I may have discovered Atlantis.
2: Any detective in the bum shaped bit of Ingerland is unlikely to be wet as it's practically a desert here.
3: I only had two points but wanted to justify making a list.
If the French detective investigating your murder is not sexy, then the serial killer who murdered you is likely kind of sexy, maybe out of your league, like you might be a little bit flattered in the afterlife
Evidence base
Erlendur:Iceland: Sad and cold
Wallander:Sweden:sad and cold
Martin Beck: Sweden: not so sad but def cold
Lisbeth Salander: Sweden: weird sexy and cold
Maigret: France: bit sad and drunk
Morse:England: sad and drunk, but sexy
Montalbano: Italy: sexy
Brunetti: not sad or drunk or sexy
Nurse from Finland telling me “I only let my son watch Finnish cop shows because all the crime is things like someone stole a bike and they’re chasing him on foot, or some mystery person kicked several bikes outside of a shop”
At my wedding in Norway, I had a 24-hour slow cooked moose steak so tender it melted on the tongue, with locally harvested potatoes, mushroom sauce, and crushed and sugared lingonberries.
We can make good food. It's just we don't tell anyone else about it, because we want to keep it secret
It's almost like lutefisk is a food challenge. You've got it ready for when someone says I want the authentic stuff, even though the authentic is mainly just locally available produce and some decent fish/game.
But if you bill the starvation level food as your normal food, then you can feed that to visitors and keep the good food for yourself. (Until you just sort of lean into it yourself like the Midwest in the u.s., then the normal food becomes bad)
Excuse me, but I watched "SOKO Potsdam" (aka "Luna + Sophie"), so I'm pretty sure that the detective investigating my death in Berlin would be Sad and Sexy. Please adjust the map accordingly. TY
I love that show. Saturday nights on one of our local PBS channels. A couple good ones have come to PBS, especially DI Ray and the French crime show Astrid.
Going to the murder scene whistling a jaunty tune, gasping in delight as it turns out to be the serial killer who stabs people with frozen poop. Another fantastic day of investigation.
The American detective would be sad, wet, cold, despondent, drunk and pathetically guilty over their own past crimes. But would get laid anyway, at least once before the investigation is over.

Not all of them taste good, but when the alternative is starvation...
It takes about 90 years to acquire it.
Some of them are survival foods to celebrate the halfway point in winter
None of us like them, so why make them? Let's feast on the dishes we actually like
Enduring misery for tradition's sake is very Slavic
Had a real nice moose stew last year in Alaska.
