This was the s but even then elephant-hunting was mostly frowned upon, at least in the United States. To this day I don't know how the friend acquired it. Over the years I've had rabbit and frog but I guess the weirdest one I've eaten as an adult would be alligator.
And you must eat it freshly cooked: no sticking the leftovers in the fridge overnight to have for lunch the next day. Otherwise it gets rubbery. Given a choice I'd rather not have whale or elephant. Whether or not they're endangered, there aren't that many of them. Whereas we've got cattle all over the world, no lack of that whatsoever. I feel human beings need meat whether they want to admit to it or not, so we might as well eat from what's plentiful, rather than what is rare or has the potential to become rare.
It's not really about the intelligence though. Us being smart doesn't stop bacteria from eating us once we're dead, you know? And if we really cared about creatures for their intelligence we ought to stop destroying their habitat before we worry about how often or whether we eat them. Name required.

About us. June 25 by Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, MD in Meat. When on Iceland recently I had a local speciality for dinner: Whale. Interesting experience. Ha ha I love your last line - not really endangered. Cold boiled goats tongue would be my answer.
Strangest thing I have eat'n? We eat a fair bit of Kangaroo here in Australia. I love your work diet doctor and congratulations on your lovely daughter. I have to say, however, I would be reluctant to eat whale because they seem to be an intelligent animal. Ahh you must have gotten a 'lean' cut! Crocodile, it was some years ago so I cant remember the exact taste. Donkey, in a restaurant in Beijing. Tasted a bit like beef, or maybe horse, as you'd expect! Please dont eat whales, theyr cute and kuddly and about as smart and social as humans.
What's that funny looking thing toward the top-right of your plate?? It's in a triangular shape and looks extremely high-carb! Ash Simmonds. Not bad, not much taste to it really, texture is part way between chicken breast and thigh. The thing about whales is that they are bioaccumulators. Fish grow quickly, are caught and eaten within a year or two. Whales, on the other hand, have many years, even decades to accumulate heavy metals and other toxins in their flesh from pollutants before they are harvested.
Doctor, I see you eat potatoes. What is approx. I also read Primal Blueprint, which is also low-carb, but doesn't really limit fruit etc. However it is considered a delicatess by many. Whale tastes much more like its hairy cousins on land than its slimy neighbors in the sea.
Ondrej its not dangerous to do lowcarb, but you dont have to be to strict either if you are normal weight. Test for some time and see how your body react and modify your diet if needed. Ondrej, I never count grams of carbohydrate but I guess I eat from 50 grams a day and up. Berries and sometimes a fruit. Some potatoes sometimes. Rarely bread or pasta. Almost never refined sugar or candy except for an occasional piece of really dark chocolate.
I'll try it for a while and maybe return to classic. Basically, carbs form very little of our body composition. Body composition could be described like "amount of muscle: amount of fat" ratio. I am intentionally oversimplyfying, but really: strict low carb diet allows you to go for very low fat percentage, and if you add proper, progressive stregth training, sleep, recovery Obviously, even intuitive freestyle lowcarbing with lots of fruit, some dark chocolate Oooh, so which is the worse taboo for Dietdoctor to have broken?
What does LCHF even mean once you've added potatoes? Yes, because it's served on the plate it is therefore mandatory to consume it. If a large potato has about 60g net carbs, then that's about 22g carbs. It seems the Greenlanders know what they are doing as this did make it slightly more palatable. I have to admit though, I would only eat this again if I were in need of the nutrients and there was no other choice.

Food Tasting: Whale Blubber and Mattak — are you brave enough? By Lisa Germany Verified Expert. It was Wednesday. It turns out citrus fruit and sauerkraut are not the only ways to avoid scurvy!
Mattak A delicacy in Greenland, Mattak is the skin and fat of a whale with a thin layer of cartilage separating them. Mattak is the skin dark part and fat light part of the whale From the very first morsel, I quite liked the taste of Mattak. Raw Whale Blubber The second whale dish — raw whale blubber — was going to be more of a challenge for me. Raw whale blubber with soy sauce and aromat The helpful waitstaff informed me that the way Greenlanders eat this dish is with soy sauce and aromat — a yellow salty accompaniment.

There is an interesting piece in Slate that talks about the author's experience with eating whale. Worth a read. Inuit usually eat whale skin and blubber called muktuk either raw, boiled or dried.
You take it out of the freezer and let it thaw on the table for half an hour and then cut it into smaller pieces, usually no bigger than 1" x 1". To make it easier to chew through the cartilage, you'd take your ulu , a crescent-shaped knife, to cut a grid pattern through the blubber into the cartilage but not down to the skin. The cartilage is very tough, the skin is chewy and the smell stays on your hands despite multiple washings.
Some Inuit like to dip it into soya sauce or seal oil. You can also eat it boiled which softens the cartilage and tones downs the smell. I've eaten beluga, narwhal and bowhead and my favourite is raw narwhal dipped in soya sauce. Oh yeah, I had raw whale meat in a restaurant in Norway and it was not very tasty - dark, smelly and thick.
I didn't like it and it made my stomach queasy. For the high-brow opinion, there is an episode of the MTV show Wild Boyz in which Chris and Steve-o sample Alaskan delicacies, I think it was pieces of whale and walrus.
There's a section in Moby-Dick called "The Whale as a Dish", which contains the sum of my knowledge about eating whale. Actually, Moby-Dick is the main reason I know anything about whales. Advice on hotel room reservations. Newer ». This thread is closed to new comments.
