Unfortunately, it tastes really minging in ice cream :o) When I was there one of the elders was telling me how much he loves aqutak. He went to the coast to visit some friends and they made aqutak and he took a HUGE plateful before remembering that at the coast they are more likely to make it with seal oil than Crisco. Since it's considered rude not to eat everything you put on your plate, he had to wade through the whole fishy tasting mess. Luckily, I was warned in advance about Yup'ik customs - it meant I only took very small portions of anything dodgy looking - I could go back for second helpings of aqutak, but only had to gag my way though one piece of blubber :o)<br /><br />I also ate bear meat which was probably the most delicious tasting, tender meat I've ever had, but that's only because it was eating fruit (they knew this, since they caught it in a blueberry patch with its little face all covered in blueberry juice). If they have been dining on fish their meat tastes horrible. And you don't want to eat black bears that have been foraging in the town dump. I'm saying no more...<br /><br />I shall go and check out your list shortly!<br /><br />Paul - LOL - that's brilliant, although I'm extremely glad for him that 'thank' isn't spelled 'twank' :o)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780558832861165256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-1865875190761831232009-06-11T01:50:25.985-07:002009-06-11T01:50:25.985-07:00just because: My brother in law Jimmy has the love...just because: My brother in law Jimmy has the love/ hate tattoos on his knuckles but then he's got loads of tattoos.

Maybe his toes say - SADAISY. Aqutak is gorgeous. You take a white fish, boil it, squeeze all the water out of it until it's dry flakes, add a pound of lard, a pound of sugar, a bit of condensed milk if you're feeling decadent, or some seal oil if you're feeling sadistic and fluff the mixture up until it's light and airy. Then add loads and loads of berries. Eat, and listen to your arteries as they harden.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780558832861165256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130397031953077904.post-74921953826605261512009-06-10T15:25:29.726-07:002009-06-10T15:25:29.726-07:00I've been tagged for this meme, too. Re "...I've been tagged for this meme, too. Re "Night of the Hunter," I have just returned from a local farmers' market, where I bought a chicken pot pie and some scallions from a soft-spoken soul who was apparently a former biker. He wore leathers, lots of silver, and plenty of tattoos. Across the knuckles of one hand was tattoed H-A-T-E. Across the other was B-U-M-P, oddly enough.<br /><br />Aqutak sounds way cool.
