From Narwhal To Food In Three Easy Steps
Harpoon – cut up – take home….. it just don’t get much simpler than that.
This is a picture of some narwhal that are trapped in the ice near Pond Inlet, Nunavut….. they didn’t move to open water before freeze up and now they are gathering at the few open areas available to them to take turns breathing.
Left alone mother nature would soon exert her will and they would suffocate and die under the ice as the few remaining small open areas froze over – but that’s not gonna happen, yesterday local hunters stepped in and started turning them into food.
It’s a very interesting picture. I wish you had more.
For those who prefer their narwhal with more ingredients than just narwhal, here’s the standard recipe. Adjust ingredients for actual weigh.
1 (1.2 ton) narwhal
18 lbs Onions
73 lbs Potatoes
19 gallons Tomato Sauce
22 lbs Carrots
9 lbs Celery
1.4 lbs Salt
.7 lbs Black Pepper
.5 gallons Tabasco Sauce
Directions:
Place whale in pot with tomato sauce. Cook at 300 degrees for 4 hours. Add onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce. Simmer 36 hours. Serves 3,400 people.
Why are people always trying to cook things that taste so much better uncooked?
I have tried muktuk in a few different cooked states, and it always tasted like mush – it is supposed to be eaten frozen and raw, not boiled, not deep fried, and not stewed (the jury is still out on pickling) ….. a little salt is permitted.
My god man ! Would you mix 7-UP with Glenfiddich? No, no…. don’t answer that…. if you’d boil muktuk nothing is outside the realm of possibility
To be honest, although I like muktuk fresh and frozen, my favourite is pickled – Marie Uviluq had a bizarre way of doing it that was amazingly good.
Oh that’s beautiful. To think that I dropped by in expectation of reveling in some kind of absurd denunciation of Palin for speaking to a reporter while, in the words of the editors of the New York Times, the “carnage” of a turkey “execution” was visible in the background.
Tastes like chicken?
