I have some Inuit friends and we were at a social function where all of the above were served. The caribou and seal were served raw and frozen so you just cut a chunk off and ate it, can't really describe the taste. It was okay but the Artic Char (salmon, also raw and frozen) was really good. The whale blubber was raw but not frozen and again you cut a piece off and ate it. I really hated the blubber because it was so chewy it took forever to eat and then you started to get grossed out because you were chewing and chewing. I have the same problem eating escargot or chewing on steak fat. In fact the blubber tasted like fishy steak fat
The yummiest thing was the bannock, I must have eaten about 8 peices by myself
I have also gone to several powwows and had buffalo burgers which are quite tasty. I also once ate Bison steak at a fancy scmanchy restaurant in Toronto. When I was in New Orleans I had alligator, turtle soup and did the suck and shuck crawfish thing. I also used to eat cow tongue sandwiches when I was a kid, it was made into a lunch meat and looked and tasted kind of like corned beef.
Katrinabgood-poutine is basically french fries topped with cheese curds and smothered in gravy, looks repulsive (like fries someone threw up on) and smells repulsive but I hear it is quite tasty.
I can't get past the smell as it turns my stomach but lots of people love it. It is apparently the national dish of Quebec.
or so I am told. But hey, I love Haggis so I can't say anything
I would probably be in Asia with Ginya eating whatever they put in front of me and not asking what if was because it would be better not too, and easier just to shut up and eat
