Re: [Paddlewise] Blubbering on (was: One bright thing pre Y2K)

I've tried seal meat while vacationing in Newfoundland.  Easy to find in
cans up there.  Tastes a bit like roast beef - even looks like it.  On the
way back to the states, I heard about a marionet from Canada that was being
sent to the US to be strung and was confiscated at the border because it
contained suspected seal parts.  The news stories told of potential $10,000
fines under the Marine Mammel Protection Act.  So, I had seal meat for
dinner, lunch, and breakfast, and left two cans in Stephenville, NB before
crossing the border.
