Ok, folks.  Let's see how many of you kayakers are serious enough about 
emulating their Inuit paddling brethern to have eaten blubber?
>>

I haven't eaten blubber, but I have eaten pemmican made for Will
Steger's North Pole expedition that he had rejected for not being fatty
enough. (I thought it was pretty tasty.) I think it was in one of
Chapman's books about the British Arctic Air Route Expeditions that seal
blubber was described as tasting like walnut-flavored whipped cream.
Yum.

OK!  OK!  Maybe it's not up to the Inuit standards of blubber ingestion, but
I've eaten [or perhaps I should say chewed through] my share of octopus --
raw, fried, baked, you name it!  It's might tasty too -- though not as good
as the chocolate-covered roach I downed long ago!!!
