 JW> I guess one learns to like it if it is eaten regularly from birth

Nobody tell Roslind's assistant the ignominious
fate of the poor animal.

Sadly, those numbers aren't so way off for some
parts of the States as well.

Sometimes you taste things to touch on a quite alien
culture. I ate so little of these things, raw and
cooked tastes measured in grams (half grams perhaps)
rather than ounces, that perhaps I was unfair to this
particular food, but even these tastes gave me a
profound conviction that I would not survive up there,
plus a measure of respect for those who could. A couple
fingernails' worth of blubber harked back to an ointment
my mother used to use, Desitin, which was made with cod
livers. Rich beef indeed. Perhaps we should have sliced
the blubber thin and rendered it crisp, but I was not
going to suggest that for fear of poisoning the local
atmosphere.

 JK> she said it tasted good in stews, soups etc.
 JW> Newfoundland fishermen eat them too but only when catches are poor and
 JW> prices are down. They much prefer any kind of beef or pork from the
 JW> store, even cheap ass bulk baloney. Nfld is the only place where
 JW> I've seen baloney on restaurant menus regularly: fried baloney and
 JW> eggs for breakfast, baloney and cheese sandwiches for lunch and
 JW> baked baloney chubs with pineapple-rum glaze for dinner.
