I have eaten raw whale blubber EC. They call it muktuk. I organized and implemented the first alcohol program in Barrow Alaska in December of 1971/2? It was 35 below 0, kids were playing out on swings at 3 in the morning and I wandered around barrow in a pair of white levis with a light coat, looking out for fox traps, to find our meeting place with the city council. Every house had a large covered porch filled with meat and stuff, and often sled dogs, so I couldn't just walk up and ask directions-lo. Ralph Amouhak and I spent a week together with the city council putting the program together. He would slice the "Muktuk" into smal squares like one might do with cheese and pop them into his mouth. The skin is black and about a 1/4 of an inch thick, the blubber is slightly pink and was about an inch thick. When I bit down the fat tasted like cod liver oil (which I grew up taking, so was OK), but when I got to the skin I had to stop. Had I gone further I would have thrown up - lol. Their tolits are "honey buckets" (no running water) and they put a very strong smelling anticeptic I cannot remember which kills the smell. The entire town is run on natural gas (with pipe leaks everywhere-lol). There is so much natural gas that when one well drys up they just drill another.
