OT Worswick- I was hoping that you would complete your study with a report on the taste and texture of whale blubber. Tony

..you probably know that in the northern world Iceland has the most beautiful of all ladies ..alas there aren't many of them for the population of the whole country is somewhere around 300,000...also one of the 10 wealthiest countries in the world with a long term plan to create a hydrogen based energy economy....a very sophisticated country it is!

Worswick, whale blubber??? 'Ohmigwad' I think you better reevaluate your culinary habits 'cos we want you around here for a while you understand. Besides if you make this a habit next thing you know you will be trying pickled pig knuckles or testicles even and what if you start liking it.<VBG>

OT Clark: I think whale blubber is best served par-boiled, with perhaps a dash or a touch of parsley, sage, rosemary and/or thyme (say about a « pound each), accompanied by a subtle wine (130 proof GaoLiang or MaoTai, for example). Perhaps a digestive afterwards (better yet an entire case) would be advisable, although some people I know carry around a portable stomach pump for just such occasions. Your server's smiles remind me of the story of someone who dives into a pool (not knowing it is unheated) in 0§ weather and calls out to those remaining pool-side, "Come on in! The water's fine!" Perhaps the server just wanted company. If the Asian crisis is causing you to melt down, I am not sure escaping to Iceland will do you any good, given the wonderful volcanic hot springs, and, at this time of the year, endless daylight. Iceland is on my "relatively" short list (I do have a shorter list) of places I want to visit before I can travel no more. Rumor has it that alcoholism is a raging problem there, but I think it worth the dangers of succumbing to it to view the site where Ronald Reagan single-handedly won the Cold War by impressing upon Mikhail Gorbachev the hopelessness of Gorbachev's efforts to delay research into and eventual implementation of the much-maligned Strategic Defense Initiative. I guess that time proved him (Reagan) right then (about the collapse of the Soviet empire) and that current events (proliferation of nuclear and biological weaponry) will prove that an impartial world-wide missile defense system (offered and refused at Reykjav¡k) is the earth's best hope of preventing mass destruction. You speak Icelandic? I am suitably impressed! Although it is off-thread, please do share your Icelandic investment ideas with the group! Take care and pleasant journey. Randy
