Ambergris was the answer to the extra credit question on written test in knife skills-fish section of culinary school. I was amazed I speeled it korrectly and got the extra points. ;)

Another one of those sentences that has probably never been stated before.

We’re not really sure whose vomit it was...

Man, some people have all the luck! I've walked along beaches hundreds of times and never once came upon any valuable whale vomit.

Did almost get crapped on by a seagull, though!

I saw a recent storage auction show where they found some in a locker, but it’s illegal to sell in the US. How selling a whale’s vomit is going to hurt the whales is unclear, but that’s the government for you.

Inspector: Forget your sales! We’ve got to protect the public! Now what about this one, number five, it was number five, wasn’t it? Number five: Ram’s Bladder Cup. (beat) Now, what sort of confectionery is that?

Mr. Hilton: Oh, we use only the finest juicy chunks of fresh Cornish Ram’s bladder, emptied, steamed, flavoured with sesame seeds, whipped into a fondue, and garnished with lark’s vomit.

Inspector: LARK’S VOMIT?!?!?

Mr. Hilton: Correct.

Inspector: It doesn’t say anything here about lark’s vomit!

Mr. Hilton: Ah, it does, on the bottom of the box, after ‘monosodium glutamate’.

Inspector: I hardly think that’s good enough! I think it’s be more appropriate if the box bore a great red label: ‘WARNING: LARK’S VOMIT!!!’

Mr. Hilton: Our sales would plummet!

Sorry, reporter, but whales do not vomit ambergris. It is made in a lower stomach and the impaction of squid beaks is either expelled when the whale is dead and the carcass eviscerated by scavengers and the elements or -more rarely - small pieces may break free and pass - though not through the mouth. It would certainly be helpful if writers who call themselves reporters would do a bit of research once-in-a-while and stop advancing this “vomit” falsehood.

[Trod Upon]

Ah yes, nothing seduces the senses like the scent of...whale puke.

Things like this beg me to wonder what the first person was thinking when he picked up some whale vomit and thought to himself, “I wonder if this would help me make a better perfume?”
