doesn’t seal meat have way too much fat for non-Inuit to digest successfully?

No, but they will give you a rolling pin at the table if you make a special request.

A seal walks into a bar. The bartender says “What’ll have?” The seal responds “Anything but a Canadian Club”

Seal meat has been eaten by man for thousands of years. Only modern (Liberal) man seem to think that they are cute - therefor they should not be eaten. Somewhat like horse meat.

Oh right. Don’t forget Bambi and Thumper.

If someone could sneak that menu into any malibu restaurant it would be fun to time how long it takes them to pass out when they see it.

“Does it taste like chicken? If so, why not serve chicken?”

Chickens don't do well in the Arctic. They tend to freeze easily so locals have to make do with seal. BTW apparently seal meat does not taste like chicken. According to a quick google search:

“Seal has the texture of steak and tastes like mild beef liver.”

“Seal has the texture of steak and tastes like mild beef liver.”>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

With a slightly fishy after taste. In Newfoundland Seal is braised i n pork fat and the stewed in a a little water , salt onions and flour. Served with boiled potatoes and greens. Really quite good.

Its also made into seal pie and cooked the same way one would any meat pie.

Of course they eat seal in the north. You know what the natives say......vegetarian is an old Indian word meaning lousy hunter?

From the kind of fish they eat I would think seal meat would be better served as dog or cat food!!!

I won’t eat it either!

When I was a kid I would go by the butcher shop on the way home from school and get liver from the butcher for free for cart food, it wasn’t considered fit for human consumption!
