Qiviut; Ghee...I did make some, but since I had it I used salted butter! (Which in rereading your post you suggested I not do!) I will use unsalted next time. I used an oven bake method which seems to work well.

I really do like the taste. I also liked the taste of the skimmed off solids, and since I am not lactose intolerant, I will not waste and I use them on bread or in soup or on vegetables. Intense taste, and incredibly salty! Mrs. Pete thinks its great, however I told her I was making "Clarified Butter" which is mostly true. If I told her it was Ghee she would probably associate it with Yak husbandry or Tibet and India and refuse to eat anything made with it. As long as its "Clarified Butter" its associated with Lobster and Crab and Texas toast! (I might tell her the alternative name after we have been using it a while!)

(On the subject of "Bovidai"....while this is a different species, here is something about raising Musk ox in Alaska!)

ONE Musk OX = $30,000 of Fiber

(But we know you already knew this!)
