"All a culture thing, right?"

Right you are.

If you're in the area I'd exercise a little caution for a while when ordering from the menu at their casino. The last one they killed, most of them refused to eat any of it because it was so revolting, so they'll probably put in the fettucine alfredo they serve us honkies, and stick to their traditional Big Macs and Wolf Brand Chili.

That brings to mind. Pt Barrow Eskimos were in the process of processing a whale. Everyone, on tv, ate a bit of the meat and some of the blubber. I’ve tased the blubber and it isn’t bad, if you have an imagination, as I do, it does taste a bit like almonds. It’s like seaweed, it grows as one chews. Anyway, the reporters were all in a dither with the oldsters eating the raw meat, which to them is a treat, some tasting the fat, as I did and one of the reporters asked a younger woman, what else do you do with whale meat. Her answer, “it’s great with beef and macaron, except we use whale meat.” I thought that was precous. Times change and so do we humans. Some like to remember the “olden days”, which weren’t bad, cause they didn’t know any different, some like to live in the present, so let’s let them do it. As for the whaling.........??????????? Maybe one day it too will diappear, like so many of the legends, art, old recipes, etc, but it will be a memory for the “oldsters” of that era, of glory, not quite attained.
