Tired of barbequed goat tacos how about Kiviak, a traditional Eskimo Christmas feast that is sure to get you talked about, it takes a bit of planning. First, kill a seal (clubbing is best as you want no holes in the skin) skin it out through the mouth to produce a seal shaped bag. Find some nesting Auks (Puffins or seabirds can work) stuff the seal with whole birds (feathers and all) along with their eggs and some seaweed. Sew up mouth and bury for eight months or so, Dig it up and scrape out the resulting goop. Kiviak is great but it needs a little something extra we suggest you garnish it with Dudleya edulis before serving. You’ll need something special for desert to get the taste out of your mouth, we suggest fully ripe Durian.
