Greenland - First Expressions


Hi everybody,

Yesterday I’ve had my first Greenlandic dish, boiled seal and a seal soup called suaassat, and I would definitely eat it again if my life depended on it, but am not likely to do so otherwise. Today on the other hand I’ve tried raw whale skin, matak, and that tasted very nice. It is very chewy, and some call it Greenlandic chewing gum. The thing is, that the after-taste hits you with a 15 minutes delay and stays all day. But by then it's too late to regret...
