Brilliant as always, Pallavi.

Squares of muttock, or whale blubber was regularly doled out to me in Greenland.

Up north in Svalbard, caviar was widely available and cheaply priced, but green veggies were outrageously expy when found. Just as polar bear wall-hangings were easier to come by than paintings.

Indians who profess to be meat eating immediately begin to claim to be vegetarian after their first meal in China 😀 ! A fish savouring Bengali friend after his experience with the flapping fish and sea cucumbers remains till date a vegetarian !! Chicken,lamb and some fish is about all that the rest of world can tolerate ! Wonder how it’s in Korea,Vietnam, Cambodia - also Japan !!

Your post just made me feel hungry! Look forward to more of these culinary tours !
