"The fact is, that among his hunters at least, the whale would by all hands be considered a noble dish, were there not so much of him; but when you come to sit down before a meat-pie nearly one hundred feet long, it takes away your appetite."

I've had whale when I went to Norway.

Was it good? It was OK. Would I have it again? Probably not.

Still a nice experience. Also trying cured reindeer, moose and seal slices was pretty unique.

Whale meat is so iron rich. Basically eating liver.

Now reindeer steak — that’s excellent!
