I haven't tried it, but I would, as long as the whale wasn't endangered.

And if you were half way through the meat, and then were told it was endangered, would you spit it out?

I recently ate whale and it was actually very good.

I bought a chunk of whale meat the other day, but forgot about it and it passed the expiration date. I had to toss it this morning. (It was for raw consumption...)

Fancy that!

As raw meat, what do you add, or do you simply eat it and enjoy the natural flavours?

It`s eaten with soy sauce and a bit of ginger on top. I`m allergic to ginger, so have no idea if that enhances the flavor.

I'd be very suprised if it did not as it's very strong..

Yeah, it actually tasted like cooked tuna fish.
Sounds a bit strange but thats what it was like to me.
Anyway, I enjoyed it.

i like whale,it is my favourit animals ,and my name is mean ''whale'' in japanese langauge....:D
but i never tried it....however,it seems a good idea !!!!

I've been offered whale from Native Alaskans, but have never tried it.

It's funny how they give the Japanese such a hard time for whaling-- but the same thing is happening in America by the Native people.


Only difference is that the native's main source of food is the whale, and they kill it through more traditional means.

It's not so much the killing of whales that bothers me so much as the false reasoning for it. I mean, it's blatantly not for science- not when right after that big push for an expedition went through last year and a few weeks later it 'magically' started turning up on my supermarket shelf.**

Ok, "it's traditional" and "It's our culture" and so on is fine, I like to see native cultures still live and kicking, but traditionally they weren't using honking great ships and radar to kill literally thousands of whales. If they want to hunt whales in traditional ships, that's fine- they'd pull in less and it would still be a live tradition but as it is, it's just widespread commercial slaughter and that I think has to stop.

I ate it once. Bought some by accident when it turned up out of the blue in Top World and I thought it was marinaded fish. It... wasn't great. Nauseating actually. Maybe it was old or I cooked it wrong but it had the consistency of liver and a similar offal-like, yet kind of fishy taste. Certainly nothing I would ever eat again.

The same as pardon.. Usually used if you mishear. What is more informal.

The word "nummy" was used by you so I presumed you knew what it meant..

It is not in the dictionary:confused:

No results found for nummy:
Did you mean mummy (in dictionary) or Nammy (in reference)?

Columbine 07-01-2009 09:02 AM

"nummy" is like baby-speak for "yummy" which means 'tasty'.
