That's just nasty. Ewwww.Saw a documentary a while back about some Inuits. They go out and hunt little Auks. When they have enough birds to last through the winter, they don't cook them or anything. They pluck the feathers, then stuff a bunch of birds into a sealskin sack. They stuff that sack until it can't hold anymore, pack it down, sew it closed, seal it with fat to keep the bugs and such out, then build a stone cairn over the whole mess. They let this ferment for a few months, then come back for the birds. They eat that gluck just as it is, and consider it a delicacy. They serve it at weddings and give it to their kids. It looked disgusting, and I'm sure it smelled even worse.
I have a whole new appreciation for fried chicken, let me tell you!
When I made a living hauling stuff, a guy called and said he had a real nice freezer I could have for hauling it away, said I'd look at it.Have you ever had a freezer quit working and it's full of meat? Horrid.
Someone at work once declared from her office, "Mmmm mmmmm... fish and cabbage for lunch!" She then proceeded to the kitchen microwave. I ran for the hills!!!Have you ever dealt with a co worker at lunchtime nuking gan knows wat?
Some people actually bring fish. Left that job. Long line of tupperware holding people with stinky fish. Oh no.
I just had soup or something. Had to wait till the end dying.
Just recently my chest freezer got partially unplugged somehow...it was awful. Horrible and awful! I check the cord every day now since I'm attempting to refill it still. I wasn't sure I was going to survive cleaning it out...
When I made a living hauling stuff, a guy called and said he had a real nice freezer I could have for hauling it away, said I'd look at it.
Got there and he fesses up that the breaker popped on the freezer's outlet, out in the the building the freezer was in, he wasn't sure for how long, and it was full of catfish, bass, rabbit, squirrel, and who knows what else.
Told him without even opening it that' ll be a hundred beans or find somebody else (it's when I also revised my policy of hauling sometimes for the haul, you wanted gold bricks removed I'd still ding ya)...he said okey dokey, just like that, and that's when I knew it was gonna be pretty bad.
Thought about just hauling it to the dump, but damn if it wasn't a very nice freezer, so I took it to a creek that ran all year next to my house, wayyy downstream.
I'd taped it up real good with duct tape before moving it, but the odor was sneakin' out like poisonious vapor, so I knew it wasn't gonna be good, but oh my word talk about gag a maggot when I flipped it over, the lid popped open, and out poured I don't know how many gallons of liquified fish and all manner of wild game, but it was enough for copious violently projected chunks flingin' forth from your's truly...and that's when it hit me, why in the hell didn't he, or duh-uh, me, plug the damn thing in an outlet that worked, and refreeze it into a giant barf cube before dispensing it's vile contents..well ya know what they say, live and learn
Hey turned out to be a really good freezer, that is after a couple three gallons of bleach, and maybe four months airing out in the sun, wind, and rain.
Oh jeez, just thinkin' about it makin' me a bit rumbly in the tumbly, and that was like thirty years ago
My new favorite.

Andy works up North in Baker Lake with Inuits - I should ask him to find out if they do it up there - he has had caribou and Arctic char so far but not any fermented Auks.Saw a documentary a while back about some Inuits.

Oh green woulda been nice, pretty sure I was a few shades of purple from the massive belly hemoraging, couldn' t get it outta my nose, it was muchos much awful and kept on givin'..hey all them teef I keep in a cute lil' box are nice and white, can't much say 'bout the ones I swallered though...and I bet Pat turned his bestest shade of green!...it matches his teeth....errr, ummm-Hey look!-a liquefied squirrel!...
I work in a church and sometimes there's a party in the fellowship hall. One such party was a June wedding rehearsal dinner. Someone left a huge tray of BBQ pork in the stove for storage - excellent idea, right? And then no one used the building for a month. And guess who had to track down the smell and clean it out. I still think about that sometimes. Rancid meat is just about the worst thing to stink.
Now I must find the thread about nottie's stinky kitchen...
...one of those fragrances that just keeps dancin' the Watutsi on your snout and taste buds...Oh green woulda been nice, pretty sure I was a few shades of purple from the massive belly hemoraging, couldn' t get it outta my nose, it was muchos much awful and kept on givin'..hey all them teef I keep in a cute lil' box are nice and white, can't much say 'bout the ones I swallered though
