In the coldest Arctic Circle in the world, not only polar bears live, but also a strange group of human beings live here all the year round, that is, the Inuit, that is, Eskimos, who live in the Arctic Circle which is the most unsuitable for human habitation. The temperature here is below MINUS 30 degrees all the year round. There is endless snow around here, and there is no even the most basic day and night alternation. Therefore, Eskimos living here can only eat by collecting plant fruits, roots and young leaves, and they can't domesticate animals, so they can only hunt wild animals. There are many seals, whales, polar bears and fish living here. When they meet, Eskimos will try their best to kill these animals, but because they can't develop agriculture and animal husbandry, their food source is passive and can be said to depend on the weather.
But from another point of view, Eskimos are also used to eating delicacies, but the real thing is cold. When they get used to eating delicacies, they will want to eat other snacks. Eskimos set their sights on puffins, which only nest on cliffs in summer. They catch enough sea with nets on their limbs, but how can they store these sea crabs without a refrigerator? That is to use the biological storage method to hollow out the internal organs like a seal, and then forcibly squeeze out the air in the poster, so that seafood can be better stored and fermented inside. This method is a bit like our pickles, but the containers are different. However, before we pickle pickles, we will carefully clean the surface of vegetables. But pickled puffins are different. He stuffed it into the seal's stomach without help. In order to prevent excess air from running into the belly of the poster, it was not only stitched, but also coated with a lot of grease. Finally, it was put in a snow pit and preserved with stones.
You can think about sea crabs preserved with animals or what they taste like. Sea crabs in summer, Eskimos will reveal this taste to you in winter. When they cut open the belly of the poster, others might as well go as far as possible except to attract the locals in the gastrointestinal tract, because the smell going straight to the top of your head may make you die on the spot, which is worse than going to the toilet 100 times. Canned herring stinks dozens of times, and the taste is not affordable for ordinary people. It's comparable to the sea crab preserved by chemical and biological weapons, but it's darker, and it's no different from when it was put in.
Eskimos not only take out pickled sea crabs to eat, but it is even more difficult to understand when there are VIPs or large weddings at home. Even after the flood, puffins are still raw, and they suck fat directly. After a long period of pickling, the meat and internal organs in the sea area become mushy and can be eaten whole with a light inhalation. People who have eaten puffins say that although it smells really bad, it becomes an extremely fresh taste as soon as it enters, which makes people want to eat it again. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I believe that people who try to pickle puffins for the first time must have great courage. How do you feel after reading it?
