    Huh. I must confess, as a American I know all of jack and shit about whaling and such given we don’t eat whale like that over here. Not even our ruling class eats whale.

    …What does whale taste like?

      When it’s grilled, whale tastes like if tuna was a mammal. It’s firm and quite lean and vaguely fishy, but in a way you can’t really put your finger on and isn’t really a bother. When stewed, it’s basically like beef but shittier. It’s got this lovely deep dark red colour and is kinda weird because you can’t follow or find any sinew or sort of “shape” to the meat because it’s taken off such a large animal. It’s just this chunk of meat you can’t really identify where on the animal it’s from.

      Also I kinda assumed you’d have some whale knowledge because I assumed that you were an American and as an American you were forced to read Moby Dick in class because that’s like the great American novel or at very least pretended to read the cliffnotes on it and gotten the idea that it’s a great and violent chase across the Atlantic for money and revenge, and not like a small crew in a fishing boat in a fjord with a grenade harpoon

        Most of us don’t read classics anymore. I always hated Moby Dick; it sucks so bad.

        I know what little I know from watching nature documentaries and I think it’s the same with other Americans. Most of us never get to see an actual whale in our lives, let alone eat any.
