In Belgium, the craving for fries strike, everywhere. Every town and village has at least one 'friterie', or 'frituur' as the stalls are called in Flanders. They serve the fried potatoes wrapped in a piece of paper without any enhancement than salt and maybe a hearty click mayonnaise.
But that's not all. A year ago the regional parliament of Flanders decided that the fried potatoes are a cultural heritage.
And recently took René Collin, agriculture minister in the Walloon part of the country, another step. He believes that UNESCO, the UN agency for culture and education, will classify 'Les frites' as a World Heritage.

One of the foods I especially miss from my days in Germany are
Pommes Frittes* mit Mayo. Yum!

Here in the States the mayo tastes much different and doesn't go
well with french fries.

*I have no idea if I spelled Pommes Frittes correctly.

What, no muktuk?

Have you tried it?

Yes!

Yes!

It might not be bad fried, but raw doesn't appeal to me.

Oh, I never heard of it being eaten that way.
You must understand that it is not like bacon.
I am one of those people who like the taste
of cod liver oil, so muktuk was a very delightful
experience for me.

Isn't it chewy?

Yes. I have heard of it being described as
chewing gum for Inuit, but you can swallow it.

I think you loose all the C vitamin if cooked.
Both whales and fishes contains that and thats because inuits and northern siberians eat it raw.

True:(
That goes for all animals living in the sea.
The fishes caught in the Baltic Sea for instance.
Health department recommend you not to eat fish every day.
Dioxins and PCBs are stored in fatty tissues for years.

Big time in the St Lawrence river. The Beluga there are in
great danger. I would not condone hunting of that population.

I'm sorry but it ranks right up there with what my Dad calls fish bait.

I ate whale meat, back around 1957. It seemed like liver, with a fishy taste.
No more, thank you. It was cooked, I might add.

I'm just not a sushi person, but I'll try most anything as long as it's not moving.
