Dinner: 300-500 Raw Auk Birds Stuffed inside a Seal Carcass and Then Fermented for a Year



Don't come to the table late or you'll miss your chance! Kivaq is a Greelandic meat dish that you'll never forget. Start by emptying the body cavity of a seal. Stuff inside a few hundred raw auk birds, feathers and all. Sew it up and cover the seams with fat. Let it sit under rocks for three to eighteen months. Serves eight.
