    I find this so fascinating! Here in Nigeria in the street markets many struggle to keep meat from rotting due to the heat from the sun, but in Yakutia it seems keeping meat fresh is not a problem since the atmosphere is one big freezer❄

      All arctic natives, inuit included, eat raw carnivore diet mostly of raw reindeer and fish. In book "carnivore code", the science of carnivore diet is well explained. Once passed infant mortality stage, these people have incredible longevity, many living above age 100. With high fat calorie food, people can survive well here. Also all animal species brain volume, including human here, are the largest in the world in this cold climate region. High intelligence is needed to survive here for all animal species in such hush environment. Check human brain volume world atlas which is associated with average annual temperature. These people have average brain volume 1500cc.

    It is good to see that salamat is also eaten in Yakutia. I am from Udmurtia, and we also eat a dish with a similar name. True, the recipe for our salamata is very different from the Yakut one. I recently wrote a short essay on Medium "Salamata - The Survival Udmurt Dish of the War" about how that dish helped my grandmother survive during the Second World War.

      The Japanese come to Yakutia periodically. Yakut foal, it stands out from the meat of horses. They carried out a lot of research in the areas where the stages of space rockets fell. During the research, it was found that Yakut horses are absolutely not exposed to radiation and help the body fight it.

    LOVE your channel! It popped in to my "suggested" videos, probably because I view and study cultures all over the world and have traveled abroad several times.
    I'm originally from central Alaska, now in far West Texas.
    A few years ago a former colleague of mine (he being from Romania) somehow got on the topic of the coldest cities / towns in the world. Of course Yakutia became the center of our discussion and of course comparing the Yakutian winter with that of central Alaska. I must have spent several days studying a little bit about Yakutia and marveling at how the people have adapted to the environment.
    Fast forward to today, it's SO COOL 👍 to stumble upon your channel!
    Needless to say winter here in far West Texas is, well, can I even call it winter? I miss the cold and am hoping for a good snow so I can go backpacking in to the local mountains for two or three days.
    I look forward to seeing more of your videos and learning more about Yakutia! By the way, I can only imagine the flavors of the frozen raw fish and other meats. FANTASTIC for sure.
    CHEERS! PEACE and be well! And may you and ALL your loved ones have a blessed Christmas! 🙏🙏🙏

    I find it so fascinating what cultures consider “traditional” food, often tied to survival and what the surrounding land offers.
    Nowadays the meaning is much broader with our huge variety of foods, and sometimes having no ancestral meaning (like eating turkey).
    We eat a lot of Korean dishes, and there are many similarities here and with Mongolian dishes. Many ingredients are subsistence dishes, like pickled veggies, fish and meats with few preparations (bbq).
    The pepper powder often associated with Korean food / soups is actually a modern import and traditionally the food was very basic and tied very much to survival in a land poor in agriculture (roots, root vegetables, greens mostly) and rice was a luxury.
