- Fermented Little Auk seabirds, stuffed inside a seals and left under rocks for several months.... all part of a research trip that has taken me from The Faeroes to Iceland, Denmark & finally Greenland for my book. Out in 2022!!
I have to wonder who was the first person who saw these birds, saw a dead seal and decided "You know what, let's stuff these birds into this dead seal and come back in a couple of months to see how they taste like"
Hehe, yeah I know. Amazing stuff! 🤣
Jokes aside, probably it was more because they had lot of moments of hungriness and in despair, and then, "necessity is the mother of inventions".
Probably saw polar bears burying carcasses and evolved from there.
Or hunted a seal that ate couple birds, they ate the birds from seal’s stomach and started to mimic seals digestion by filling it full of birds. Only god knows.
Its an inuit dish, so they eat seals. One day they saw these birds and decided to eat them. This birds meat are chewy so it needs time and more energy to prepare, not worth it. So one day, they hunted these birds as emergency food. Probably thought theyll last long if fermented so they stuff them in seals. When harsh winter came they eat them and the birds became tender and tasty. So thats how probably they did it.
Thanks for this, I showed it to my 8th grade students after talking about this traditional food. Great to see it being eaten for real! Keep it up!
Ah that’s great to hear!!! Thank you
Your students might be traumated

Wow thanks for this. Love from Indonesia
Awesome video. I hope to do adventures like this one day as well.
absolute madlad
surprisingly very insightful! thanks for covering this!
Thank you!
Thanks for the video, looks like liver. Yum.
Very nice, thank you
I'd probably be hesitant to try it because it can kill you if it's not properly made. On the other hand I hate blue cheese but my culinary curiosity would egg me on to try a bite at least.
I'm also impressed you didn't mind the cold
Im so impressed he didnt throw out :)
You'd be good in a game show like Fear Factor.
I just learned today that this exist it's interesting too.
Cool man
Real man.
Thanks for the quick delve into kiviak. You mentioned it is not seasoned or prepared or all, but I was curious if this would actually compliment any dishes? How would you prepare it or incorporate it if so?
It’s usually eaten just straight - but you could use it in loads of dishes - shredded with a chutney, fried with onions and spices in a taco, shredded, buttered and pressed as a terrine… I’d love to spend some more time with it!
Wow! 😶
I was watching the very first episode of an anime called Moyashimon and they showed this Kiviak stuff and I was like "no way this is real" but here I am, looking at the real stuff...
I saw that! Will haveta grab a copy!
Really Nice to find this kind of information, you said that it smells really bad, but how much? Can you compare it to some “disguting-popular” things?
Thanks and good luck!
Smells like old road kill…..
Excellent. I've had various meats fermented in half full jars that are aired every few days but this is the real deal
good vid man pls keep it up
Thanks Henry!
Just another way of preserving food, no hard feelings . Gotta do what you gotta do mate , would love to try one day
no you fucking wouldn’t lmao
Indonesia im here
Brilliantly fascinating - was wondering about the implications for the temperate zones and how climate change may impact this way of life in the thawing North!
Looking like this, doesn't seem so bad...
It was ok!
learn something new everyday
Indonesia I'm here
2:08
I can't even pluck the feather...
Hehe 🤣
Press F
I watched a episode of food wars and some crazy character said this shyt was disgusting but good so I had to look it, looks nasty asf but I’d be willing to try it one day
I looked this up because of food wars as well lmfaoooo
Is it safe though
Yes it is, as long as it’s done the same way it’s always been done. It’s when you start mucking about with the process it can turn into a different, potentially harmful food.
Looked kiviac up after I saw it one tik tok ! Wow . We can eat anything ! By we I mean not me lol
🤣🤣
Just... Why ?
There's one Danish explorer died from food poisoning after eating those
Yeah, The story goes that Knud Rasmussen died from it.. 😳
It looks like gross (like surströmming) but I really would like to taste it! This is the one thing why I would like to travel to Greenland. The second; to get to know the Inuit people and their culture. I have always been fascinated by the culture of the Inuit and other similar Arctic people. (I don’t call them “Eskimos” because that name is an offensive term to them; means "raw meat eaters".) How can man survive in such bleak arctic conditions where farming is impossible? Why not get sick from an overly high-protein and high-fat diet that barely contains carbs? Why don't they get sick from consuming raw meat? (Why don't they get scurvy?) These are the questions that have made me interested in Inuit culture. It is amazing to me how these people were able to adapt to the harsh and cruel environment and thus live for millennia. As an european person, I could not be able to tolerate this diet. However, the Kiviak would be incredibly interested for me (similar to the Swedish Surströmming, the Icelandic Hakarl, the Egyptian Fesikh, the Japanese Kusaya, Narezushi or Shiokara). Anyway, I really like nature and animals. And while I was sorry when those tiny, cute birds (auks) and the unfortunate seals were killed (I saw this in a video), but I wasn’t angry at these people at all. This is because it is not a pleasure (possibly a business benefit) for them, but a way to survive. And nature dictates cruel laws to which man and animal must conform equally. I just wish long and happy live for Inuit people! ❤️🇬🇱
Well said, yes - it’s so interesting! And so very different from anything us Europeans have experienced!
I have eaten raw meat including an occasional partially rotted meat and have regrained a lot of health. I believe man really started cooking meat for the sake of taste but cooked meat gets all of its oils broken down into a semi- toxic state, and cooked vegetable oil is straight out poisonous glue!!!
How have they survived just on meat. Many do, especially if it is raw. The bacteria and virus boogieman myth pushed $Pharma and friends who usually poisons people sick. I am thinking as far as Vit C, that may be in the meat because most animals produce their own, but gets destroyed if cooked. I was shocked when I first heard people live on raw meat because was raised to think it was SO DANGEROUS!!!!, and that you had to even have separate cutting boards. Now I roll my eyes at such fear porn. I investigated this because now the vaccine Nazis are loading all the livestock of with MRNA crap. Can't end well. Was thinking perhaps fermenting the meat I eat a little would break down some of Fauci's toxic piss.
While you should definitely call people what they want to be called, that “raw meat eaters” etymology is very much disputed, being only one of the possible origins/meanings. There’s a lot of ambiguity about what the original words were and meant.
Absolutely disgusting. I will never understand why they simply don't bury it in the snow for months instead of fermenting. Or make a Jerky that will last. It just escapes me how anyone would've thought about doing THAT
If your post dinner breath doesn't make your girlfriend leave you, the smell of your fingers will for sure.
Haha
why eating?omg~
It’s fascinating how humans can find food in really harsh environments and ingenious how they preserve it for a long time!
@@Eatyourenvironment I totally understand but I just can't.
Remember folks , only use little auks, not eider duck or any kind of auk substitute. You may die!
kiviaq? it's better not eat anything and drink only water
That my friend is how people die. You need food to survive, they do what they have to
You do realize that this is not an actual thing and we are laughing at you as we make our way to the bathroom toilet to throw up.
Hehe, it felt very real to me… 🤣
😳
=IN ACTUAL THAT HORRIBLE RECIPE MUST BE FORGOTTEN AS A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE OF IT'S FROM TIMES WHERE THERE WAS NOTHING
=BUT NOW THERE'S NORMAL FOOD COOKING IS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE SO EVERYTHING LIKE THIS IS NOT ACTUAL AND WONT BE EVER=.....
It wouldn't persist today if they weren't at least a few people who genuinely enjoy eating it.

So disgusting 🤣
