FROM MY HEALTHY LIVING ;-)

Joint of Whale Meat Steeped in Red Wine Marinade

6-8 portions:
1 1/4 kilos of whale meat
3 dl red wine
1 dl vegetable oil
3 ground cloves
1/2 teaspoonful of coarsly ground pepper
2 teaspoonfuls of salt


The Marinade
3/4 litres of juices from the meat Thickening (milk and flour) 4
dessert spoonfuls of sour cream (20% rømme) Sugar colouring Salt

It may be a good idea to bind the joint to help it keep in good shape.
Place it in a small oven dish and pour the marinade over. Leave the
joint there until the next day, turning it at regular intervals.
Remove the joint from the dish, dry it well and rub it with salt. Cook
the joint until it turns a pleasant brown colour all over, turn down
the heat and add water to reach 2-3 cm up the side of the joint,
approx. 3/4 litre. Let the joint simmer for about 20 minutes, turn it
over and leave it for another 20 minutes. Measure enough of the juices
to make enough marinade, about 3/4 litre. Add the thickening to the
marinade, and then the sour cream to taste. Serve with boiled beans or
other vegetables, and potatoes - boiled or fried in the pan

<provoc x post to whale group snipped>

Ive been given two unreliable opinions on whale meat. One from MIL who
cooked it during WW2 and one from someone possibly trolling.

One said like tuna, the other said inedible. Any idea which it is?

Not that i'm going to eat any or buy anything from resuming whaling
countries.

Not at all like tuna, and edible is a variable concept, some cuts can be
better than others, it is a mammal after all.

None of that. Its read meat, more like a beef, with a taste of wildmeat....and its healthy.

I eat mostly meat from mink whale. its from legal hunting. The hunting
quote is 1000 animals in one year out of 130 000.
So my conscience is clear :-)

I'll second that.

Around here we eat both bowhead whales and belugas. --

My uncle when he ran a cafe during the war, used to serve it, I can't
remember what it tasted like but it was quite edible.
