Raw caribou meat anyone?
"Over the last few days, I have done some extraordinary things," Food writer Stefan Gates says on the BBC's website. "I have eaten raw ringed seal, raw caribou meat and raw Beluga whale skin. And to cap it all, I have dismembered a walrus. "
This is old-hat for Gates. Known as the "Gastronaut," he ate fat-tailed sheep testicles in Afghanistan and sampled canine cuisine with "Dr. Dogmeat" in South Korea for earlier episodes of this decidedly unorthodox food show. (Gates has a personal blog with lots of photos. YouTube has video clips from his recent trips.)
This time the BBC sent Gates to live in "a tiny, isolated and increasingly smelly survival hut deep inside the Arctic Circle" for a TV series called "Cooking in the Danger Zone." He is reporting on the lives of the Inuit people and the effects that climate changes have had on their communities in the northernmost parts of Canada.
Gates is pretty extreme, but what's the most unusual thing that you've eaten?
