Whale Stew

1 (105 ton) blue whale
7,326 lb. potatoes
2,276 lb. carrots
104 lb. salt
52 gal. Tabasco sauce
1,896 lb. onions, thinly sliced
1,908 gal. tomato sauce
927 lb. celery
76 lb. black pepper

Place whale in pot with tomato sauce. Cook at 300 degrees for 4 hours.
All remaining ingredients. Simmer for 36 hours. Serves 347,161. If you
care for hare in your stew, add 1 (2 pound) rabbit!

OR


1 med. size whale, cut into bite size
pieces
5 tons Alaskan potatoes
1 ton salt
1 snowshoe rabbit
2 truck loads carrots
17 gross ostrich eggs
6 drums (55 gal.)
Chili pepper

Mix all, except eggs, in Olympic size pool. Fill with non-chlorinated
water. Heat to a boil. Simmer 3 weeks. If it appears stew may not serve
entire group. Catch and skin 1 snowshoe rabbit and add to stew. This
requires caution as some people dislike hare in their food. Serves 5,000 -
10,000.

Well, the first whale meat that I ate, I cooked lightly
and ate it with a salid. The next day I told the lady
that gave it to me that I'd cooked and eaten it... she
said "You *cooked* it???"

That particular cut, here, is commonly eaten frozen,
raw.

But a couple days ago I had a tourist in tow, and we
were having lunch at a local restaurant. The owner is
Korean, and he is a fabulous cook. He brought out a
plate that had slices of very dark meat, about 1/4"
thick, most of them about 1" x 2" in size. There were
onions, jalipeno peppers, and mushrooms mixed in. I had
to ask what it was (it looked like one particular Korean
dish with beef, but this guy makes everything look
"fancy", so it's hard to say most of the time). It was
bowhead whale meat.

The tourist ate some of it, but he only likes meat if it
is cooked enough to be "crispy".

Well... I ate the whole thing! Burp!

I know there used to be a recipe in the Joy of Cooking. I don't own it.
Perhaps someone who does will look it up for you and post it.
