Ummm,how do you render 'butter' from caribou antlers?Sounds fascinating.... Beer is proof that God loves us,and wants us to be happy-B. Franklin | |||

Collect all the caribou antlers you can find. Just stack 'em up and wait for one of those days when it's too damned cold to even consider traveling or working outside. Get you a fire going, and a big ol' kettle of water boiling. Cut up those antlers into knife-handle size chunks and start boiling 'em. Then boil 'em some more. Then some more. Throw a few more sticks on the fire and boil 'em even longer. After a good long time skim off the fat (the butter), pour out the water and give the remaining antler chunks to the dogs. It's an old Gold-Rush trick. With a bit of salt the fat from the antlers tastes and spreads like dairy butter. “A good dog is so much a nobler beast than an indifferent man that one sometimes gladly exchanges the society of one for that of the other.” (William Francis Butler) | |||

That's one'a those things that make you say "How in the world did anyone come up with that?".Does this work for other kinds of deer? Beer is proof that God loves us,and wants us to be happy-B. Franklin | |||

I'd speculate that one of those late 19th century prospectors either learned the trick from Natives who had been through starving times, or was desparate and near starvation himself. “A good dog is so much a nobler beast than an indifferent man that one sometimes gladly exchanges the society of one for that of the other.” (William Francis Butler) | |||

Man, you guys are missing out. Lutefisk, potatoes and pickled herring. That is what civilized people eat. anything worth shooting is worth shooting once. | |||

I'm of the opinion that Lutefisk is the longest running practical joke going.From an entire culture on the rest of the world! Beer is proof that God loves us,and wants us to be happy-B. Franklin | |||

I've never eaten Lutefisk, but like most processed and stored foods, it helped stave off hunger while keeping the food safe. Most cultures developed all sorts of fermented products like pickles and kraut. I have a book on eskimo foods in Alaska. Recipes were very site specific and preparing one in another location could result in botulism. Very interesting recipes berries and leaves fermented in seal stomaches and such. | |||

My dad grew up eating it and got me going on it. We never miss the annual dinner. We each did one full platter last year. anything worth shooting is worth shooting once. | |||

First time on this forum and already I've found a thread that I like! Mine would have to be Akkee and Saltfish, with hardo bread, callaloo, boiled egg and pickapepper sauce. Or a Full English fryup... Bacon, lincolnshire sausages, beans, fried tomato, fried egg, fried mushrooms, fried bread, hash browns, toast and lots of tea! | |||

Meat, red meat cooked over coals and still bleedin'. And any beer from Dechutes brewery. Last uncivilized meal would probably be coyote or cockroaches 'cause they'll probably survive longest. | |||

Homemade venison sausage, made with maple bacon, and a scramble of eggs, and fried potatos. Here in the North Country, our diet demands venison, or moose at least once a day! " You do with your scalp as you wish and don't be telling us what to with ours." | |||
