How to cook Moose-nose:
In most Alaska Native villages, moose meat is an important part of social events and funerals. Often the soft parts of the moose, including the liver and the coveted nose, go to village elders, said Mr. Dunham, who is not Native but whose school teacher parents raised him in the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta on the west coast of Alaska.
The nose, which can be about the size of a volleyball, is shaved, much the same way bristles are removed from a pig. A sharp knife will do the job, but a disposable razor like a Bic also works, Mr. Dunham said. Then the nose is boiled in salt water for several hours. The result, he said, is not unlike beef tongue.
“You can cube it and add to soup with noodles and rice or whatever is in the pantry,” he said. “It does get quite gelatinous and tender.”
Something about shaving a volleyball with a Bic just doesn’t do it for me. I’ll stick to cheesesteaks.
You want fries with that?
In comparison to some of the “food” put in front of me while I was working in various areas in the interior of China in the early 1990’s, moose nose sounds positively delectable.
It was often a true culinary adventure. I still shudder when I close my eyes and recollect some of it.
Wow, just thinking about that makes me nauseous!
this is one the most pressing issues in this campaign.
The gelatinous texture would be enough to make me go vegan.
How about sheep’s head, including eye:
In Iraq among the Bedouin, the sheep’s eye is considered a delicacy, and is offered to the guest of honour. I know ’cause it happened to me.
different indigenous cultures have made use of all parts of an animal when hunted, not sure what the point is to stand on the outside and denigrate what has probably been happening for centuries in that region.
meh.
It’s grosses me out.
It doesn’t mean that I’m denigrating them to point out that I don’t find it appetizing.
fair enough.
That’s only because you’re in denial about how they make your cheeezesteaks.
Moose nose is also a great place for Sarah Palin’s kids to hide their drugs.
I grew up on a factory farm. Saw enough there that I haven’t had meat in 20+ years. Moosenose sounds no less appealing than cheesesteaks. It’s all dead animal.
