Bet you weren't expecting this. This, my friends, is akutaq. Or perhaps you'd like to call it aqutuk. Or ackutuk. In other words, Eskimo ice cream."The Inuit people of Alaska have a distinct version of ice cream. It's not creamy ice cream as we know it, but a concoction made from reindeer fat or tallow, seal oil, freshly fallen snow or water, fresh berries, and sometimes ground fish. Air is whipped in by hand so that it slowly cools into foam. They call this Arctic treat akutaq, aqutuk, ackutuk, or Eskimo ice cream."
I'm postively absolutely extracalifragiulaterously NOT having this tonight. Or ever. Read more at http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Akutaq_EskimoIceCream.htm
Whoever actually makes this and eats it has to be nuts. No offense meant to the Inuit people, but I much prefer modern day, supermarket ice cream. If any one has the guts to try this without puking, post a comment.
