Kook for Budget -
Minded Mothers
By Hal Boyle
NF-W YORK /P* - - Suppose you
'V' • having a distinguished Eskimo
to dinner, and you found out his
favorite dishes wore walrus stew
and boiled owl.
Would you know how to go

Or supose this very important
Eskimo hinted that he doted most
on bear feet or soured seal liver.
Would you know how to prepare
these tempting far northern deli
The four most popular literary
topics today seemingly are diet
ing, the Hydrogen Bomb, the Civil
War, and cook books of all kinds.
Perhaps the perfect title for a
best-seller today would be “how to
lose weight while cooking the Civil
War over a Hydrogen Bomb.”
But while the market has been
flooded with cook books, the fine
old culinary skills found in Arctic
Circle igloos have been overlooked
completely.
This lack has been remedied by
the publication of a small paper
backed cook book of age-old Es
kimo recipes. The students of
Shishmaref Day School in Shish
maref, Alaska, got the recipes
from their mothers.
Eskimo cookery is simplicity it
self. and any harried American
housewife wanting to fix a quick
easy meal for her family might
find this receipc for frozen floun
ders just the answer for her prob
lem:
“After flounders are caught, let
them freeze. Eat as much as you
want of it."
The dish has another advantage
for budget-minded wives —- it cuts
down the gas bill.
Now about that walrus stew:
"Cut the walrus in small pieces
and also cut up the skin and
blubbt :. Then put them togethei
in a pot to boil. Add salt and
water.”
As for that boiled owl:
"Take feathers off from owl.
Throw away feathers. Clean owl
and put in cooking pot. Have lots
of water in pot. Add salt to taste.”
“Most of the people like the
bear feet better than the meat,"

the cook book observes. “We cook J
them well, add salt. Four feet ;
would take about one teaspoon of
salt. Take them out of the pot. and ■
let them get cool. Eat them with |
seal oil.”
To appreciate the taste thrill I
i of soured seal liver requires a j
palate truly educated to the nu- J
ances of Eskimo cooking.
| The student who submitted this
1 recipe said:
“Soured seal liver is made in
the summertime. Place liver in
enamel pot or dish and cover with
! blubber. Put in a warm place for
1 a few days until sour. Most of the
boys and girls don’t like it. ex
i cept the grown-ups and old people.
I don't like it either.”
The best way to top off a na- j
j five meal, naturally, is with Eski- 1
! mo ice cream, made as follows:
“Grate reindeer tallow into
small pieces. Add seal oil slowly
while beating with hand. While
j whipping, continue adding seal oil
and water until white and fluffy.
! Any berries can be added to it."
j The cook book was prepared by
students to raise funds for handi
capped children. You can get a
copy by sending GO cents to the
: Alaska Crippled Children’s Assn.,
at Anchorage, Alaska.
