The answer to the salient question of how on earth the Eskimo could survive without the singular taste of cheese. This is one artisanal cheese that might not make it past U.S. Customs. Ah ha!

On Christmas day I was at the house of friends, and it turned out that one of their friends, also present, had eaten this very dish, although it was made with only one flock of birds and a seal. He said it tasted almost exactly like blue cheese, and was very tender, almost buttery. But no, he is not eager to try it again. Mr. Henry, I got you a Christmas present.

Mr. Henry had forgotten to wait "two years or so" before serving. That must be the secret to tenderness. raincoaster, you are an angel.

Mr. Henry had forgotten to wait “two years or so” before serving. That must be the secret to tenderness.

Including an old copy of The Joy of Cooking, which has this very recipe. I present it here for your future use: <i>We are indebted to an Arctic explorer for the following Eskimo recipe for a frozen dinner: "Kill and gut a medium-sized walrus. Net several flocks of small migrating birds and remove one specific small feather from each wing. Store birds whole in interior of walrus. Sew up walrus and freeze. Two years or so later, find the cache - if you can - notify clan of a feast, partially thaw walrus. Slice and serve." Simplicity itself.</i> I love house-sitting; you get to read everyone else’s books.

I was thinking maybe a flock is 4 and 20, you know like "Sing A Song Of Sixpence"? Why only remove one feather? Well, this unbalances the wings so if the birds try to escape, the most they can manage to do is fly in circles. Hey, it might be true. How many birds in a flock?

Should he ever find himself faced with such practical cooking issues, Mr. Henry would surely elect to follow the recipe as written. He is not about to mukuluk around with genuine Eskimo cuisine.

I mean, if we're going for the benefits of cartilidge, we may as well go whole hog - or walrus, as the case may be. Why, pray tell, remove only one feather from each wing?

It will be a disaster if I don't have the right amounts. And exactly how many birds make up a flock?
