I was interested in Guest Clint Keller's post. Half way through our first winter in Aklavik, NWT in 1968, we were not thriving well on our government rations of canned and dried goods. A kindly old Innuit couple felt sorry for us, especially our children, and came over with a generous helping of "Eskimo Icecream". It was a frozen delicacy, very rich, and delicious tasting. It was made from the tiny native blueberries and cranberries mixed with the chopped-up raw liver of fresh water ling cod (loshe).
    I guess huckleberries and Crisco would make a reasonable substitute, but not nearly as nutritious.
