Hello Jenny--yes it is indeed nice to chat with a fellow northerner (always a pleasure meeting people who don't have to be told where Yellowknife or the Northwest Territories are.) I haven't had enough Muktuk to be able to decide whether I like it or not. It is certainly different. What I like the best is Inuit style fried bannock. Mmmmm.

Bob--you're right; the Inuit do eat a lot of fish. By the way, the Northern Salmon is actually called 'Arctic Char' up here. It is my favourite northern fish, I must admit. Nevertheless, the Inuit used to eat a good deal of whale, seal, walrus, and caribou, amongst other things.

Now, of course, they get a lot of 'western' food as well. I am sorry to say MacDonalds and Kentuck Fried Chicken are favourite eateries amongst northerners. Although those chains are only available in our capital city of Yellowknife, many people from the Arctic communities place bulk orders of their hamburgers and fried chicken to be flown up on a regular basis.
