Rapaire:

I understand the need for fat calories under severe conditions. Read Mowat's book on the Canadian Inland Eskimos. However, my friend Joe grew up in Wales, Alaska in an ordinary house and never lived in such harsh circumstances. But what he gave me was nothing but fat in oil with some anonymous greens thrown in. He missed it because it was a link with home. In a pinch, he ate still frozen fish sticks dipped in Wesson Oil.
