And then there is grind, the pilot whales that are And then there is grind, the pilot whales that are eaten here, a lightning rod that has become the thing the Faroe Islands are most famous for. When I first posted on social media that I was coming here, I received comments horrified that I would travel to such a barbaric place. But is the Faroese whale hunt worse than the meat coming out of factory farms and mass slaughterhouses? As a student of traditional food practices, I do not feel that it is my place to condemn or to judge; I am here to learn. A few things that I have learned: People are eating much less whale than in the past, mainly due to mercury and other heavy metals that accumulate most heavily at the top of the ocean food chain. The whale hunting is a huge community event, with wide distribution of the bounty. @hjamaud told me that when she was a young single mother, participating in it helped her feed her kids. I was served fermented whale meat grind, and fermented blubber spik. The meat was tasty, with a texture similar to lean red meat, and a slightly fishy flavor; but the spik was especially luscious for someone who finds every kind of fat satisfying and delicious. I learned the English word for separating whale meat from the blubber and skin, flensing, only when the Canadian vegan punk band Propagandhi wrote a song about me called “Human(e) Meat (The Flensing of Sandor Katz)”. In the Faroese tradition, pieces of the whale meat are dry-aged like the mutton described in an earlier post. The blubber is brined or dry-salted. @johannaatj, who served us a wonderful meal featuring both grind and spik, told me that she prefers to age spik under a brine, because it better protects the fat from rancidity. If you are interested in learning more about the Faroese whale hunting tradition, from a wide range of perspectives, check out the excellent 2016 documentary “The Islands and the Whales.”
I've been posting a lot about traditional Faroese I've been posting a lot about traditional Faroese fermentation of meat and fish, but I'm here teaching workshops primarily focused on vegetable fermentation. Traditionally only a few vegetables are grown here but some farmers are trying to diversify. My host @sunnivagudmundsdottir and her organization @matkovin are promoting increased local food production. She took me to a farm on the island of Sandoy where in late February there were gorgeous carrots, kale, and kohlrabi. Today I'm teaching a hands-on workshop for farmers at an agricultural center. Several of them asked questions about fermenting at a larger scale and are thinking about trying it commercially as a value-added farm product.
