Thank you. I was not aware of this distinction. I knew is was regurgitated, but was not aware it contained a waxy componant. I thought is was just the indegestable bits of things that had been eaten, or something that had made the whale sick.
What would the modern cook use as a substitute? I did check out the link sent, but I surely can not afford that kind of price for something that I may not even find to my likeing.
