And a tooth brush?  Or some other tool?

I find cattle horns regularly at Tandy Leather/Leather Factor, but their
personnel do not often have any idea what to do with them.  I tend to clean
them vigorously with soap and water and a bottle brush, let them dry
thoroughly and then seal them with EnviroTex, a two-part resin used for bar
tops and other food-safe surfaces.

Getting kids to eat fish voluntarily is going to be a tough uphill climb in
the US, probably.  Honey-lemonade as unfermented "mead" could work.  Maybe
some kind of lefse flatbread?  Preferably without potato, of course.  I
don't think even Lief Erikson got down to Peru.  <smile>
