I see that our ever-alert list has already discussed whale meat:

Google tells me the Florilegium has material on it too, but for a day now
when I try to get to it (from three different browsers), I get:

(The cached copy is a skeleton.)
I have now made my own contribution to the subject, focusing largely on the
hunting itself:

As for the meat (the blubber, really), if you don't want to have it with
peas, how about fried, with a little ginger-almond sauce?
