Muskrat stew. Told a friend about my posting here and he sent me this. Was a pot of stew he had at a party on the reservation.

[-]

Plant-Based_Native@reddit

Very heavily meat-based too. Can't survive on bannock and berries alone as a native vegan so I venture to town once in a while.

[-]

do you mind if i ask what lead you to becoming vegan? as you said since native foods can often be reliant on meats and hunting so im curious to hear your thinking, but no worries if you prefer not to respond

[-]

Plant-Based_Native@reddit

It was weight loss at the start. I was over 320 lbs at my heaviest when I became vegetarian in late 2019. Decided to commit to the animal rights movement by going fully vegan. I really want to see the buffalo return to freely roaming North America again. I eat a lot of bannock with nutritional yeast and wild berries. Still alive 6 years later lol. With inflation in Canada I can really understand why people still preferring hunting and I respect and maintain my boundaries with my family. I get a lot of jokes and questions.

[-]

Vegetable-Bowl2462@reddit

Very. The native Alaskan diet is heavily seal, whale, moose, birds, fish… nothing quite like it. My gramma once had me try whale blubber dipped in rendered seal oil. I prefer the berries and fish, haha

[-]

Figgy_Puddin_Taine@reddit

the two distinct native Alaskan foods I know off the top of my head are the fat mixed with berries and the ominously-named stink heads lol

Awesome. Learned a new word! Thank you!

[-]

Figgy_Puddin_Taine@reddit

I think that was from farther east and south, but yeah, there was a freaking war fought over pemmican due to its importance.

[-]

WormWithGoodIntent@reddit

Right I think a lot of foods with the same idea were grouped under the pemmican label. Afaik they all originated in native cultures though.

[-]

Vegetable-Bowl2462@reddit

My aunties love stink heads. I prefer the agutaq (whipped fish, fat, sugar, and berries)

Thank you. Luckily most of my family got away with minor damage as they’re further inland (Y/K region) but the Kipnuk and Kwig folks have been heavy on my mind all week.

It has been wholesome to see native foods being provided for them. Not sure if they got any flipper but looks like they got some good stuff! I’m sure it’s nice to have some comfort in that way.

[-]

AlaskanAsAnAdjective@reddit

Oh good. I keep imagining what it would be like to be in your home with your whole family, floating away, not knowing whether you’ll come to rest on land or at the bottom of the Bering Sea. Scary stuff. Glad your folks are okay!

I'm Minnesotan, and I actually enjoy lutefisk on the rare occasion I happen to be somewhere that is serving it. Kinda similar, but thjey don't bury it anymore. It's basically fish that is fermented in lye, and then rinsed a whole ton so you don't chemical burn your tongue off. It smells like absolute rotten fish death, and has a kinda jello consistency

That pot of thick deliciousness has what to do with anything that goes on in your head?

And apparently both the OP AND creator of deliciousness have Native status cards...so yes, they can kill anything that annoys them.

[-]

Looks like gumbo to my Cajun eyes. Instead of muskrat, we’d probably use nutria or gator or turtle. Most people only know about chicken or seafood gumbo, but my maw maw straight up made soup out of a turtle we found in the ditch once. She also had Hanson’s disease bc she grew up eating armadillos.

To all the people getting grossed out. This is very popular in Asian cuisine. My aunt would go to town on a fish head.

[-]

CashWrecks@reddit

There's s Thai version of that is like to cook that's done by stuffing with herbs and aromatics, steaming in water with a touch of soy/fish sauce/oyster sauce on the fish, and finishing by covering it with chopped chili and garlic and pouring hot oil over the whole thing
