#夏日生活打卡季 #
There is a poem by the famous poet Yu Guang called "Morning of the New World", which has a particularly beautiful mood:
Wind, from Greenland.
With the coming of the skaters,
Slid down the glass plains of the Great Lakes.
Soon we will receive,
From the bags of these messengers,
Many Christmas cards sent by the Eskimos.
Winds from the Arctic, Greenland and Eskimos, the combination of the three elements makes people immediately immersed in the white frozen world, so that it is sorcery and mysterious.
Greenland is the largest island in the world, with about 3/4 of the area within the Arctic Circle, with temperatures below 0°C throughout the year and the coldest reaching -70°C. 80% of the island's inhabitants are Eskimos.
In the icy greenland, vegetables, fruits, poultry and livestock and other common human food is difficult to grow and survive, so what do the Eskimos living in Greenland eat?
Eskimos, or "raw meat eaters," are insulting, so Eskimos prefer to call themselves Inuit. Because Inuit means "real people." (The Eskimos are collectively referred to as the Inuit below))
Inuit. The short stature can withstand the cold, the slender eyes prevent the stimulation of ice and snow reflexes, and the hooked nose of the eagle prevents damage to the respiratory system by cold air
Thousands of years ago, the Inuit migrated to the vicinity of the Arctic, and their tenacious vitality allowed them to continue to multiply. It is now mainly scattered around Canada, Greenland and Alaska. The Inuit are yellow, but in order to adapt to the harsh and cold climatic conditions of the Arctic, they are different in appearance from the traditional yellows: short stature, thick subcutaneous fat, slender eyes, and eagle hook nose.
Inuit people eat raw meat and animal fat for a living, because of the lack of sunlight and cold weather, vegetables and fruits can not grow in the Arctic, and raw meat is rich in vitamins, so eating raw meat can prevent Inuit people from suffering from sepsis.
The Inuit diet consisted mainly of seals, puffins, reindeer and whales.

They have a famous dish called Pickled Puffin, which is recognized as one of the world's top dark dishes.
The ingredients for pickled puffins are puffins and seals.

The production process is dark and can cause discomfort.
The captured puffins are placed directly into the seal's belly without any treatment. A seal can pickle hundreds of puffins in its belly.

The seal's belly is then sutured and the sea leopard's fat is applied to the suture to insulate the air.
Bury the seals in stone and marinate them for 3 months – 2 years, and eat as you go.

Rich in vitamins and minerals, pickled puffins were an important energy supplement for the Eskimos in cold environments and the entire food of the Inuit in winter.
When eating, without cooking, I directly plucked the fur of the puffin and swallowed it raw. Before raw swallowing, most Inuit people will suck puffins from their anus and mouth into broth-like offals after fermentation. This is the essence that has been nurtured by the fermentation power over several months!

For the Inuit, pickled puffins are a high-class dish, equivalent to the dumplings we eat for the Whole Man and the New Year. What can be enjoyed with VIPs is the first choice on major days such as New Year's Festivals and happy events.
The human life force is really terriblely tenacious.
Survival is not easy, and do and cherish! Drink a cup of milk tea to suppress a shock!
