"We face extreme danger. Unless there is immediate intervention on every front by all the major powers acting in concert, we risk a disintegration of global finance within days. Nobody will be spared, unless they own gold bars or wood lures"

sounds like a plan for world domination.

a seal in every pot!

we should adopt best practices ... like our neighbors to the north do.

The first question you will not have is about the wine; but it was one that occurred to me after I left Réjean Lachapelle's butcher shop, Gival, in the Atwater market with a quarter kilo of fresh seal meat.

After all, seal is a dark meat, as black and shiny as anthracite, so red wine seems appropriate. On the other hand, it comes from the sea, so white wine with sea food, no?

But that is probably not the question you are asking yourself now.

First, you may be surprised that fresh seal meat is available in Montreal. Réjean has it regularly. Last week he had a shipment from his wife's home, in Iles de la Madeleine.

Gival is a specialty butcher shop. That's what the sign says on the market wall. The word "specialty" when adjacent to the word "butcher" should set off a little warning bell. In Quebec, it is often code for a seller of horse meat.

Gival sells horse; and also grain fed chickens, smoked lamb, boar paté, terrines of bison mixed with crushed oranges and cranberries, their own smoked salmon - just what you'd expect if Radisson and des Groseillers were your neighbourhood purveyors.

In this company, seal isn't a total surprise, but I wouldn't expect to see it at Provigo soon. Gival sells it for $27.99 a kilo, near the elk steaks ($64.99 a kilo) and caribou ($40.00 a kilo). At those prices the blueberry and wild boar sausages ($1.79 a piece) look like a bargain.

Frankly, a small amount of game goes a long way. This is meat with an intense flavor and little or no fat. Seal has the texture of steak and tastes like mild beef liver. It's not bad fried with onions, grinds up nicely for meat balls to simmer in a spicy tomato sauce, and holds its shape in a basic Iles de la Madelaine four root (onions, carrots, potatoes, and turnip) stew.

The black colour is a magnificent counterpoint to the red of the tomato sauce or the subtle orange, gold and white of the vegetables. Nature has provided for an incredible spectrum of food colours but black is sorely lacking. Purely from aesthetics, seal meat makes for an unusual addition to the table. However, this was probably not what you were thinking of either.

You might be wondering "why would he eat the stuff?" I could answer "in the interests of science" or that "this is the type of important investigative inquiry for which journalists enter the profession." This is all, of course, true; but I did not do it merely in the interests of science and The Gazette does not have "Lazar will eat seal meat" in my contract.

And it is not just because I am worried that the economy will not survive unless we support Canadian industries and our natural resources. There are abysmally few jobs for those in eastern Quebec and the Maritimes. Inuit could use the income and Newfoundlanders are facing another fishless year. Why not help a great many people by switching to a diet of nutritious, no fat seal meat?

Seal, a favorite of Inuit, the meat that could ease Maritimers out of the UIC line, a dish that is less dangerous to our national health than turbot is about to make the jump from "bas" to haute" cuisine. When this happens, a fundamental question will have to be answered.

In the interests of science and to help the economy, I can now tell you the answer. It's not bad with white and it's fine with a full-bodied red; but it is perhaps most memorable as it was once served to me in Newfoundland, with copious amounts of extremely potent rum.

Nebe · 10-07-2008, 11:03 AM

I have eaten seal in canada. It was pretty good, but oily. Id call it the bluefish of the meat dept.

GattaFish · 10-07-2008, 11:50 AM

They should harvest millions of seals and feed the hungry around the world with them,,,,

The first condition of any monetary reform is to halt the printing pressess....[the Central Bank] should not create credit to increase the amount of its notes, not covered by gold or foreign money, or to raise the sum of its outstanding liabilities. Should it release any gold or foreign money from its reserves, then it must reduce to that same extent the circulation or the use of its obligations in transfers.

Absolutely no evasions of these conditions should be tolerated.

I've nominated my assistant tattoobob to the role of chief researcher.
He's been outstanding in screening and bringing forth the proper candidates for further research.

I promise, no scrub brush or caribou barbies. Just the finest cougar from Malibu, Newport, Newport Beach, and Vail.

I will let Dr Nebe have the floor to discuss his current agenda.

Now I must get back to my research. My secretary was a bit top heavy, I must closely investigate this situation. Its of dire importance before I go to Egypt to talk to their secretary of war about uh, belly dancers. Carry on!

As secretary of the interior, I will propose a 9 billion dollar bail out plan for half of the hot single chicks out there.
Why you ask?

because the other half will be begging on the door of Nebe

I know where you can find a fishing friendly geologist cheap...
Minister of Science and Climate Change perhaps?
Likwid had me at boobies

dangit, where's my blue dress?

minister likwid, did you send it to the cleaners to get that custard stain out?

UserRemoved1 · 10-10-2008, 05:31 PM

WEEWEE That article you posted I don't remember which thread it was but I thought it a good read. I was reading an article tonite talking about a possible floor at 50% what is your campaign view on this?

Also this was a reply to the article.

"Did you notice that every time the TV reports on money supply the picture of the printing press comes out? Well folks the Founding Fathers kick themselfs for not forseeing the concept of paper money (a PROMISE to pay for real goods with worthless paper). You try to do that and you will end up in the slammer. There is no hope in sight till the measuring tape for wealth is made of metal not promises. Till then 2 plus 2 will add up to whatever you the government woud like it to be."

FISH POOPOO FOR PRESIDENT!

Oh and Ben that's not custard that dripped

fishpoopoo · 10-11-2008, 11:38 AM
