The
culinary culture of Greenland is closely linked to strong social
solidarity of the old community of hunters, for which was of vital need
shared the game. The Arctic climate and the natural environment makes
the Greenlandic cuisine unique, the basic ingredients consist of fish,
poultry, game (walrus, reindeer, partridges, seal and whale) and wild
berries. The national dish is the
suaasat, seal boiled meat with rice and onions. Another
specialty is the mattak,
whale skin with a thin layer of fat, is eaten raw cut into squares. For
our palates are probably more suitable dishes like muskox, lamb cutlets,
the smoked whale meat, or lamb sausage. The whale meat (arvik) served
with roasted brown onions or boiled potato is a delicious dish. Among
the fish dishes are the most common smoked fish, mussels, redfish
fillet, marinated trout, and shrimp. |
