Hunting and Eating Whale!! Europe’s Most Controversial Food!!

[@BestEverFoodReviewShow]

YES, this is a repost. KZbin removed the original video after it had already amassed 4 million views. The reasons are complicated, boring and dumb, but I’ll explain. We used some footage from a channel that labeled it as “Creative Commons” meaning anyone can use it in their edit. Then we got a copyright strike on the channel for using that footage. It turns out, the footage we used wasn’t Creative Commons. Some KZbin channel had just reloaded this footage and labeled it as such. Sadly, this means youtube’s Creative Commons labeling system is useless, because anyone can just load someone else’s footage and label it as such. So, in order not to waste our extraordinary effort in making this video, we’ve reedited it, having taken out those handful of clips we’d used. That said, the strike still remains on our channel. Fun, right? The channel whose footage we inadvertantly used refused to make any type of licensing deal with us. Oh well. That’s their right.

I grew up in Alaska where whale blubber, called muktuk, was considered a delicacy. I have had it and it is a very distinctive taste. The native Alaskans who hunt whale are extremely respectful of the animal and have traditionally used every part of the whale possible to sustain the tribe for the long winters.

[@nicoleb695]

It's been the practice of most Indigenous and First Nations peoples. I spent my teen years 20 minutes outside of a Cree reserve and befriended one of the girls. She and I hung out constantly and I got to help prepare a moose they'd hunted for the winter. First time trying this moose fat and Saskatoon berry mixture and it was sour and waxy and salty and a bit sweet. I ate as much as they'd let me with moose jerky. They used every part of the moose because every part has a use.

This is a very objective documentary on the Faroese tradition of the "Grint", of whale hunting, and whale eating. You approached this delicate subject very professionally, sensitive to both the environmental impact by continuing the practice, and the cultural impact by ceasing it. I'm impressed. This may be your best episode. And you described the textures and flavors very accurately. I ate whale meat and whale blubber a number of times while traveling up the northwest coast of Norway, and you nailed the taste: a mix of venison, salmon, and liver (and I'd add pigs feet and eel oil to the mix because of the buttery fat). I never had it dried but it sure tore apart like jerky on your show. The texture is really difficult to describe: because its too soft to be like beef, yet too solid to be like fish. Very good show, sir, with award winning qualities.

Today feelings matter more than actual facts - that is unfortunate, but that is how things work today Many of the same people who bash these islanders for what they prefer to eat are the very same people who gladly pay a food industry to enslave highly intelligent pigs and other animals.

I might be wrong but doing something for 1200 years would suggest that it is sustainable.

An extinction of a species is over thousands of years sometimes millions the way we are causing anima,s to go extinct is way faster than how it would happen naturally but then again fishing is one of their main incomes you can’t take all that away

But the way these people do it is the correct way it should be done nomover fishing

[@bugthebug6781]

The suggestion isn’t to forbid fishing however, preventing the hunting of whales will likely increase fish stocks in the future as they are ecosystem engineers; here in Ireland we’ve had similar controversies regarding the harvesting of our peatlands and even though it’s been done for thousands of years it’s still unsustainable as it takes millions to get it back. Same goes for our traditional farming landscape, although beautiful looking it’s actually terrible for biodiversity as so much land is left for monocultural grass to feed cows and sheep without any space for native woodland

So basically them hunting this specific whale species is not harmful to their population and also it seems that they hunt in a way that is humane (I would like to believe that the majority of people who hunt do this) and also because they don’t go out into the ocean to hunt for these whales, they wait for these whales to basically show up in their territory, they aren’t killing as many, and also one thing I would like to add on, is that they don’t eat it as often because of the mercury levels in it which can be toxic for the human body if consumed a lot. So overall, this doesn’t create as much damage and might also be a positive thing because all species need some kind of predator to help keep their numbers at a good number in the food chain. I think the bigger issue people should look at is hunting for species that are endangered and definitely sports related hunting. I think those are two huge issues that should be focused on instead of something like this that clearly does not impact negatively so much.

[@spicylizards4714]

In some cases sport/trophy hunting can be beneficial, such as in africa. It's not uncommon for a portion of a profit of someone hunting a lion or giraffe in africa to be sent towards conserving endangered species, such as rhinos and cheetahs

I'm vegetarian, & here for anthropological purposes. It just occurred to me the fact the British empire was fueled by the whaling industry but nowadays we know literally nothing about this part of our history. I personally find it abhorrent to see the whale hunting. I used to work in a dive centre in the Red Sea swimming with fishes every day, & have swam with dolphins in the wild. I have a lot of respect for all of life including these majestic whales. At the same time I can see for this isolated community in the Faroe Islands like for the Inuit of Alaska & the Arctic, this kind of hunting is part of their history. I'm glad that it's isolated nowadays & now whales can swim free round most of the world.

Great episode. My namesake, Bjarki, in the neighboring islands of the Faroe seems friendly. I have often had Minke meat here in Iceland. It's lean, tender, much like beef, and tastes exceptionally good grilled. Just a couple of minutes on both sides and bon appetit! But our tradition of whale hunting does not date as far back as the Faroe Islander's. We only started hunting them in the 20th century while their relationship goes back to the 16th. Our reasons for hunting whales, which are mainly industry driven, are very different from theirs.

Regardless, this video gave me more understanding the Faroese way of life from food to their culture: * removed faroe islands title * removed "this is our statement" in one of the guests in the beginning of the video * cut some scenes in whaling in the past * replaced recent whaling procedures into scenes in whaling in the past * replaced some real time videos of whaling procedures to still old pictures. * removed some scenes of people bathed in blood and holding some whale parts.

I love the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 ❤ I went in 2019. 😊

[@tomeickhorst6787]

This is history and heritage. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. In this case I hope these people keep doing their history and heritage

Watching your videos have really pushed me start creating my own content.

[@rejoicedeciar7663]

I looked at it twice coz this episode i watched already, then went to comment section and there the unjust happened. No worries Sonny, every content is worth watching every now and then ❤️ surely nobody gets tired watching again and again your videos all effort are worth it. Kudos team ✨ luv from philippines

[@khakicampbell6640]

These people are definitely doing it the right way! I appreciate their toughness, and their generosity to share this tradition, and this delicious looking food with you, for us to see. 👍🐳🙏💙

Hi Sonny and crew, I’ve been watching your videos for such a long time now and in every other video that’s been posted on this channel opened up my mind towards certain things. Watching this video made me think about the indigenous people in the northern part of Canada. Today, as far as I know, these groups are struggling to keep up their tradition of seal hunting due to the same reasons that are in the video-thoughtless activism(and animal rights groups were going on and on about white seals even though they weren’t endangered). I am a cegep student and I recently learned about the fight for their rights, fighting to be able to sell seal products and for them to thrive. The documentary I watched (Angry Inuk) I think was 5 or so years old and this fight had been going on since the 20th century. In the documentary, it was already said that the ban did happen and they are not able to sell anything because of the ban on seal products. It would be very helpful for their community if a documentary was made about their food and their ways of living, shedding more light into this matter.

Everybody have they traditions and people have to understand and respect that !!!!

[@loganhohaia7485]

See these hunters are proper hunters. I’m Māori and from New Zealand where our culture teaches us to take what you need and nothing more. These guys do just that 💯 leave ‘em alone

[@chestercopperpot5277]

The fried whale steaks with onions and gravy looked pretty good.

[@theyreMineralsMarie]

Wow that dinner looked like a traditional Danish meal. Even had Aquavit.

[@angelasnow01]

Being first nation(southern touchoné), we use all parts of the animal, while we mainly hunt moose, (dangerous), That's responsibility and respect for it, we give thanks to them for providing for us. I think as long as the Faroe island people continue to also do that for whales, the perspective on whale hunting will change. Much love from the Yukon!

[@adamvences3]

Bro if I ever come in to money I would live life like sonny experiencing different cultures and cuisines I love this channel and its host makes my day everytime I watch the videos😊😊

[@andylee7862]

Just amazing this dude is trying every food around the world... Wow

[@A16AdamWalker]

Trying to work out if anything's been edited out from the original upload (I imagine it was pulled, along with the Faroe's compilation due to some TOS issue, or someone complaining about the more graphic scenes from the hunt, as the Dolphin one stayed up). Anyone else notice if somethings missing?

[@hafizahdolet7589]

I believe those people who did 'research' on whales hunting them in a big ocean is the reason for the extinction of that whales. These people in Faroe Island...well, I don't see its a wrong thing to eat whatever fish comes in their way.

[@rakatumu]

I don't understand what the big deal is, 800 whales from a population of 1 million isn't noteworthy.

[@malaciousmark3903]

I couldn’t agree more. Some people just do not try to understand the situation

[@gardmyhr6121]

Yep totally agree, we dont see them talking about spiecises we have exctinct, even hundreds of them

[@jcjourney2406]

its the fact humans shouldnt eat them. ofc ppl do what they want but still, its unclean. cod isnt a problem. which is why no one cares..its a clean fish. thats meant to be consumed by humans.

[@mete1099]

this series was one of the best you did anyway

[@titanium4117]

I love these trips we all go on together

[@rneupane]

The village is so clean and beautiful ❤️

[@Waruto]

The food looks sustainable to me, they're only hunting the whales that swim to the area which is less than 1% of the population. And the old man brought up a great point about there is no carbon emissions from transportation and packaging. Let these folks keep their tradition... They're respecting the whales and not overfishing.

[@MrSki-tyvm]

I support this 100%, it's not commercial fishing. It's 100% native fishing for the people by the people. Everyone else in the world can piss off.

[@spisurin]

Im faroese 😊 i agree.

[@kardainzr161]

Ah that's why, I was thinking I am sure I have seen this video, that sums it up, creative content.

[@venky193]

OK. I used to be divided in my opinion until I saw this version of whaling done in the Faroe Islands. I see the perspective that these people have and I am more supportive of their practise now that I understand their point of view too! Another documentary also outlined another point to ponder, where the local said something on the lines of... Its more humane to slaughter 1 whale that feeds 100 people in comparison to killing 100 chickens for 100 people. Think about it. I feel it makes sense too.

[@egmevita]

Another argument the islanders use is that a highly intelligent pig being enslaved and killed for money is to them not more justified food than eating of a animal that is not killed for money and actually had a good life - plus eating local organic food causes less pollution, kills less biodiversity than buying any industrialized meat products in the supermarket
