- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Death in Scandinavia
I just discovered that these
(Norwegian Lundehund)
are used in Norway to kill these
and I'm devastated.

In Iceland you can shoot or net any Alcid you want and almost as many as you want(100s).

Re: Death in Scandinavia
There isn't an awful lot about hunting (anywhere) that holds any appeal for me. On the other hand, who am I to criticize others who do.
I can't help thinking about all the really cute furry things I have caused to be killed and consumed... and still do.

Re: Death in Scandinavia
But you never know. If it weren't for the effort of those valiant Norwegian Lundehundes, Norway might be up to its frigid Norwegian ass in puffins.

Re: Death in Scandinavia
Norwegians are a strange breed indeed, not to be confused with the rest of Scandinavia. Their biggest problem isn't strange hunting methods though, it's the worst case of the "baby brother complex".

Re: Death in Scandinavia
I like Norwegia (sounds better than Norway, doesn't it?) and I support their right to hunt their own puffins.
Re: Death in Scandinavia
The Swedes subjected the whole world to Ikea , that certainly makes up for any short-comings possibly imagined for the Norwegians.Henke wrote:Norwegians are a strange breed indeed, not to be confused with the rest of Scandinavia.

BTW Atlantic Puffin populations have been declining and some countries are discussing hunting moratoriums both on hunting and egg collecting which also impacts population numbers.

My Lord, The Norveegians eat puffin and whale. What are they? Friggin' nuts? What are they shooting for? The extinction of these marvelous critters? Sorry to vent but I love animals especially birds. Mmmmm that's better. I have vented.

Re: Death in Scandinavia
Well, I would hope that a drive to prevent endangerment of a species such as puffins would come from a environmental and/or conservation organization as opposed to a foreign government.
There's great value in preservation of species. Puffins are cool. It doesn't have to be political.

And apparently, also edible and quite tasty.emmline wrote:Puffins are cool.
But I must admit I could not make this recipe myself. The boiled vegetables are a turn-off, especially the brussels sprouts.Jo's Icelandic Recipes wrote:Puffin in milk sauce - Mjólkursoðinn lundi
4 puffins
50 g smoked bacon
50 g butter
300 ml milk
300 ml water to taste salt
Puffins should be skinned or carefully plucked and singed. Remove the innards and discard. You can use the breasts alone, or cook the whole birds. Wash well in cold water and rub with salt, inside and out. If you are using whole birds, truss them. Lard the breasts with bacon fat. Brown the birds on all sides, and stuff them tightly into a cooking pot. Heat the milk and water and pour over the puffins. Bring to the boil and cook on low for 1-2 hours (test the birds for softness). Turn the birds occasionally. Remove from the cooking liquid and keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
The sauce:
30 g butter
4 tblsp flour
400-500 ml cooking liquid
to taste salt and pepper
as needed caramel/sauce colouring
to taste redcurrant jelly (optional)
to taste whipped cream
Melt the butter and stir the flour into it like you were making white sauce. Strain the cooking liquid and gradually add to the butter/flour mixture. Add colouring and spices to taste, and redcurrant jelly/cream, if using.
Serve with boiled and/or caramelized potatoes and lightly boiled vegetables, like carrots, peas and brussels sprouts.
