Bloodwurst was more of a favorite though.Anyway my Mother made that headcheese while I was in school…so I never saw what she did to make it!But the memory also connected to the headcheese was Dad brought home the other first time taste treat…French onion sour cream dip for potato chips…
I honestly loved it all! -

I wonder if the OP contracted a once thought extinct parasite from the whale and is in the ICU?

Curious as to what a whale nipple looks like, thankfully that terrible night at the tri-Delt sorority at ISU has been successfully erased for life.___________

Hi everyone! Very sorry for not getting back to you, things were weirdly hectic and I didn't get time to cook (for real), let alone engage in the forum!
That sneaky father-in-law already tried a part himself, without including me. Luckily, it worked out and even more luckily, I will be able to have some for Christmas.
I will make sure to report how it was afterwards. I do feel bad for not being able to cook it myself, but on the other hand, I also cannot mess anything up .
I will let you know how it turned out.
Happy holidays for everyone here!

Best wishes for all in this new year!
Finally back to report on the whale tasting .
So, what we did was thaw the whale steak and then simply put it in melted (but cooled down) butter. Do not ask me why, but this is what his recipe said. It seems this is mostly done to avoid adding fat during the actual cook, but it still seems weird to me.
Then we basically pan fried it. I can imagine grilling would work the same, but conserving the whale-infused butter used while frying (typed whale frying there first, lol) would seem nice to pour over the meat and/or side dishes.
The structure was very beef-like and the meat does allow for very rare cooking. What did surprise me, was the taste. It actually tasted a lot like salmon, allbeit a very deep, 'wild' salmon flavour, which I would describe as gamey just because I know no other words for it.
All in all a great experience, glad I was lucky enough to try this!
And of course a picture without forks: -

Thanks for the update, photo and description. Very interesting. I'll probably never have a chance to try that.

I would have never thought whale meat would look like beef! Cool!

My cousin Billy dated a whale in high school. Whenever I got close to her I thought she smelled a lot like gamey salmon. For years I wondered if she had underwear made of old salmon skin, but now I just think she was just all whale. This forum is amazing, the things you learn on here.
