Greenland

Raw Buried Seal is Key to Inuit Delicacy

Here’s a lovely sounding recipe from the Innuit living in Greenland.

2. Remove the organs.

6. Exhume.
7. Enjoy!

I hear the crime rates aren’t exactly endearing it to many people, either. As for cuisine, I suppose some borscht would be a nice change from some of the planet’s finest seafood.
3. Belize City, Belize – Wow. This place is a hole. I expected it to be a lot better, because every travel rag blasts San Jose, Costa Rica, in much the same terms. But I found San Jose fun and lively, where Belize City was foul and depressing, from its airport to [...]
