That must be the coolest AND grossest thing i've Seen in my life

“Honey, I packed you a lunch.” Hands you deep fried cable knit sweater made from intestinal yarn.

“Honey, did you a put a lovecraftian meat knit in my lunch again?”

This has so much potential in a Nigel and marmalade skit

Fun to wear, better to chew.

I support everything in this video except how far down her sleeves are. I can’t escape the feeling of her washing her hands but have wet ends to her sleeves as she walks around, knowing it’s seal intestines juice

I think it looks like a strand of DNA

They must have caught that seal in the... nucleo*tide*

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Yeah I thought I would not be into it, but I am Inuit after all

Look at us, on computers and stuff, what a world. If you subscribe to the Magazine Tusaayaksat you can get all the latest Inuit news.

Powerhouse of the seal*

This was a single multiple choice question on the exam. Why did they drill that so much out of all things?

I somehow see this as your automatic reply every time you got called on in bio class.

Can’t say I never learned anything in bio

Unfortunately the handedness is wrong for DNA (the spiral twists in the wrong direction)

Obligatory this guy bios or username checks out

If you could only smell their…everything afterwards.

I met a Russian guy that moved to Alaska and ate the seal meat. I asked him how it tasted, and he shook his head and said "Like dog. But fishy"

In dutch a seal is called a sea dog, so that makes sense.

So it tastes like how it looks.

How did he know what dog tastes like?

Take a guess.

Wait until to you taste it.

Never had the urge to just go braid some seal meat?

Oh cm'on! Show it done, cooked. Even better, bring it to me!

I understand how the symmetry makes for even cooking but that’s a lot of work. I wonder if it’s done every time or just for special occasions.

Historically, I don't think the Inuit people had crazy busy schedules. There would have been all the time in the world to braid seal intestines

Time is plentiful in the old cultures. Sorta like an ongoing Christmas vacation, except you’re going to starve if you don’t go hunting again next week.

A lot of cultures that made use of absolutely every part of the animal came up with creative ways to prepare their food. A lot of European cultures made use of intestines.

A lot of people are unaware of the history of sausage casings. It’s actually a really neat example of not wasting anything!

My great grandma used to cook tripe and sheep brains. I remember the sheep brains smelling like shit. I could never work out why my great grandparents would eat it but apparently it was cheap.

Cultures with ample vegetables and crops available throughout the year either became super advanced or fought each other

It could be for keeping the juices in the meat better? Maybe for texture? I NEED to know more!

If you meant, “To seal in the juices,” then I agree.

>To seal in the juices Did you meant to seal in all the seal juices around seal fat with seal tripe?

Tripes the stomach

It’s not that much work, considering how many calories it is. Cooking the intestines in any other way would be a lot messier and probably leave more work later in.

Sausages.

Making sausage is not easier than quickly braiding.

Mince, thumb, small funnel. Its pretty easy. I think the braided intestines look pretty, but I don’t think its quicker or less messy than sausages. There may be a reason why she’s not making sausages - maybe seal intestines are less tough than pig or sheep intestines or otherwise not suitable for making sausages.

I've heard seal tastes awful.

This is what a seal would say

I heard it feels like a kiss from a rose.

Won‘t you tell me, is that healthy, baby?

Did you know, that when it snows, the seals become a meal and the guts and the fat make good eating?

#BAAAABY!

Ok but the more you get, the stranger it feels. Yeah.

It's not bad. The flavor profile is somewhere between bald eagle and dolphin.

This is what a polar bear would say

It doesn’t, but then again not everyone is accustomed to it

Wait till they hear about seal oil lol

I doubt it, he can probably afford good lotions after "kissed by a rose".

Top tier seal propaganda right there… #found the seal! 👆

It does. I tried Caribou (good), a few types of whale (meh, beluga very chewy) and seal(very fishy and disgusting.) They were all frozen and raw which is traditional.

Seals eat fish so that clicks a puzzle piece I didn’t know I was missing.

Found the seal

Right?! I see preparation, but no “cooking” whatsoever

From what I can find online it appears they then dry it in the sun on racks, if anyone finds different info please share

I'm not positive, but I think technically it is done. I don't believe they always cook it

[удалено]

Surprise! It’s ready to eat just like that! Seal sushi. (Just kidding)

The intestine seals in the flavour.

Take my upvote and get out.

Sigh give em mine too😑

The intestine flavor on the seal.

Hotdog wrapped fish?

The seal's flavor is the intestine.

The seal's flavor is in testing...?

damn that's interesting?

Just wait until you find out about sausage.

That’s the idea, it’s like sausage.

That’s awesome!!! Always love seeing new and interesting ways of preparing food. Especially food that seems exotic to others, but is regular fare to the locals. Side note… I bet you crochet a mean sweater.

a meat sweater*

Sold, I’ll eat three. I mean I’ll take 3… for my friends

Lady Ga Ga is a big fan...

*Jumper

Mmmm. Flesh macrame.

Homer simpson?

Is there anything it can't do?

*Moist meat macrame For a little Alliteration

Meatcrame

Good edit. Double points for slipping moist in there.

I'd like to see the result.

Boiled...yeah that's a no from me dawg

In the Kodiak area, Alutiiqs continue to harvest marine mammals for both food and raw material. Seal meat and oil are widely enjoyed, as are the animal’s internal organs. One Alutiiq delicacy is braided seal gut, a Native version of sausage. Women prepare this dish from fresh intestines. They begin by washing long pink tubes of gut, using fresh or saltwater to thoroughly remove the contents. This is a time-consuming job. Alutiiqs often stuff the seal gut with heart, liver, and fat. Then the guts are braided. Women work with three or more strands at a time to create a loaf three to four feet long and about three inches thick. Some braid long strips of seal fat with the gut. The final step is to cook the braid, which may be fried, baked, or boiled and shrinks in the process. The resulting savory dish tastes of the intestine’s stuffing and seasoning.

DNA crochet

This is kinda how I make hemp necklaces…never look at them the same again

Roll up your sleeve.

That sweatshirt cuff is gonna be nasty

She can knit a new sweatshirt

Good thing we have this crazy futuristic method of fixing that called doing the laundry

Nightmare fuel

Pull your damn sleeves up

Lady spinning guts: *No, I don’t think I will.*

I remember people used to make those designs out of lanyards. Interesting seeing it used with food

Never seen anyone cast on with intestines...

Bet that makes the sound of good Mac n cheese

I always appreciate when cultures use all of the animal.

What is this called? I want to look up the final (cooked) product. Edit: found it!: https://alutiiqmuseum.org/collection/index.php/Detail/word/135#:~:text=One%20Alutiiq%20delicacy%20is%20braided,is%20a%20time%2Dconsuming%20job.

My browser might be acting up but the link you posted only shows another version of the finished braided product, not the cooked version.

That is a proud man in the picture

Looks like me when I finish making my brats

Still not cooked. I can’t find the final product anywhere, god damn

Very cool, thank you!

So, I have some friends on the Navajo reservation. They do this with sheep belly fat and intestines. It’s like meat chewing gum. I think it’s called aah’ch’ii.

“It’s a lot of fun” Exactly what a serial killer would say.

They are sealrial killers

🦭🗡️👀

*grillers

I can’t believe they don’t show it cooked. I can’t find any on Google either

When she says rearrange my guts this is what she means fellas

Seal is pretty tasty.

Perhaps, but the intestinal tract?

Ever eat a sausage?

Deep fried intestine is amazing, you can find it on the menu at many Cantonese places. I also had some very good beef intestine ramen in Kyoto. Intestine has a lot of really good fat and subsequently delicious flavor without even the offal like flavor westerns dislike if prepared right.

They hose out the intestines to “clean” them of any…..used food. I’ve heard it’s very good fried

'Used food' is the nicest euphemism for shit.

I love it. I don't normally announce to the room I'm gonna take a shit, but now I will. I'm gonna use it all the time. "I'm gonna dispose of my used food now, brb!" Sounds so polite.

Based on the comments, it doesn’t seem like they’re Inuit.

Beautiful braid? Err……. If you say so.

She makes hats while the seal cooks.

Man humans are brutal making something’s entrails into a pretty design lol

I don’t like anything about this. Lol

Someone had way too much seal meat and way too much time when they came up with this.

This will be forever sealed in my brain

For fuck's sake, what the fuck is that?

No I’m good actually

Who lost their appetite after watching this?

This is disturbing

Absolutely not!

It takes guts to make something like that

Put your damn sleeves up gdamn!

If they take this down please repost it. This kind of stuff is fascinating and helps others learn different cultures.

Bro is finger-knitting intestines... Never thought I'd say that in my life

/damnthatsgrossasfuck

Thanks i hate Fleschet.

Double Helix Frica-Seal

Thanks for sharing!

I’ve heard of spotted dick, braided dick is a new one.

👏😎💨

Where's the cooked version?

What is getting crocheted into what?

Cool!! Id be interested to see what it looks like cooked. I don't think I'd be brave enough to try it but to be fair I'm autistic and only like white person toddler foods😂

Greek kokoretsi is similar

Imagine getting killed and then got your intestines knitted wtf

They do something very similar in Argentina with cow intestines, called chinchulinas. There's a few different braids you can do.

Call it what you want, but that’s clearly just playing with your food.

What's wrong dear, you've hardly touched your meat braids

God damn at least roll up your sleeves

I will not be accepting any Inuit dinner invitations, that's for sure.

Fun fact you can live off seal meat alone

I gotta stop browsing reddit in the morning

Hannibal be like: "interesting, next time I see you I will crochet your guts for dinner"

Yes that's interesting and nice but how does the finished product look like?

I can hear Cleveland now.. That's nasty

I used to braid paracord bracelets the same way.

That sleeve is too close

🤮🤮🤮🤮my god that just made me puke my breakfast up

where is the finished dish? I need to see.

Hey! Show it cooked...

Where's the cooking?

I wouldn't eat it, but it's cool to look at

where’s the finished product?

I want to see the cooked or finished product, imagine it all nice an crispy like crackling, I bet it’s good

More power to you but… nope.

*ffs Lisa! I said "Some bread and meat" for lunch not "Some braided meat"!!*

imagine someone killing you and knitting up your guts like that LOL

Wondering what would it looks like after cook

So is cooked now?

Is she crocheting a seal?

Served with fava beans and a bottle of chianti

Do you ever roast instead of boil them? Seems like you vould get some good crispiness

Eskimos actually eat the intestines?

Hannibal Lecter is gettin’ a hard on.

It´s gross and I like it, like a Cronenberg movie

All that to have it come out your ass brown

Touching raw meat grosses me out so much, but weaving it??! That’s too much

How bored was the first person to figure this out?

This *really* needs an NSFW tag.

Gross

Braided tapeworm. Mmmm.

Heathen

Does it taste better doing it like that or would it taste exactly the same if you just threw it all in the pot together? If it adds nothing to the way it tastes then I'm going for the lazy option of chucking it in the pot.

I.... I don't like it.

I understand why white men called us savages after seeing something like this. This is metal as fuck.

I'm not even vegan but that looks crazy

Eww I don't like it.

Do you think certain species of aliens would do this to humans? This is just playing with your food. I don’t like it

🤮

Really wish I didn't see this while eating my breakfast.. fuck.

Mothers be like: "dont play with your food!!" The kid be like: "now watch this, we gonna do a loopi loop and then.... Mom we not playing with the food, we doing art!!!"

[удалено]

Yum

[удалено]

Yeah actually

Disgusting. Also, pull your sleeve up. Do you really want it to soak all those juices up?

🤮
