Stinky heads!. The Eskimos in Alaska eat a lot of salmon!. They take some of the salmon heads and wrap the in paper and bury them in the tundra in the fall before the top layer of ground is frozen!. During the next summer they dig them up and eat them!. They smell really bad but somehow they like them!. They also make Eskimo ice cream!. It's Crisco with fish, berries, and sugar blended together and eaten from a bowl with a spoon!. I consider it gross by the native people love it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
