(More) whale for sale

Japan’s whale hunting scientists may well be accused of many things, but laziness certainly isn’t one of them; their research related by-products turning up all over the place.

As well as school kids eating the stuff and its availability in dainty little cans, whale meat is now easily purchased fresh.

Quite cheaply too.

whale meat

Ideal for burgers apparently.

    Looks good.

    And the reason it’s cheap might be because there is so much of it.

    That looks like smoker’s lungs from a cadaver. Sorry to be so morbid, but, gah!

    It might look ghastly, but what does it taste like? We don’t have whale meat available, that I know of, in California!!!

    that is different… i should say. i guess the beef being bad especially the ones from U.S. that they imported… they gave up on beef! i never had whale. prob. close enough to taste like beef so there we go!

    This looks so good. It helps to be cheap.

    I would rather see the these beautiful creatures swimming in our oceans than being “sold for cheap” by these so-called Japanese Scientists. Such a shame!!!

    Whale tastes soooo good. Cooked or raw. If you’re so worried about these “beautiful” retarded quasi-fish dying out just clone the bastards. Yummy
