Cooking In The Danger Zone: Arctic

Stefan Gates' food programmes have - somewhat surprisingly - been my hit of the year so far. A host of fascinating destinations and alarming foodstuffs have so far been explored, from Chernoybl to Uganda and Afghanistan to Korea. Tonight Stefan was in Northern Canada exploring foodstuffs in the Arctic circle. I've long been fascinated with Inuit culture, from architecture to food, so I was delighted with this. Most unusual in terms of gastronomy was the Igunak; rotten walrus - eaten raw after being buried in ice for a year. Good lord.
