Know anywhere I can get whale meat?

I've been wanting to try it for a very long time without having to take a trip to Iceland or something.

Japan?

I expect it is illegal here and it would be illegal to import it. But let me know how you go as I am interested in trying it. I had an idea for the first fundraiser for the Sustainability Party - a BBQ serving whale meat.

Yeah I initiated my search a while ago. I'll see how it goes from here and contact you if I find out anything.

Is it illegal to talk about this?

No.

The closest I have come to whale meat was the last time I went spearing off Swansea heads. I ventured out over the deap, then got freaked out by what appeared to be the seafloor rising towards me, which in shallower water means a big wave. Then I saw the white bits outlining the pec fin. It was a humback. It swam up towards the surface right beside me, followed by a calf. The vis was really great and it was close by, but it was still not possible to see the whole thing at once. It's like in star wars or red dwarf when the space ship goes slowly by at high speed.

I'd imagine for the same cost locally you could travel to Japan and chow down on as much as you like.

Politicians and Nappies need to be changed often and for the same reason.

One trouble with political jokes is that they often get elected.

I believe that a 4 ton vagina works wonders.

I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.

In the 60's we used Whale oil in berley, it worked a treat.
I cant remember when it was banned but I think it may have been the early 70's  Smiley
