At my first outdoor lunch of the season with my colleagues, the topic turned to the consumption of whale in Japan. I've known for a long time that Japan figures large in the whaling industry, but I never really gave much thought to how they consumed whale meat, so I researched Japan's whale consumption a bit when I got home.
Here's a really interesting summary. What really got my attention was how whale meat accounted for nearly half of all the consumed animal protein in post-WWII Japan, midst a food shortage.

Here's a story about making whale burgers in Hokkaido. The picture looks a lot like a delicious hamburger -- I'd definitely try one of those! I need someone to send be to Japan for a "research" mission. Yeah, that's right.
