It is apparently done in Japan occasionally as a gimmick (Organic! Dairy-free!).

That works for dolphins as well as small whales. Apparently it's a very tuna-friendly method :-)<BR/><BR/>FWIW the closest I have got to whale meat in Japan is seeing a small chunk in Tokyo's vast fish market, hidden between mountains of fish. Never spotted it in a restaurant or shop.James Annanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04318741813895533700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-1137931136012496362006-01-22T11:58:00.000+00:002006-01-22T11:58:00.000+00:00For the definitive resource on exploding whales, t...For the definitive resource on exploding whales, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_whaleWilliam M.
