Parmi ces plats de traditions, on trouve le misirak, du gras de mammifère marin, généralement du phoque, mais ça peut aussi être du béluga, qu’on laisse fermenter pendant un certain temps ou encore le mattaq bout de peau de narval cru mangé à peine la bête dépecée, mais consommé également séché. Au Groenland, le plat national c’est la fameuse soupe faite à partir de viande de phoque bouillie avec des oignons et du riz appelée suaasat. Le igunaq, l’un des plats les plus estimés au pôle nord à bade de morse mais aussi encore de phoque

on a crispy frosty morning

the clear horizon

makes the impression

of presenting itself

in purple pastel

spreading an atmosphere

of serenity

thus purple is the dominating colour

when cardinals gather to

vote for a new Pope in Rome

inuits gliding on sleighs drawn

by their dogs across snow and

ice in very low temperatures

once arriving home welcomed

with drinks to quickly warm

them up whilst the dogs are

never forgotten

by some purple is seen as a

symbol of luxury and power

i am not particularly keen

on purple

but when dawn shows that

colour in wintertime

I do surrender
