Local Delight

I saw the film "Shipping Forecast" recently and in it they talked of having Seal Flipper Burgers. I thought it was a joke!! When looking through a cookbook today of local Newfoundland dishes there was this recipe for Blueberry Braised Seal Flipper. I think the photo is meant to tempt you!! I have to say I will not be either cooking this or indeed ordering it in a restaurant any time soon!! I have given you the recipe just in case there is anyone out there who would like to try it. Please let me know how you get on!! LOL!!

I was glad to note it was a picture and not a picture of a dish you had prepared! Would take some courage I suspect.

**IF** I was a dinner guest in a Newfoundlander;s home, I would have a taste... However, this is not a meal I would seek out! Always interesting what people grow used to where they live, and I've always felt that IF a portion of the population will eat it, I'm willing to sample it,too! (Perhaps not so enthusiastically!

I don't think so :).

OMG!! So glad this wasn't a photo of YOUR cooking. But am interesting cultural window.

I thought it was a dish designed to look like a seal's flipper! And, I think it is made from seal? Oh my. Hmmm, I think you have actually helped me find something I don't think I'd eat! I'm pretty adventurous but...

I don't think so.

Interesting and novel notion, but count me out please.

No thank you! We passed on this when we were in Newfoundland. But their Blueberry Buckle is to die for!

I'm sure it's good if one acquires the taste for it. Not much reason to here, though.

I think you mean the film, 'The Shipping News" There is a film called Shipping Forecast but its British and about dementia. I would love to be there seeing what you are! Might forgo the flipper recipe!

Oh my. I thought you were doing what Louise does when she makes one of those incredible cakes from that magazine, putting the recipe and finished product in a photo. I was looking forward to what you thought about the flipper, and thinking how adventurous you are. Lol!

The film sounds something I might like to see, must watch out for it but doubt I will be trying this recipe!

@maggiemae @happypat Yes the film is called The Shipping News - i forgot the correct name!! LOL!! Well worth watching!!

What an interesting recipe, but I think I will pass on the tasting. Smile.
June 13th, 2017
