COUNTRY FOOD.
It was our main motivation to get up north, and a term we’d never actually heard before starting FEAST. As Dana mentioned in the last post, country food is traditional “food from the land,” and has made up the Inuit diet for thousands of years.
Let’s travel back quickly to the museum in Churchill when, among other things, my eyes fixated on thousand year old sewing needles, hand-carved from bones. As soon as I saw them, I became keenly aware that I know nothing about survival. I take things like sewing needles, which I use only for the odd, wayward button, completely for granted.
