I got to the Alaskan dish and nearly puked!!

"Eskimo ice cream
Ingredients: Reindeer fat, seal oil, salmonberries, blackberries

Fat content: It’s hard to estimate without a known serving size of this
native treat. But consider this: An average serving of reindeer fat packs
a whopping 91 grams of fat. A different version made with fish, berries,
and seal oil contains 9 grams of fat.

Also known as Eskimo Ice Cream, akutaq, (pronounced agoodik or agooduk) is
a classic native dish that is still popular today. Today's modern versions
are usually prepared with Crisco, but traditional recipes called for meat
and fat from caribou, moose, bears, seals, and fish."
