did people use to eat mammoth meat early last century? i've
just read about being served mammoth meat by the Czar of Russia,
meat dug up that's been frozen for thousands of years. there was
no comment on the taste of he meat. book: sea devil's fo'c'sle,
by lowell thomas (1929). OK, i'll quote all of it relating to mammoth:

"and then there was mammoth's meat. It had been dug up in Siberia
out of the ice, where it had been kept naturally refrigerated
for thousands of years. Eating that ancient mammoth's meat is
more common now, but then it was something new and startling."
