mammoth meat
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." |

Eating that ancient mammoth's meat is >more common now, but then it was something new and startling." According to <http://archives.stupidquestion.net/sq21405.html>, "There is no reliable report of a modern human eating any part of a frozen mammoth—and very few unreliable reports, for that matter." The page goes on about the unfeasibility of eating frozen mammoth, but does mention that a University of Alaska professor, along with some chosen friends, chowed down on stew made from a 36,000-year-old bison and found it "agreeable." I couldn't say how reliable the research on stupidquestion.net is, but I also can't say I've ever seen a report of anybody actually eating ancient mammoth meat. Even the Flintstones only ate the fresh stuff. -- Ulo Melton http://www.sewergator.com - Your Pipeline To Adventure "Show me a man who is not afraid of being eaten by an alligator in a sewer, and I'll show you a fool." -Roger Ebert |

There's something in Gulag Archipelago about involuntary residents of Siberia finding and eating ancient meat out of the ice. Solzhenitsyn quotes the Soviet journal in which the discovery was reported as saying that those who found the stuff ate it quite happily, and notes that nobody seems to have wondered just how hungry they had to be to do that... |

Sometime back in the 30s the Explorer's Club in NYC had a banquet in which one of the items on the menu was mammoth meat [unless it was mastodon meat; I no longer remember]. I had occasion to talk with one of the people who had been at that banquet and asked him what it tasted like. He told me it tasted like mud. No, I can't give you any more detail. I don't remember his name; some friend of the family I met back around 1956. Charles |

Eating that ancient mammoth's meat is > more common now, but then it was something new and startling." I can't speak about the eating of mammoth meat, but as I've long been interested in carved ivory artworks I know about the active and thriving industry involving the excavation of tons of mammoth tusks wach year, which are sold as raw material to ivory carvers around the world. I've heard recently that global warming has caused some of the ice covering northern shorelines to melt further back, exposing more areas where mammoth tusks can be dug up. The ivory from mammoth tusks looks and carves almost identically to that from elephant tusks, it takes the right lighting and a trained eye to differentiate them by the different crossing angles of their "graining". Anyone desirous of more info about this can visit the links on this page: http://home.comcast.net/%7Ejwisnia18...ory_links.html Out of deference to the world's dwindling elephant population I do my best to avoid purchasing any newly made works carved from elephant ivory.

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." In Gary Haynes' "Mammoths, Mastodonts, & Elephants: Biology, Behavior, and the Fossil Record", he mentions several famous frozen mammoth finds. In one case, the Beryozvka mammoth, he mentions that paleontologists Herz & Pfizenmayer excavated it. "...Some parts of the body were shipped frozen to St. Petersburg...Dogs ate the meat, and perhaps Herz and Pfizenmayer tasted it, but there was never a mammoth-meat feast from this carcass..." (This animal was C-14 dated to between 29,500 and 44,000 years old.) Haynes suggests that the "dozen or so salvaged remains probably are poor representations of the actual numbers of preserved carcasses that continue to be lost as they erode away, rot, or are devoured by animals and mutilated by ivory hunters." He goes on to write that nearly complete mammoth carcasses date from two different time intervals: 30,000 - 40,000 years ago, and 13,000 - 10,000years ago, with skeletons lacking preserved soft tissue found in intervening times. This may be because the times of better preservation had more water available to supply mud flows, which covered the carcasses. The reference to Herz and Pfizenmayer "tasting" the meat is the only modern-day edibility reference Haynes gives, but given his observation that most of the preserved mammoths had an obvious cause of death, plus the preservation not only by freezing but by mud-flows (eg, it's not like the carcasses were quick-frozen, like a modern chicken), implies to me that for anyone happening upon a mammoth thawing out of a cliff, the first thought wasn't "yum!" ("Get the tusks!", more likely.) V. -- Veronique Chez Sheep |

Sorry, no joke. The subject material wasn't serious. But like many posts here, my response was a riff on an obvious typo. For you to pretend you never made the typo by fixing it in your subsequent response is dishonest. It violates a basic trust we need to be able to talk to each other in this forum. bill |

One of my uncles ate mammoth meat they had uncovered...I think in Alaska but it could have been Canada. This would have been in the early part of the 20th century. He said it was not very good eating. I still have a few bits of tusk from that animal that he carved into tie clasps and such things. Charlie |
