Whale Meat

I was glad to see my Korean hometown Ulsan get some international press coverage in Stone age art suggests whale hunting. I've seen the petroglyphs the article describes, which were made between 3,000 and 8,000 years ago. Amazingly, after thousands of years, Ulsan remains the center for delicious, succulent whale meat (gorae gogi), a politically incorrect delicacy.
