Blubber is most definitely meat, or at least meat fat. Whether eskimos have 27 words for it I couldn't say. Look how many words we have for pork! I have never eaten blubber, though, and never plan to. You could spend your whole life just exploring pork. Novelty is the least important quality of any meat.

I would say there are more than 27 words in for blubber, as each Native Alaskan tribe would have their own word, and there are easily more than 27 tribes. I tried it once when I moved here, along with the meat. They are both disgusting (and I eat everything). The texture is almost slimy and the taste is like, well, very very rotten, putrid fish. I ate it in Barrow, AK, on the Arctic Ocean and everyone else was eating like it was the best meal on earth, so I didn't just get a bad batch. All in what you're used to, I guess! To this day it is the ONLY thing I will ever refuse to eat again!
