Well I don't want to taste anything that tastes nasty, and apparently whale, as well as being unethical, tastes revolting too. We saw whalemeat for sale in Japan, but it's a meat people only eat when there's no other choice, it was considered the food of poor desperate folk - because it tastes pretty bad.

Dunno much about the bear, it seems to be a speciality meat that only rich Estonians might eat on special occasions.
