Serving Whale and Porpoi.e Meat.

Serving Whale and Porpeise Meat.
Some time ago there appeared in this
column statement about the plans for
an Inauguration of a supply Of whale
meat which was to be placed upon the
market in two ways. First, the whale
meat was to be made available frozen,
and second. it was to be supplied in cans.
The National Bureau of Fisheries re-
Gently arranged for the sending of 10000
pounds OF the frozen whale meat to Bos-
ton. The meat was packed in boxes OF
about 100 pounds each. Within 10 days
after the whale meat arrived at Its
destination it was all sold The retail
price in most districts was about Is cents
q pound. In ono district, however, the
price at retail was Is cents a pound. and
still the whale meat was very well re-
ceived.
The plan is now to arrange for a regu-
lar supply both of whale meat and or
porroise meat-which some persons who
have eaten of both prefer to the whale
meat-and to plan for regular markets.
When you see either of these meats ad-
vertised take a chance"-only 1t isn't
any venture at all. rather it Is most
pleasurable adventure in foods, and a
saving In money.
