A Whale of a Burger, apparently...

Whale burgers? Oh, brother:
The 380 yen slice of fried minke whale in a bun went on sale on Thursday at Lucky Pierrot, a restaurant chain in the port city of Hakodate on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido."The taste and texture are somewhere between beef and fish," said Lucky Pierrot manager Miku Oh. "People in Hakodate have a long history of eating whale, so customers are looking forward to trying it."
Finally! Something that doesn't taste like chicken.
Update: Speed of Thought, a terrific Tucson blog, has more, including a bit on the political ramifications Chris mentioned.
