FM, the most common way to feed sled dogs on long pulls such as those necessitated by arctic or antarctic exploration was dried fish.

You are lucky that you were not born a woman. In the years when I came to puberty, liver was a part of the Curse of Eve--with onions and bacon. Regular helpings of liver build Unconquerable Womanhood.

Since both Mr. Noddys are in your corner of the Men's Lodge on the Question of Liver, I can cook liver for myself every so often and feel delightfully self-indulgent.

By the by, my pit bull won't eat raw liver, but she does enjoy liver, lightly sauteed.



My poor mother, as a tiny girl, had some sort of anaemia which was quite dangerous.

She was prescribed raw liver.

Such is the wisdom of the human body that she actually craved it, and ate it happily, apparently.
































Personally, I think I would just fade away and die quietly, instead.

Blimey.

Like poor old what's his name in the Antarctic, and vitamin D poisoning from the dogs' livers!


Now you've got me . . . Scott and Amundson raced for the south pole, and Scott and company froze to death, while Amundson and his boys made it there and back by eating the dogs.

You've opened another can of worms, Miss Wabbit . . .


Set,
If you ever get the chance, seek out a copy of Mawson's book "The Home of the Blizzard." It's quite a ride. He ate the soles of his own feet when they sloughed off, due to his ingestion of dog liver.

Sounds fascinatin', LTX . . . my sweetiepie had a book originally published about a century ago which dealt with those who explored the interior of the Australian continent--but it went astray, and i never got to finish it. When is was a lad, about forty years ago, i had an "exploration" period in which i voraciously consumed any books i could get on the subject of exploration.

I have understood the ill-fated expedition to the North Pole led by Salomon August Andrée (1897) also succumbed to vitamin A poisoning due to eating polar bear liver, but other sources have stated worm infection from infected meat as cause of death. It makes you wonder how the members of Willem Barents expedition managed to survive a whole winter on Novaya Zemlya in 1597, maybe there wasn't enough liver to go around?
