Can you share a little more detail about the Chukchi diet? What does 5000 calories look like there in the winter?

- genocidicbunny 3y agoLots and lots of meat, fat and fish, with some stuff like berries and preserved summer vegetables mixed in. Meat and fish are preserved by drying or mixing with fat and berries/herbs, sort of like pemmican. Fresher meats tend to be boiled and dipped in the melted fat, but you couldn't really eat those on the go. In many ways, it's similar to the Inuit diet, adapted to similar conditions.
