After learning of Greenland’s alternative, you’ll find a few reasons to whine about sprouts. Kiviak is a super-niche foodie tradition practised mainly by the country’s indigenous Inuit community. It involves up to 500 auks, small black and white-feathered native birds, trussed up in seal skin and buried for a few months until they reach a ripe level of decomposition. When Christmas comes, it’s time to tuck into the delicacy, which reportedly bears a flavour similar to incredibly mature cheese. We’ll stick to Stilton, thanks.
