oooohhhh up here in Alaska, they have "wild rhubarb" and I grow regular rhubarb...I am married to a native Alaskan (eskimo/athabascan)...the natives up here make something called Aqudak (Ah-goo-duck) which is basicaly their version of eskimo ice cream...Its made with white fish (cooked, flaked), lard (used to be animal lard but they use crisco now), heavy cream, sweetener, and cooked chopped rhubarb or fresh/frozen berries....They whip the lard until its very fluffy adding in the sweetener as they go, then adding the fish...the amount of each depends on taste and who's making it...they add the heavy cream to loosen it up if its too thick and whip it longer till its light and fluffy (natives use their hands and whip in a certain way, others use mixers)...Then you add in the berries or rhubarb pieces and fold them in. Can be eaten right away or frozen...if frozen, just let sit out for a couple of minutes before eating.
The natives up here "originally" ate the low carb diet before everyone else taught them differently. They ate alot of fatty meats, fats, veggies and berries...not very many carbs to be found up here naturally.
The fry bread that they so cherish now, is not what they started out eating...Now I find that its very difficult to get my husband to stop eating carbs...he is very addicted to them! lol
I am going to see about getting me some rhubarb..heading to the farmers market today!
