Eskimo ice cream is traditionally made with berries, seal oil, and caribou/moose fat all beat together until fluffy. Nowadays most people I know make it with Crisco and Wesson Oil instead.
It's nasty. I like berries, I like seal oil, and I even like whale fat as muktuk. Together? Blech. Not as nasty as stinkfish or stinkflipper (buried until it rots, then eaten), but I definitely went to some lengths to skip right past it at the village potlucks.
But the cool thing about being me is that I know these kinds of things. So when trying to pick a difficult password (they kept rejecting EVERYTHING), I could use the Eskimo word for Eskimo ice cream. Problem solved.
