It's just kind of show-offy in a weird way, to me. People are already confused about what Alaskan culture is and this so doesn't help.

Acutally I've never eaten anything moose in my life. But I HAVE seen it on menus here. Not the nose thing though. That would be too weird. Like sushi. ;-)

They love to share, but I've never tried nay of it, thankyouverymuch. So the moose dishes don't seem that unusual to me.
