📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Suaasat is considered Greenland's national dish. Traditionally it's made with seal meat, sometimes with whale, reindeer, or seabird. The meat is simmered a long time with onion, potatoes, and rice, and the rice thickens the broth. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper, it warms you to the core.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Inside a colorful snow-covered house in Greenland, soup steams in a big pot and is ladled into thick bowls.
