eskület

Eskület, also known as Eskimo roll or Eskimo pie, is a traditional dish originating from the Inuit people of the Arctic region. It is a type of pie made with a pastry crust filled with a mixture of raw fish, such as salmon or trout, and raw eggs. The dish is typically served cold and is a popular street food in the Arctic regions.

The name "eskület" comes from the Inuktitut word "ᐃᓪᓗᒃ" (eskulit), which means "raw fish." The dish is prepared by mixing the raw fish with raw eggs, salt, and pepper, and then placing the mixture into a pastry crust. The pie is then refrigerated until firm, after which it is sliced and served.

Eskület is a popular dish in the Arctic regions due to its simplicity and the availability of raw fish and eggs. It is often served as a quick and easy meal, and is also a popular snack. The dish is also a symbol of Inuit culture and is often served at cultural events and festivals.

Despite its popularity, eskület is not without controversy. Some health experts have raised concerns about the safety of consuming raw fish and eggs, as they can carry bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli. However, proponents of the dish argue that the Inuit people have been consuming raw fish and eggs for thousands of years without ill effects, and that the dish is a healthy and nutritious part of their traditional diet.

In recent years, eskület has gained popularity outside of the Arctic regions, with many restaurants and food trucks offering the dish. However, the availability of raw fish and eggs may limit its availability in some areas. Despite this, eskület remains a unique and delicious dish that is an important part of Inuit culture.
