That's a brilliant connection and likely correct. I'll bet Marc
researched disgusting foods of the word while writing that piece and I've
come across descriptions of the "awks stuffed in dead seal"
delicacy before. Clearly starving people will eat anything, and perhaps
there is an effect that is the reverse of the one that makes you averse
to a new foods you ate right before throwing up. The rotten fish
you found buried on the beach saved your live, so now rotten fish is the
best ever, to be eaten on special occasions! How did someone even get the
idea of stuffing a seal carcass with dead awks and then coming back next
year to eat them?<br><br>

Possible pun? Kiviak is an Inuit word for fermented auks. The
fermentation is done by placing several auks (whole with feathers and
beaks) in the carcass of a seal for several months until the whole bird
is edible with the exception of the feathers. Here's a piece
describing the process of fermentation:
