* back in 1972 my brother and I wandered out onto the shores of James
Bay from Moosonee, and found we hadn't brought much food other than a
pound of butter - so for some days we lived on Cattail rhizomes snipped
into 1 cm segments and fried in butter. They were pretty tasty, but when
we got back to town we went to a Chinese restaurant, and demolished the
"meal for seven persons."
