Cuisine
Tomians traditionally hunters and fishers. They hunt whales, seal, polar bears, birds and fish. Seaweed, berries and roots is also eaten. In winter, the staple foods are stroganina and akutaq (The traditional recipe is made with reindeer milk, raspberries, blueberries and sugar). Fish is eaten raw, frozen or dried. Yukola is made from fish that are left for a long period of storage or for long trips, stored in small bags. Caviar and whale meat are considered a delicacy. Water, broths from various fish, reindeer milk and a cocktail made from milk and various berries are used as a drink. Meat products are very often infused with the blood of the animals from which the dish was made.
Tomians believe that food from other cultures is extremely tasteless, so they avoid any meals if they do not have food from Tomian cuisine and even under such conditions they will eat it worse, because they believe that only Tomians can cook Tomian food. This idea reaches such an absurdity that even the water that was not collected by a Tomian, they consider terribly tasteless.
On the first day of the polar night, it is customary to eat fried great auk meat (As a symbol of the death of the day). After the end of the polar night, it is customary to eat fried eggs of the great auk (As a symbol of the rebirth of the day). A few months before the beginning of the polar night, part of the food is canned as reserves.
