I'm Mi'kmaq from New Brunswick and I survived this dish , too. Actually, I really like it. The only thing my Mum did was to fry the nose in margarine after the first boil and then fry onion and garlic(2). MmMm, nose !

My mother and her family of Ojibway roots have also boiled up a moose nose on a successful hunt and I have tasted it and I'm still here. Tonge is also another boiled dish they do and I must admit as a young young girl, I often requested one for my bd gift from from grandpa since my bd was during the hunting season.
