Food in Antarctica is very important, and there are several dishes typical of the continent. [1]
The vast majority of food is imported to Antarctica, as fishing and hunting other wild animals are prohibited. In the past, however, this ban did not apply, and for example, as late as the 1960s, penguin eggs were commonly eaten there. On some polar stations, small amounts of vegetables and herbs are grown. At polar stations, the cuisine typically reflects the country to which the station belongs. Explorers in the field usually have access to high-energy foods, such as chocolate. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
At Australia’s Casey Station, beer production took place from the 1990s; however, in 2021 this brewing was banned by the Australian government. [6] [7]
On Midwinter Day, the main Antarctic holiday, celebrated during the winter solstice on June 20 or 21, which has been observed since the early 20th century, many Antarctic research stations hold a festive multi-course banquet. Because there are no winter supply deliveries to the stations, the ingredients for this feast are usually brought in several months in advance. The banquet often features special delicacies not normally served at the stations, such as various alcoholic beverages, steak, or lobster. Before the ban on hunting Antarctic wildlife, Midwinter Day celebrations also included dishes made from the meat of local animals. [8] [9]
