Blubber Nuggets are said to be an Alaskan delicacy. Similar to chicken nuggets, they are shaped the same, are coated with some sort of breading, and are served in a small box. The only difference is the content since chicken nuggets contain ground chicken while blubber nuggets appear to be made of whale blubber as evidenced by the whale on the blubber nugget box. The texture of a blubber nugget is obviously chewy considering that everyone who has tasted one says so.
Background[]
The blubber nuggets first appears in Odd Ball, where it is said that the Alaskans eat them. A commercial for blubber nuggets also informs the audience that Farmer Ahab manufactures them.
People noting "Hey, they're chewy!" after tasting one becomes a running gag.
In the brief blubber nugget commercial, it is said that Farmer Ahab manufactured the whale blubber nuggets. This is a reference to Captain Ahab from Herman Melville's book Moby Dick.
