Ræst grind and ræstur fuglur (historical)ræst grind
Ræst grind is pilot whale meat that is hung unsalted in the Faroese wind until it is half-dried and fermented, the same way as ræst mutton, fish and bird meat. A physician in 1846 called this stage "half rotten". Today pilot whale meat is mostly eaten dried or cooked, and Faroese health advisories limit or advise against eating it because of mercury and PCBs.
A short entry: the sources we found record only what is said here about Ræst grind and ræstur fuglur itself.

Ræst grind is pilot whale meat that is hung unsalted in the Faroese wind until it is half-dried and fermented, the same way as ræst mutton, fish and bird meat. A physician in 1846 called this stage "half rotten". Today pilot whale meat is mostly eaten dried or cooked, and Faroese health advisories limit or advise against eating it because of mercury and PCBs.
Ræst grind uses the same unsalted wind-drying as ræst mutton (ræst kjøt) and ræstur fiskur, but on pilot whale or bird meat. Unlike mutton, whale meat now carries health advisories.
Ræstur fuglurBird meat hung and fermented the same way.
Safety
This page records a past practice; it is not a method to follow. The meat is unsalted and half-dried, and Panum in 1846 described it as half rotten, with a mouldy look and maggots not infrequent. Pilot whale meat and blubber carry mercury and PCBs. In 2008 the Faroese Chief Medical Officer advised that pilot whale meat was no longer fit for human consumption; in 2011 the Faroese Food and Veterinary Authority, which did not support that advice, advised that a 70-kg person could eat 250 g once a month. Poorly made wind-dried meat also carries a botulism risk. In Alaska, where sea mammal foods age at neutral pH, whale was implicated in 15 of 141 confirmed botulism outbreaks from 1950 to 2010, and that toxin can be deadly.
Hazards the sources name: Clostridium botulinum (a risk in badly made wind-dried mutton; nine Faroese botulism cases were reported in 1988–2007).
Peter Ludwig Panum described the method for lamb, pilot whale, fish and bird in 1846. Until home freezers became common in the late 1960s and early 1970s, drying and fermenting was the usual way to keep animal products on the Faroe Islands.
