“We call them Quagciq (wild sourdock plant) in Yup'ik, I don’t know what we call it in English. I take the stem off, like this first, and this is what I cook. The only recipe I know is boil it really good until it’s mushy, drain it, and then smash it, put a lot of sugar in. Mix it with sugar and milk or seal oil.”--Annie Cleveland is Yup'ik from Quinhagak, Alaska.
