>Similarly there's an Eskimo traditional food where they bury a bunch of seabirds for months until they are fermented so they have food for the winter
They stuff them in a skin of a seal, cover the openings with fat and lite the rocks on top to keep the oxygen out.

>Up to 500 whole auks are packed into the seal skin, beaks and feathers included. As much air as possible is removed from the seal skin before it is sewn up and sealed with seal fat, which repels flies. It is then hidden in a heap of stones, with a large rock placed on top to keep the air out. Over the course of three months, the birds ferment, and are then eaten during the arctic winter, particularly on birthdays and weddings.

Now imagine a few hundreds of whole birds being stuffed in a seal skin and left to ferment for a few months?
