Blue whale skeleton at New Bedford museum still oo...
I thought whale oil was what you get when you boil the fatty tissue of the whale. Why would the skeleton have any oil in it?

Get the leg bone of a calf (preferably split) medium oven for 20mins.
Some nice toast, chopped capers and parsley to help you clean up the oil. You’re welcome.

I'm sorry whoever I offended enough to downvote this. I didn't realize whale skeletons were a touchy subject. I'm not an American so I don't know.

I’m confident that for every grumpy down voter that thinks they’re on Reddit, there a few others that will upvote an honest question that is getting downvoted to counteract. So Ms. Grumpy Redditor had the opposite of the desired effect.
