cleanup date June 2008 Mousefood or Anlleq is a native food highly prized by Yupik peoples Yupik Eskimos on the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta . It consists of the roots of various tundra plants which are cached by voles in underground burrows. Types of Mousefood Raindrops are the roots of Eriophorum angustifolium Tall Cottongrass . These roots are less than an inch long and are shaped, as the name suggests, like a drop of water. They are eaten with seal oil or put in bird soup Eskimo Sweet Potatoes are the roots of Hedysarum alpinum . As the name suggests, these roots are somewhat sweet and are used in Akutaq Eskimo Ice Cream Respect for Nature Elders teach that when collecting mouse food, one should always leave half of the cache for the mouse.
