Pippa Middleton, the sister of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, writes about her worldly food experiences for the U.K. paper, the Telegraph. Recently, Middleton shared her experience eating whale carpaccio in Norway - and incurred the ire of the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

"Dinner, cooked by Knut, was served on a large communal table in the cowshed, creating a wonderfully convivial atmosphere," Middleton wrote about her dinner on day three. "We dined on smoked whale carpaccio (which tastes similar to smoked salmon but looks more like venison carpaccio), followed by a signature rustic Norwegian dish of salted cod in tomato, with hunks of fresh homemade bread to mop up the sauce. We made our way back to our designer pod in the dark, anxious not to ruin our closeness to the natural world by putting on the lights. Luckily our room key had a torch attached..."

"Pippa is not known for common sense or compassion, but it still beggars belief that anyone, let alone someone from a country like ours, where whale meat has long been banned, could be oblivious to the uproar over Norway's slaughter of these gentle giants," Elisa Allen, associate director of PETA U.K., told E! News. "Does she think or read? What's next, a panda steak or an elephant canapé?"

Allen continued, according to E! News: "These whales are harpooned and bled to death before they're gutted. If Pippa is looking for a culinary experience, some of the best high-end vegan food - recently named by Forbes magazine as a top food trend - can be found in Norway, and it's good for the heart, an organ Pippa seems to lack."

Ouch.

Maybe Middleton should take a minute from helping her very pregnant sister, Kate, prepare for the royal baby.

PETA is still waiting for an apology, Pippa.
