Ambergris: "is formed from a secretion of the bile duct in the intestines of the sperm whale"

 

Quote

Ambergris is formed from a secretion of the bile duct in the intestines of the sperm whale, and can be found floating on the sea or washed up on coastlines. It is sometimes found in the abdomens of dead sperm whales.[7] Because the beaks of giant squids have been discovered within lumps of ambergris, scientists have theorized that the substance is produced by the whale's gastrointestinal tract to ease the passage of hard, sharp objects that it may have eaten.

Quoting your quote.

There are conflicting opinions as to how ambergris emerges from the whale. Some believe that the whale regurgitates the mass, earning it its well-known nickname 'whale vomit'.

We love to eat lamb - especially Lamb & Apricot roast  - a recipe that I got from my mother years ago.

De-bone a leg of lamb & stuff with a mixture of chopped dried apricots, onion, bread crumbs & one egg to bind.

It's probably the American spelling...
