They still eat it in Iceland.
“They still eat it in Iceland.”
...and in NJ after a stint in Canada for a week or two...same goes for moose which, IMHO, is even better eating than “boo”.
I learned recently there was a great experiment in Alaska to grow Reindeer as a cash crop. The problem was, the females ran off wifh the amorous and perhaps genetically superior wild caribou males.
We were fed reindeer cold cuts for lunch on a Finnair flight from NY to Helsinki. I didn’t care for it.
Stuff tastes good ~ like it was made for the human system.
Finland, too. We once hosted a Finnish woman who was travelling with a group of Rotarians from there, all over Western Washington state. She had prepared some standard lines in answer to questions, like "What do you eat that is different there?" She started getting shocked looks when she said "Reindeer", to which she answered, "But ours don't fly!!"
