Rudolf the red nose dinner?

Over at suvalley news are various articles on reindeer and their roles in teaching, tourist attractions, clothing, shelter, and yes, food. It is a traditional food of the Alaskan natives. Some examples of fine reindeer delicacies include sausage, meatballs, stew, and simply filets. Would you be willing to eat reindeer (or caribou, as it is called when wild in North America)? And, if you've eaten it before, what do you think of it?

It's pretty lean, pretty strong, and pretty good.

I had it smoked, over potatoes, with lingonberries sprinked on top. Gamey, strong flavor, but savory and pretty delicious - reminded me a little bit of corned beef.



Here's the address/phone for the restaurant the next time y'all are in Helsinki:



Lappi

Annankatu 22;

Helsinki, Fin.
