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?Rudolf the red nose dinner?

2Yup, it's yum. Reindeer is also the traditional food of the Saami people (or Laplanders) of Finland, etc. Have had it as smoked meat and sausage. My brother was ticked off because even tho it was a packaged food, US Customs confiscated it last time he came back.
It's pretty lean, pretty strong, and pretty good.
3I made a special effort to try reindeer when I was in Helsinki, at the traditional Finnish restaurant Lappi (one of Rick Steves's recommendations). 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.
