Reindeer for Dinner... - digg this
In Alaska those famous flying reindeer are being served up for dinner. You can get Caribou steaks, roasts, and reindeer jerky and sausage- in mild and hot versions. Reindeer hot dogs are a summer time treat, as well as being served during the start of the Iditarod dog sled race every year in March. Caribou, also called reindeer, have a very flavorful and lean, healthy meat. To make sausage with it, you actually have to add fat from other sources such as beef and pork. It is sometimes hard to find but Ikea sells it all across Europe. So how about a nice spit roasted reindeer for the Holidays?
I find food taboos very interesting. In this country you'd probably have some people be upset by this. Or the eating of St. Bernards in certain Asian countries. Personally I think I'd have a problem eating something that I consider to be a pet or that has an association, like this does, with a beloved childhood memory. But meat's meat right? Are there any foods that you'd refuse to try on principal?
