Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
Today is a good example!
I was celebrating in midsummer BBQ-party and I made some delicious reindeer ribs.
Slow cooker took the first 4 hours, then marinated sauce gave the taste.
After this, I barbecued those ribs with charcoal grill.
Few friends visited and tasted those ribs and believe it not, best BBQ meal for a while.
When I’m eating reindeer, it always takes me back to the childhood where I did eat and learn to cook reindeer stew.
I have eaten tons of reindeer stew when growing up, because from some reason it was always around.
Sure the moose was also, but reindeer gets me to the memory lane, every single time.
Kinda weird, but that’s how it has always been.
People who lives on the Arctic areas has saying:
“When we run out of money, we have to start eating reindeer and salmon”
Nothing fancy here, it has been cheap when I grew up. Nowadays it’s different, because everything has got influenced by the circumstances of the world.
It’s great meat, almost fat free and taste, OMG the taste… Sorry Santa, I just can’t believe that riding ‘em is better way than eating ‘em.
Thankfully I still have my special reindeer farmer friends, who keeps my fridges full and I must say: IM BLESSED!
Yours. “Reindeer spotter” Jay
