The Menu This is the reindeer carpaccio served on an iced piece of shale. We sent this image to our friends Connie and Tim who were requesting menu items, Ms. Pith suggested the title, "Cancel Christmas". Admittedly it felt a little weird pondering which of Santa's reindeer we were devouring. (Fixin' to Eat Vixen?) |
When asked the waiter about the popularity of reindeer in Iceland, he delightfully regaled us with the yearly tradition of auctioning off a reindeer. I imagined it to be like pardoning a turkey or a save the wildlife fundraiser. But no.
The winner of the lottery gets to kill the reindeer and do anything he/she wants with it--eat it, sell it to restaurants, feed the homeless (imagine for a moment being homeless in Iceland--during winter. Later it was determined that my assumption was wrong. The lottery is to get a hunting tag for the opportunity to kill a reindeer, much like we have deer tags here in the Northwoods.
But Vixen tasted REALLY good.
