We were in Northern Norway in February and we went on a husky dog ride. They served up Reindeer soup, followed by reindeer stew and it was really delicious. I have to say that I could not have eaten reindeer before, but we were starving in Norway as it is so expensive to eat out. Now I am pleased we tried it as I would definately eat it again. As for the taste, it was well cooked with loads of vegetables and hard to distinguish it from beef in texture. The soup and stew were really strong and tasty.
