Presumably like Venison you need to cook them quite rare? Any idea?

Reindeer are no more endangered than sheep are, really. They're a staple in the scandanavian countries.

It was 2 steaks for £6, but they were frozen so i am going to caserole them for a good couple of hours.

They are from sustained wild siberian stocks.

Actually my neices and nephews are coming round in early December so I may wait until then and serve it with a cherry tomato on top!

Upside = Rudolph (tasty)

Downside = Lidl's

Had reindeer several years ago. Seem to recall it's quite salty but you might do a google search on that.

nowt wrong with Lidl! Some of their stuff isn't the best but beats Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's for price and quality of meat!! well i reckon so

Really, what's the problem with Lidl? i'm not sure where this prejudice comes from, probably the appearence of the shops, but really most of their stuff is great.

I did see those Rudolph steaks, but i was a little more interested in the velvet crab anyone tried them?

After the fuss in the press about Lidl ruining christmas for the kiddies ( Daily Wail) I popped into mine to have a gander.

Predictably they had sold out - as the checkout guy said "nothing like a bit of press controversy to boost sales"
They still had springbok though - checkout guy said its like a leaner venison, but I still passed up on it. Did get some quail and partridge though as I've not tried cooking them before.
Also saw the velvet crabs - I'd be interested to know what you do with them as they look a bit small to treat like normal crab?

A chap at work bought in some smoked reindeer, it was delicious, very tender and lean.

LMAO the Daily Mail is so ridiculous - an article denouncing Lidl for 'destroying the magic of Christmas by selling dead reindeer' alongside a recipe for reindeer stew from that awful Ramsey bloke. You couldn't make it up.

Not tried it yet - though their Vodka is very good...

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.
