Last time I had reindeer, it was served quickly fried after we cut it from the the beast hanging in my shed and served with simple gravy from the pan. Good times, those were, good times. That was such a long time ago now, though, maybe eight years?

Actually the last time I ate reindeer was later on that same trip to Finland and it was pretty tasty. I was on a train and there was this guy with a whole cured reindeer leg, just carryin' it around in his hand, cuttin' chunks off with a knife, givin' the chunks to people on the train to eat.

God I love the Finns.

Is there reindeer poutine? Like, is that a thing that exists?

Slick · « **Reply #153 on:** 26 Apr 2010, 10:36 »

No I think we just got distracted by Norwegian cuisine.
Reindeer poutine probably has happened before though. It is a Quebecois dish and there are plenty of caribou in Quebec.

If it makes brown gravy, it's poutinable.

I have been eating this for YEARS & didn't know it was Candian or that it had a name. I'm happy to find out both of these things.

I am also super disturbed by the whole white gravy thing, if it was called sauce I feel it wouldn't upset me so much.

As for arguing about regional names for things, I was once being bullied & picked on at work (Not all the time, it was just that sort of atmosphere & it was my turn I gues) I dodged it by using the word "COB" which to me means a small bread roll, hopefully filled with bacon.
This started a massive argument about what it was called & could slip out unnoticed & smoke fags.

Slick · « **Reply #159 on:** 27 Apr 2010, 13:36 »

Speaking of fags, my friend said to a guy, after being away in the military, "Can I hit you up for a fag?" and the guy thought he was threatening to beat him up and stayed away from him forever after that. Which was OK because that guy wasn't really a guy you ever really wanted to talk to anyways.

Kris speaks the truth. And we're not just talking about tenderizing by leaving it out in the shade for a day or so, we're talking actual decay. Take "rakfisk", for instance! Rakfisk is made by putting fish in a sealed barrel at some point in October and leaving it there until Christmas. That is the whole process! You put a fish in a barrel and leave it there for three months! When you take it out it smells so bad that the cutting board you slice it on has to be burned because the stench never, ever goes away.

Or what about lutefisk? Again with the fish, only this time you put it in lye until it takes on the texture and feel of fish jell-o. Then you hose it down with water so you don't die from the lye, and serve it up!

I have a pretty strong stomach but I actually feel kind of ill from this.

There is a new poutine place in Toronto called Poutini's. Will let you know how great it is (apparently it is really great).

mberan42 · « **Reply #163 on:** 05 May 2010, 13:16 »

Wasn't there a video game character that used to yell "poutini!" in a high-pitched voice? I can hear it, but I can't see the character.

Late to the party on this, but yeah, Jens and Kris weren't exaggerating at all. Minnesota has a ton of people of Norwegian descent, including one side of my family, yet the only uniquely Norwegian foods that I have ever really even heard of are lefse and lutefisk, with the latter only really persisting as a strange hybrid of practical joke/cultural icon as opposed to something that people actually eat. It's like all the Norwegians moved to Minnesota and just decided to eat whatever the Poles and Irish were having instead.

maybe its just because i come from ukranian heritage but i was raised on perogies and based on the amount of room taken up by them in the grocery stores here, this shocks me both on moral and social levels. Did you have them with farmer sausage/sour cream/saur kraut/bacon/any of the above?

edit- i cannot continue my day without extrapolating on this subject, for those new to perogies or who wish to enhance their perogie experience, you can make even store-bought frozen perogies awesome with the following procedures:

1) begin by sauteing onions and garlic in butter, keep the heat low as you will be needing these for a while
2) you should have your perogie water boiling, timed so that when they are floating/done the boiling stage they can be transferred to your pan of onions and garlic to which you
3) add diced bacon/bacon bits to the pan as well, the desired effect is to give the perogies a solid crisp and browned shell
4) if you have saur kraut or keilbasa/farmer/garlic sausage, have some of this cut into bite-sized pieces and cooked up as well to serve with the above.
5) top with sour cream and chives

et voila (it is hard to google perogies with the desired accompaniments)

David_Dovey · « **Reply #176 on:** 09 May 2010, 21:09 »

I had never even heard of pierogies before I met The Canadian Lady, they (like poutine!) are just not even on the radar here. Which is odd because it's not like we don't have a shitload of Slavs. Although apparently there is a specialty Polish store that sells frozen pierogies here.

I had em with sauerkraut and bacon and potato but I had run out of sour cream! I was bummed. The Lady brought them to me and they were leftover so they had been boiled already, so I quickly fried them until they were slightly crispy and golden brown amd ohhhh maaannnn I want some right now.

I'm seriously debating requesting cheese curds for Christmas from my in-laws back in Wisconsin so I can make poutine when I get home. I'd have to say poutine is definitely in the top three things I miss about Canada.

I think it was an advert for something. Possibly along the lines of "don't get drunk/do drugs/fall down stairs".

I used to be able to do stuff like that. Not to that extent, but there's an art to doing good pratfall down a flight of stairs.

I am nowhere near flexible enough to do it anymore. Not to mention the bruising...

A pokemonesque starch evolution, courtesy of Loldwell:

My wife has insisted I try poutine, but she wants me to get the "most authentic kind", meaning we'd have to drive up to where the rest of her family lives, in New Brunswick.
