has anyone ever tried caribou I hear its good but never tried it
It's good. It tastes like red meat.
I have no idea. I had it in a resto. In Quebec only farmed game can be sold.would love to try some but we don't get that in Louisiana is there a place in Canada that will ship it?
If you order reindeer, be sure to get gjetost and lingonberries so you can add those to your gravy. I imagine you can get those closer to home.yes, but reindeer is better. try to get a leg o' rudolph.
there's a place in florida that sells (oddly) norwegian stuff. a reindeer leg on a stand is a specialty. i'm thinking of ordering one for chrismas.
Haven't had caribou, but have had its close relative, elk, many times. For a long time there was a ranch just south of us where we would buy it. Sadly, last year they had to put down the entire herd because of brain wasting disease. It took the wind out of the owner's sails, and he never resurrected the business again.
I know it's hypocritical when I cheerfully scoff cows, sheep and pigs, but I balk at the thought of eating Rudolph.yes, but reindeer is better. try to get a leg o' rudolph.

I found it much like White Tail with a slightly different flavor. Much better then the moose which I thought was much more of a greasy meat.

Interesting, I have had moose more times than any other game, and I found it to be the best game meat I ever had. Loved it.
If the carcass is gutted quickly after being shot and the meat is handled carefully, I don't find a "gamey" taste. I have eaten moose, deer, caribou, bear, partridge, snowshoe hare.
Oops, I didn't mean partridge, I meant grouse (another game bird). I forgot porcupine. That's similar to bear. They are the exception to "gut immediately". You want to wait about 1/2 an hour with porcupine. The quills keep moving for that long and you really don't want to get quilled.Have eaten all of those, except Partridge. What is it?
Scratch that. Just looked up on Wiki. I have eaten that too. I love all the game. Bear is a special treat.
