Caffe Offers a Reindeer Menu For Christmas

Caffe Boa in Tempe, Arizona is offering an all reindeer menu just in time for Christmas. From the article: "The menu begins with caribou tartare gilded with pickled quail egg. That's followed by caribou tongue bruschetta with pickled watermelon radish and horseradish cream. Then there's caribou sausage with red lentils and quince mustard. Up next are two pasta courses: pappardelle with caribou Bolognese and caribou-filled tortellini in a parmesan broth. The caribou parade ends with bollito misto, a meat and vegetable stew." Last Easter, chef Payton Curry offered a special all-rabbit dinner.

Of course

Garnished with a really bright red reindeer nose, I presume.

Win. Can you get extra-large maraschino cherries?

Actually, I had some reindeer jerky in Alaska, and it's the best jerky I've ever had, by far. Ostrich comes in a respectable second, with everything else far behind.

Not all that remarkable

In the Nordic countries, reindeer isn't so uncommon, especially at touristy places.
