hehe...

Rudolph reindeer, whale meat, seal, ptarmigan...
You name it, Scandinavians eat it. What a barbaric lot we are...LOL.

Btw, I happened upon a band of reindeer hunters when out photographing
last week-end. It was they who told me about the radioactivity. In
some parts, the Tchernobyl aftermath is still an issue. Sheep having
grazed freely in the mountains are still controlled before
slaughtered.
