Adventures in dining, revisited

What do moose and lingonberries taste like? Glad you asked!

Hard to describe the taste of moose. We had it served like a steak, and it tasted something like beef and something like venison, but not quite an exact version of either one. Matt described the taste as a "fishy steak," but I don't really agree with that. It was weird, but good. I have to confess, though, that my stomach is a little angry at me today. I have what I would call a "moose hangover." I don't think I'll be in the mood for any sort of culinary adventures tonight. As a matter of fact, fizzy water and saltine crackers sound pretty good right about now.

As for lingonberries, I'd describe them as a cross between cranberries and pomegranate seeds. They're round, tart, bright red, and really tasty. I'd definitely have those again. Moose... Not so much.

  2. IKEA serves a delicious meatball with lingonberry sauce. So good! Hope your stomach ended its revolt and you're enjoying your trip. How was Matt's presentation?
