Russia's planned latest export is canned reindeer!

A deal may be in the offing between Russia and Qatar to export canned halal reindeer meat.

The Arctic Yamal Nenets of Russia produces 85 percent of Russia's gas and 15 percent of its oil - but meat production is its third biggest industry and around 700,000 reindeer graze on its open pastures.

'We told the Qatari leadership that we don't only have oil and gas, we also have reindeer,' governor Dmitry Kobylkin said.
'And then a Sheikh asked, "Is reindeer halal? Can Muslims eat it?"

everything has a purpose on the planet...considering the upcoming food shortages this might be an alternative to starvation for man.
I don't think the deer would agree though if anyone asked them.

Well if you visit Russia you can! This business deal is for the export of halal meat, and apparently separate slaughter houses are underway to produce it for the Muslim market...in canned form.

Can´t say either fresh or canned reindeer appeals to my tastebuds at all.

A balance has to be kept between the number of Raindeer and the grazing lands to ensure a good regrowth for next year, so in bad years if there are too many Reindeers, some have to go for meat production.

We humans, are we too many?

Gosh you´re brave! laugh

I´m a wimp where meat is concerned. I can only eat it if it no longer resembles an animal part, and definitely not anything which is from an animal which is "different" such as reindeer.

I can´t touch rabbit or goat which are popular here and the sight of rabbit in particular at the butchers makes me really queasy. laugh

Even fish I can only eat if it has been cleaned, gutted and the heads removed by my very understanding local fishmonger who thinks I´m a bit crazy! rolling on the floor laughing

I think I should seriously think about becoming vegetarian. rolling on the floor laughing

Well dear Jan, I was in a place where you could have:
Whale, Reindeer or not to eat, so I chose Reindeer.
But, yes I am brave and I would try most everything once.
