Reindeer meat
●

Looking for a treat for the kids this Christmas? Why not serve up Donner, Blitzen, and Dasher for dinner?

Lidl, the cheap and cheerful German supermarket, is selling frozen reindeer steaks at £5.99 for a 350g pack. Mmm mmm. Snipe suggests serving it with a roasted tomato and calling it ‘Rudolf’s nose.’

Animal rights spoilsports Viva wants the store to drop the dish, as the reindeer are chased on snowmobiles and motorcycles, as well as helicopters, which sounds pretty scary for them but is probably less scary than the killing, butchering, and eating.
