Excellent food! Especially when served with wild mushrooms, lingonberries and a good sauce containing sour cream and a hint of goat cheese. And potatoes, of course. (I do know some people in other countries see us as barbarians, since "we eat Santa’s helpers".)

I don’t have mileage figures on reindeer.

Ah, but thanks mainly to Disney we have a very distorted view of the animal kingdom. Deer are rather nasty creatures before they've been smoked and salted, whereas wolves have an extended-family social structure and are rather more important for the ecosystem.

Can you purchase reindeer in the market? If I want deer, duck, pheasant and to a limited extent goose in Canada you mainly have to pick up the Remington and go for a walk.

p.s. dogsleds get pretty good mileage but they can't manage the turns at the drive-thru.

Yep, frozen reindeer is available at most supermarkets. And you can buy canned reindeer meatballs just about everywhere.

Back to gasoline… These days most of the reindeer herding is done by snowmobile.

For the sake of others lets be clear he means cuts of meat, not the entire animal :eek:

I drive past an IKEA regularly, have to see if they have any joika.

Considering the exchange rate and volume conversion, gas in Halifax is selling for US$3.47/Gal. In Portsmouth, New Hampshire the price is $2.61 so while we pay Cdn$1.03/liter, the Portsmouth price converted to Halifax would be Cdn 61¢/liter.

Wow! You just hit upon the perfect yard or house decoration for Christmas. String a few lights around the antlers and good to go. Maybe a new tradition.... a bowl of reindeer stew for New Year's Day... right after the last bowl game.

If you come not only will I help you, but I'll take you to some of the better local eateries ;).

It might hearten you to know that there are a few people around here who are already doing what you propose. I guess it can be thought of as "tough love", we know there needs to be a change, but we also know people won't change unless they are (practically) forced to.

No reindeer here but we are paying $1.23 /L for diesel and $1.10/L for unleaded.
Thats about US$1.03 /L diesel and US$0.92/L unleaded.

Stewie

jeez... thats getting on for HALF the price we are paying in the UK.... Diesel and Petrol have hit parity at £1.05 (2.03 aussie $)

Roll on Hydrogen or Electric cars....!

got to love how 2p was added to petrol tax over england. Was in london last week and i saw £1.10/l everwhere.

Back in manchester its a mere £1.05

Dammit and i wanted to start driving this year.... oh well, i think its wise to invest in a skateboard

.
Just curious -- what is the cost of the calories you consume by skateboarding, say, 20 miles? Might be more than a couple of quid, mate! :D
.

hmm...and id have to take lessons to learn how to ride one..


im leaning to a segway now

Finally went in. No Joika - lots of bëef, hærring, pøtato chips and cöokies.

Gas is currently US$1.32 | €0.94 / litre

I pay nothing for fuel.I subscribe to a car pool. I book the car per hour or per day, and it's all inclusive.
