Poor Ruldolph!

Most disturbing sight in the Fortnum & Mason’s food hall on Sunday has to go to this

038

Don’t you agree?

Is that for real? I don't think that will be on my shopping list! I have better things to spend £16 on! xxx

Sadie said...

blimey! That's a bit harsh!

I was watching the repeat of Hugh F-W's Christmas last night. He had some kind of reindeery type of meat. Can't be more specific than that as I was trying to watch Miranda and Corrie at the same time! When he gleefully announced he was about to cook the tongue, channel hopping resumed! Eww.

ooh, the tins are easy peasy lemon squeezy. Quite good fun to do actually. Am starting to get *slightly* addicted!

Lululiz said...

Nooooooooooo, thats terrible, they minced Rudolph's nearest and dearest!

Alison May said...

Oh yes, reindeer pate... I have that on toast every Christmas morning. Don't we all??

LissyLou said...

eww that is horrible

Floss said...

What really appeals to me, in a weird kind of way, is that they had to specify it was 'edible'!

Obvously reindeer are a staple for the diet of Lapplanders, so OK, they get eaten, but it is a bit naff as a Christmas delicacy.

Isobel said...

Things like this make me want to cry!
Seriously! Poor creatures!

Hi Victoria

Most disturbing indeed, imagine a child spotting that! Don't like the idea of it at all... I agree with Floss it is strange how they label it as edible. I feel the same about Venisson, not for me...

Warm wishes

Lucy Pursglove-Jones said...

No way! Ewwwwwww!
I went to see some 'live' Reindeer over the weekend, Victoria; they were GORGEOUS! and a lot smaller than I expected. xx

Disturbing but funny

The Curious Cat said...

Oh dear...that is rather wrong...what were they thinking?!

claire said...

think I'll pass :(
keeping my fingers crossed for you for Friday xxx

Linda said...

Oh no, I think this is too sad and so very wrong...hugs, Linda

Michela said...

So sad, especially at Christmas time. In our mountains they eat deers, roes, even bears..

Sherri said...

Yuck! That is not appetizing at all!

lemonade kitty said...

No...it must have been someone having a joke surely. Reindeers pull Santas sleigh we all know that,then they retire and eat litchen...don't they??? Lucey xx

Pomona said...

I wonder what inedible reindeer pate is like? As a veggie, it really doesn't appeal, but presumably they anticipate some sort of demand! I think they should have had slightly more festive packaging!

OMG that is sooo wrong.

Kelly said...

Oh no!!!

Floss said...

Just showed the boys. Amused in a slightly disturbed way sums it up...

Country Cottage Chic said...

Good grief! I had to cover all my reindeers eyes very quickly so they wouldn't die of shock!

Lemondrop Marie said...

ACK! I am not eating any meat until January to be safe.

Torie Jayne said...

So sad! Have a sweet day!

Carrie @ Cottage Cozy said...

YUCKY!

Rose said...

The Girl said...

Equally disturbing is the price.
