Reindeer can and do fly

[kia027]

Turns out the myth of flying reindeer might not be that far from the truth: According to a piece in Pharmaceutical Journal by scientist Andrew Haynes, they (along with other animals) sometimes deliberately eat hallucinogenic fungi in order to amuse themselves during long winters.

The Sun reports:

Haynes believes <span style="font-weight: bold">reindeer deliberately seek out the mushrooms to escape the monotony of dreary long winters.</span>

Writing in the respected Pharmaceutical Journal, Mr Haynes said: &quot;They have a desire to experience altered states of consciousness.

&quot;For humans a common side-effect of mushrooms is the feeling of flying, so it's interesting the legend about Santa's reindeer is they can fly.&quot;

In a slightly less appetizing tidbit, Haynes went on to say that herdsmen have been known to drink their own reindeer's urine in an effort to catch a buzz themselves.

Or is it simply That They eat it by mistake due to the lack of light with the absence of the sun's rays for much of the period when the eat it.

After all they have to dig through sometimes feet of snow to get to their food during the winter.

After that much effort they would probably eat rocks.

Taste like goat is right.

The secret is that the majority of what was sold for goat meet in major resturants is really ewe or female deer meat imported from Australia.

So many Jamaicans are more accostom to deer meat then goat meat.

They Just font know.

Adult female sheep are referred to as ewes, intact males as rams

&quot;Simple&quot; things are often deeper than they seem...

<span style="font-weight: bold">Magic Mushrooms &amp; Reindeer</span>

The hallucinogenic fly agaric mushroom is one of the favorite foods of the arctic circle reindeer (domesticated caribou) in Scandinavia.

Reindeer are central to the lives of the indigenous Saami peoples who herd them. The shamanic traditions of the Saami include eating the mushrooms and contacting the &quot;Great Reindeer Spirit.&quot;

Ingesting fly agaric mushrooms can produce a sensation of flying. It is thought that the 19th century myth of Santa Claus may have its roots in older Saami traditions.</span>

Yes I know but the ewe that Chas E Ramson imported are described as farm raised deer.
And that was over 30 years ago.
I am sure it continue to be so today.

After all that is what the majority as com to accept as curry goat by taste and texture.
Although they recognize the difference with jamaican goat in the instances the are served it.

I planned to cook the patridge and the pear tree this year but it did not work out.

May be next year.
