reindeer on toast

after the 'antwich' as it has been dubbed, i had a little look at the company that sold such delights. the company is called edible and they sell lots of strange and wonderful things - lizard wine, weasel coffee (unfortunately not made from weasels, just their coffee-filled vomit), bags of mopani worms . i myself opted for a couple of things and reindeer paté is the first to be consumed, better than having a few reindeer's kicking their heels in the dust for 11 months.i must let you know that i currently have a terrible cold and i am hoping that the reindeer paté will contain some magical properties that might kill it off. it also meant i couldn't give the meat, which i have to say looks like dog food, a good old sniff. my housemates have let me know that it does actually smell like dog food too. joy. i know paté usually comes with jelly/fat when tinned, but the goo inside this can was fairly odd looking and feeling, but i couldn't let it go to waste. i figured reindeer would go down nicely on a couple of slices of toast and with a lovely mug of tea.
the flavour of this is strong. come to think of it, it must be really strong as it tasted strong and i have a fairly blocked up nose! it wasn't untasty though and for fairness my friend stole some and said it tasted 'pretty non-descript really, like paté and quite dry'. lois said it tasted like a big animal, which i guess it did. because it was. i probably wouldn't go for it again as a tinned paté though if it were presented to me some other way i would give it a chew.

just enough time to say the programme (kill it, cook it, eat it) on bbc3 will be on tonight and i am wondering if i have been cleverly edited to look either a) evil, b) nervous or c) nervous and evil. i will also add that i have a new feature coming to beastfeaster very, very soon! excitement! a clue is on my macbook screen in the last picture of this post.

Do let us know how they portray you. Hope it brings some traffic to your site.

I totally know what is on your Macbook screen :) Too easy!

Love the text on the can "Farm raised relative of Rudolph". Bahaha.

"lois said it tasted like a big animal"
What on earth does a big animal taste like?
