Answer for question 4172.

[Error: unknown template qotd]This is probably pretty tame, but I have eaten reindeer meat. A co-worker brought it back from Sweden. He joked about eating Rudolph and I had a hard time eating it. It didn't strike me as something I would try again.

Yeah, back in the days I liked to try different things, although I did always make sure it was either privately hunted, from a local farm, or organig (which is easier in Europe - the US organic standards are a bit laughable, in my opinion).

The most interesting thing I've recently tried out was to add cinnamon to tomato sauce - amazing results!!!

Yeah, I try to buy local when I can. A lot of the organic stuff that I can have delivered makes me a little iffy.

Oooh, you know, I had a great recipe for raisin chili that called for cinnamon. It was really good! I haven't made it in some time. My husband didn't care for it :-) But the raisins plumped back up into grapes - it was awesome!

Raisin chili sounds very intriguing! Could be a good idea for my next vegan chili project! I like putting raisins in savoury dishes to add a little sweetness.
