He, yes, we had a discussion concerning the difference between elk and moose
a year or so ago. "Elk" would be Alces alces, while caribou would hardly be
obtainable. Reindeer OTOH can be had for a small amount of money, year
round, even if it is frozen.
Roe has a very gamey taste (here in Sweden, at least), comparable to fallow
deer. It stood up magnificently to these (slightly) brooding beasts ...

Cheers
