Festive Feast - A Little Drabble Do Ya! - Dec 9th

Napoleon slowly lowered the fork full of steak back to the plate and glared at Illya.

“It’s what?”

“I don’t see what your problem is with it,” the Russian replied, continuing to shovel the meat into his mouth. “You’ve eaten such things, and worse, while on assignment.”

“We’re not on assignment,” Solo countered. “When you invited me out for traditional Russian food, I didn’t expect this.”

“It’s eaten all the time in Siberia,” Illya told him. “It’s used the same way you use cows.”

“I know that,” Napoleon practically wailed. “But it just isn’t right to eat reindeer around Christmas."

Hahahaha! We had a favorite restaurant in Reno (Le Moulin) and the chef made the mistake of putting rabbit on the menu for Easter. Parents had some fast explaining to do.


Great story!

I love rabbit, but even I would think twice around Easter :-)

Good one!

Sacrilegious? Venison, if that's what you call reindeer meat, is isn't bad. Cultural difference in foods can be a shock when one isn't forewarned. I mean...what if they were in Peru and Illya made him guinea pig for dinner...eeeek!

I've tasted bear, alligator, conch fritters, and the venison but that's about it for what I consider a bit more exotic food. Never had rabbit, but they say it tastes like chicken...

Thank you :-)
Rabbit is lovely. It has a vague taste of chicken but it's much more gamey.

Hehehe. Was it Dasher, Dancer, Prancer or Vixen? Very funny!

Thank you :-)
I don't know which one it was, but I'm sure it was delicious.

Have to say I agree with Napoleon, it could be Rudolf

I could happily eat it 11 months of the year, but it just doesn't seem right in December.

I love reindeer! One of my favourite restaurants put it specially on the menu for the xmas season. Mmmm.

Very funny drabble - I can imagine Napoleon's expression.

Thank you :-)
I love it too, just not at Christmas.
