I think the product Meow is referring to is known as "viltskav" in Sweden.
It's just thinly sliced deer, moose and reindeer meat, the other 10% is
water. I seriously doubt that neither of these are farmed (well, reindeers
are sort of... kept). Farming moose in Sweden would be quite silly.


Squash and peppers are probably excellent with viltskav. But I
usually stay pretty close to tradition cooking this. Think Swedish forest --
lingonberries, rowanberries, juniper berries, mushrooms. Onions and parsnip,
perhaps. But I prefer brown rice instead of tradional mashed potatoes (not
as Swedish though).
