I guess the name bavette comes from the French language. Not reindeer but cow. The cheap parts usually made into ground meat. Fried on very high temp, only one or two minutes per side and then cut across the grain.

Game of Thrones tribute dinner on the go for tonight.
Beef and bacon pie, all from scratch. And from the fire and ice cook book.

Just about ready to assemble.
It's in the oven now, as are the medieval baked Granny Smith apples and my version of the north man buns. Doing mine with sharp cheese and garlic but also from scratch.
Only thing missing is the mead.

Nicely done! It must smell amazing in Casa de Mike.
We just finished Season 5 this morning.

'Twas delicious,

Held together on the plate nicely, I like a firm slice of meat pie. Let the gravy make it runny,

And Granny Smith baked and stuffed with walnuts, dried cranberries, brown sugar and maple syrup reduction for dessert.

Fully full and having a bourbon before the show starts.

Gawd....that really does look beautiful !!

1st attempt at Kimchi. Too much ginger. I'm going to let it ferment some more and see if it will tame the ginger. If not, this batch will be scrap.

Copied from Wikipedia. Regarding the cloudberry, cause I'm curious as well.

Cloudberries occur naturally throughout the Northern Hemisphere from 78°N, south to about 55°N, and very scattered south to 44°N mainly in mountainous areas. In Europe they grow in the Nordic countries and the Baltic states. In Asia across northern Russia east towards the Pacific Ocean. Small populations are also found further south, as a botanical vestige of the Ice Ages; it is found in Germany's Weser and Elbe valleys, where it is under legal protection, and in the moorlands of Britain and Ireland.[citation needed] In North America, cloudberries grow wild across most of northern Canada, Alaska, northern Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Maine; there is a historical record of a small population formerly occurring on Long Island east of New York City.[3][4]

How about Ikea?

I am going to have to try this now....

My wife is going this weekend to northern Minnesota this weekend but I think it is the wrong time of the year to harvest them.

I will ask her to look as the girls shop. But if that doesn't work there is a Swedish shop a few miles from me that has jam.
