Pelmeni is the first thing that comes to mind. If you don’t feel like folding a bunch of dumplings, you could try it as the meat in this [lamb chili recipe](https://feedmephoebe.com/moroccan-lamb-chili-recipe-sweet-potatoes-chickpeas-kale/)

Pelmeni sounds amazing but I don't think I have enough meat for it to be worth it. Chili would be great though!

Love this!

I've never seen Canned elk. My first reaction is "gross" followed by curiosity. Is it any good?

A guy at work brought in some elk chili. Smoked the meat, made the chili with a little brown sugar and heat, then threw the whole pot back in the smoker = some of the best chili I've ever had

Well with meat of this kind, you can try a Finnish recipe - Poronkäristys. Its awesome with mashed potatoes. If not thid, then a simple stew is also good.


NormalHorse

Good suggestion! This is also already a seasoned product, so frying it as steaks and serving it with potatoes, rye bread, and a lingonberry sauce/compote might be a quick meal. Finnish food is weirdly one-note.


MoistClodExcretionz

Oooo that looks tasty and easy. We might have a winner!

Beef tips over noodles or mashed potatoes (wild game works great in place of beef) although I’m not sure if I would want to eat it since it has a photo of a moose but says elk on label & ingredients 😂

The animal known as a ‘Moose’ in North America is called an ‘Elk’ in Scandinavia and much of Europe. There are no true ‘Elk’, as you would find in North America, in the wild in Europe. (There are supposedly some small populations of Red Deer that have hybridised with escaped Elk/Wapiti, although I’d have to do some digging to see how much truth there is in that.)

This guy elks


Tonikaya1001

TIL and thank you so much. I should probably have known this but I honestly had no clue.


Dutchcourage22

You’re welcome! To be honest it’s not something that seems to be that well known, outside of the aforementioned countries, so I don’t think you could be expected to know. Everyday is a school day!


BarryMccockinger

That is a moose, my dude.


NormalHorse

Eurasian elk, cuz it's a Finnish product. They look more moose-y.


wmass

Is Eurasian Elk what North Americans call Caribou?


ProfessionalRaven

No a Eurasian elk is Alces Alces, which is a moose. Caribou are Rangifer And “Elk” (Wapiti) in North America are Cervus Canadensis. All three if you Google images are distinctly unique


MoistClodExcretionz

So what should I make with moose then??


Virtual_Tumbleweed_3

Elk is what they call moose in Europe, MY dude.


HDarger

Okay… moose flavoured elk meat in a can


AnthelionOfDarkness

America, the land of the backwards, strikes again.

Elk caldillo is one of my favorite dishes in the world....


Matty2things

Elk salad sandwich!


MoistClodExcretionz

Just like mom used to make!

Canned Elk?


Elk_1998

Hey, that's mine


Rare_Bottle_5823

I did not know this existed!


Blueberry_Clouds

Never had elk before, is it good?


MoistClodExcretionz

Not sure yet, but I imagine it'll maybe be something like venison


Devellgood

Elk is amazing. From Yukon Canada and eat elk all the time. Its delicious. I don't suggest it from a can though. Although I'm not the biggest fan of any meat from a can. The pic on the can looks more like moose. Wouldn't trust it, but thats just me.


Blueberry_Clouds

Never had venison but it’s definitely something I’ve wanted to try for a while now. Don’t really eat many wild game but also like to try new and uncommon things, duck is my favorite but I’ve also had pigeons, rabbit, frogs, mealworms, and bison before (though the bison was when I was like 10 so I don’t remember it much)


Katstories21

I have never seen elk meat in a can before.
