Reindeer, Yum Yum
Spent the day at the world famous Swedish home furnishing shop to replace some kitchen cupboard fronts that have developed a manufacturing fault over the last two years. The kitchen doors etc. are from the Duverum range (now discontinued, I wonder why) and the covering started cracking and letting any moisture in which made the wood underneath expand and balloon off the finish.
They are covered by a 10 year guarantee and IKEA have replaced all the external doors, trim, plinth etc. (even those unaffected) for free, without quibble, and without wanting to see the old Duverum. I suspect it's a known problem.
Anyway, the main reason for writing, rather than praise IKEA's customer service, was in the IKEA resturant they had a Christmas special menu of reindeer steak and chips. It was delicious, very lean and tender with a gamey; slightly liver like taste. Elizabeth wasn't that impressed when I told her I'd eaten a Reindeer for lunch.
