Not the corner store but it was on the way to the “big” grocery store, 30 to 40 minutes away… depending on weather, sheep and of course, the odd reindeer!
We cooked it at home semi-regularly, doing nothing we wouldn’t do to beef and there was never a hint of gamey-flavour. The children actually preferred it to beef!
You’re welcome, Joanne. How wonderful to have lived there. I am planning to go there at the end of September for one week. Maybe we catch the northern lights.
Would you recommend this time of the year to go there or rather another one?
How exciting Lucile – I’d go back in a heartbeat. Anytime you are in Iceland is a good time to visit I’d say! Personally, if I *had* to pick a time of the year, I’d say February and June – February as the snow really highlighted the volcano craters in the centre of Iceland (driving was a white-knuckle though due to ice on the roads) and June for the wildflowers. We lived in East Iceland, which is a little different to the West Coast. Where are you planning to visit?
It’s very exciting, Joanne. We always wanted to go there, and now we are making serious plans.
My husband was suggesting to go from west to east, stopping in different places to visit and then back in 7-10 days.
There is lots to visit but my dream is to see the Northern lights.
Thank you so much for replying and for the information.
It’s going to be wonderful. Just remember thermals and a VERY good wind jacket. The wind, no matter the season, can cut through you like a surgical knife. Good luck with the Northern Lights! xx
Coffee fuels my photography! 
Awesome photos.

They must have a way of cooking to remove the gamey taste and smell.

There was incentive… the town where we did our “big” shop also had the only cappuccino machine within miles (there wasn’t one in our village)!
