Here in Sweden you can get moose (hunt yourself if you have land, or buy
in speciality butchers), and reindeer (Rudolph is good eating) from
those same butchers. In the woods there are plenty of wild berries
(lingonberries, blueberries, cloudberries, cranberries, as well as some
others whose names in English and/or latin escapes at the moment).
Plenty of wild mushrooms if you know what to pick. 

Currently Norwegian salmon is cheap, and other fishes are also
available.

Oh, Adamantius; why would anyone use reindeer sinew for eating/medicinal
purposes? Good for sewing, gluemaking or bowstrings, of course. Are you
sure you weren't thinking of the oriental fetish for powdered reinder
antler as an aphrodisiaca?
