Mooses [was Re: [Sca-cooks] Regretable foods.... OOP]

[Decker, Terry D.]

The original range extended quite a bit further East than Scandinavia and
Northern Europe into Asia.  Alces alces is the Eurasian species and it was
period game.  Alces americana in the North American moose.

Rather than "deer," the European term is "elk."  In the New World, "elk"
became associated with the wapiti (Cervus canadensis).

Rather "jellied moose nose," think "elk delicacies in aspic."
