184 GENERAL REMARKS
found of the cod-fith, or the inteftines of the rein-deer with a quan-
tity of butter milk.
The mountain Laplanders likewife make butter of the rein-
deer’s milk ; but as they take in the whole fubftance of the milk,
it is of a white colour, and not fo well tafted or fat as that of the
cream of cow’s milk, ufed for that purpofe by the maritime Lap-
lander, who has few rein-deer, and whofe ftock confifts chiefly of
cows, fheep, and goats. In making their butter the women ufe
their fingers only, ftirring the cream about with them till, as com-
monly exprefled, the butter comes, or till it acquires confiftency.
The mountain Laplander conftantly dines or fups upon venifon
freth killed throughout the winter, and flaughters weekly one or
two rein-deer, according to the number of perfons of which his
family confifts. His venifon is cooked in the following manner.
He cuts fmall pieces, which he puts in his pot, without paying any
regard to cleaning them from blood and dirt: he then places the
pot by the fide of the fire, that the fat may be drawn from the
meat by gentle heat. When the meat is nearly done, he fkims
the fat off and puts it by in a fhell, throwing a little falt into it ;
he next takes out the pieces with a wooden fork, and lays them
on a difh, leaving the remaining liquor or broth in the pot. Sup-
per being now ready, the family feat themfelves round this difh of
meat; and as they eat, each dips the pieces held with the point
of the knife into the fhell which contains the fat that has been
fkimmed off, and now and then fupsa ladle full of the broth re-
maining in the pot, which is taken without any mixture of flour
