Ahh Canada! I wondered if it might be there. Very interesting. Are they hunted or farmed?

Canadians eat real moose, not elk that's called moose. Just need to know somebody that hunts.

I see they are related to deer in the Cervidae family. So do they taste like venison? I had venison once, as kind of a hard sausage, very nice!

Elk and moose taste very different. Elk is a lot more like deer, but moose is it's own thing. Extremely lean, yet very "soft" meat. I usually do my moose as a steak or a roast.
I think they vary in myoglobin content of the muscle. Elk is way darker, almost purple and moose is more pink.

Huh would love to taste some. We don't get either on this continent. Maybe I'll take a Canadian holiday someday!

Elk can be farmed here, so you will see it on sone restaurant menus. Moose is way harder to come by, you need to win a draw for a license to hunt it, or be indigenous. Maybe booking with a hunting guide would be your best bet.
