I understood elg/elk, and I think you can understand that the words are so similar that they have a common root and convey something about the kind of animal they name. Interesting to see that there is an Old World version of the moose, a member of the elk family. Even if you call them elg.

I buy groceries from a local discount/salvage store that purchases items right at the sell-buy date from regular retail stores clearing them out. It's always quite a mix, lots of gourmet items and fancy yogurts, kefirs, cheeses, meats, etc. What can be frozen is and a few other things are repackaged into consumer-size packaging. Sometimes a vendor decides they just can't sell an item and though it is way before the sell-by date they take a loss and move it out. So every so often I find things like pickled herring for 25 cents on the dollar of the original cost. I loaded up on herring in wine sauce a couple of weeks ago. No cooking, no prep, I simply fork a few pieces out of the jar for a snack. These expire in a couple of months, but they'll be gone long before then.
