Icelandic Food

Here are some of the traditional Icelandic meals.  Some which are not pictured here are cream of wild mushroom soup, smoked salmon of course, shark and dried fish.  Didn't try the last two.

Icelandic Meat Soup (with lamb)

Roast horse, roast lamb, roast pork with some sides.

Icelandic lobster, which is actually whole lagoustine.  We were so happy to hear that the Lobster Festival in Hofn was the same weekend we were there.  It's usually the first weekend in July, but this year it was the weekend of June 23-25th.

 

While this is not necessarily traditional Icelandic food, it was packed with seafood so I'd say it counts!  Squid ink linguine with seafood.

And for dessert some skyr (a type of creamy thick yogourt served on cookie crumbs topped with strawberries in this case.  The bottom one is creme Brule.  They have excellent dairy farms in Iceland.

Arctic Char (trout) served with hverbraud (rye bread baked in hot springs).

Lagoustine soup with cream.

Smoked lake trout with hverbraud again with a good Icelandic beer.

Once again skyr but this time prepared as a tiramisu.  They called it skyramisu...cute!

Grilled arctic char in the forefront, mashed fish in the back.

Pickled herring with mash fish served on rye bread with rye bread ice cream in the back...no real it's good because their rye bread is sweetened with molasses.
