mmm, Icelandic cuisine (T-H-L). Thanks, Zoloft. Brings back memories.
Consider Hangikjöt (T-H-L) -- smoked lamb. Sounds good, doesn't it? Unless you have no forests and do your smoking over burning sheep dung. I did not care for it.
Or Hákarl (T-H-L), fermented shark: "It has a strong ammonia-rich smell and fishy taste, making hákarl an acquired taste". I wouldn't even try this. I'd rather eat the Svið.
God bless the Icelanders -- the place was a horribly poor country for centuries. "Hvalreki" is the word for "beached whale". It also means "windfall" or "good luck".
Re: Favorite Sentences in Wikipedia
The last time Icelanders heard the words "God bless Iceland", they understood they were in really deep shit and were swimming in a dinghy straight into the hurricane. So this phrase might give Icelanders pretty bad recession vibes.Ron Lybonly wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 1:16 am<snip>

I am convinced there are several American “old country” foods that show up at various holidays mostly to remind of us why we left.
Lutefisk comes quickly to mind.

On a side-note, I'd first heard of lutefisk on The Prairie Home Companion as a kid, but had no idea what the jokes meant until Wikipedia came along.The Sven and Ole jokebook wrote:
The lutefisk got rid of the racoons all right, but now we've got a family of Norwegians living in our basement.
