Monday Ice: Food, Glorious Food!

Well as many of you will have seen in previous posts...I struggled to eat some of the traditional Icelandic food particularly the stinky fish, rotten shark and blood pudding.  A little warning here if you are vegetarian this is probably not the post for you...especially the Gordon Ramsey videos.
There are quite a few videos on Youtube of people trying the fermented shark, I have just picked a couple,  this first video explains the process of preparing the shark and the associated traditional Þorrablót.

This next video is of Ian Wright sampling the fermented shark...his reaction closely imitates mine...I had a lot of trouble swallowing it and keeping it down.


Probably my favourite new food that I tried when in Iceland was Horse/Foal...it was tasty, lean and very tender.  I could not bring myself to try whale for the obvious reasons and I did not have the chance to try Puffin and not sure that I would be able to as they look so cute.
Puffins on the Island Drangey...pic taken by my son Jesse last year in Iceland.
This video part 1 and 2 are of Gordon Ramsey hunting and cooking Puffin in Iceland and of course  as it is Ramsey there is a language warning.


My son Ross last year on Drangey Island choosing not to hunt Puffin but having fun chasing and catching a different type of animal species.

To recover from Ramsey settle down and enjoy the magic of Sigur Rós and Heima part 4.
