Icelandic Cuisine:
Important
parts of Icelandic cuisine are lamb, dairy, and fish,
due to
Iceland's proximity to the ocean. Popular
foods in Iceland include skyr, hangikjöt ,
kleinur, laufabrauð and bollur. Þorramatur
is a traditional buffet served at midwinter festivals
called Þorrablót and containing a selection
of traditionally cured meat and fish products served
with rúgbrauð and brennivín
. Much of the taste of this traditional
country food is determined by the preservation methods
used; pickling in lactic acid or brine, drying and smoking.
Modern Icelandic chefs usually place an emphasis on
the quality of the available ingredients rather than
age-old cooking traditions and methods. Hence, there
is a number of restaurants in Iceland that specialise
in seafood and at the annual Food and Fun chef's competition
(since 2004) competitors create innovative dishes with
fresh ingredients produced in Iceland. Points of pride
are the quality of the lamb meat, seafood and (more recently)
skyr. Other local ingredients that form part of the Icelandic
chef's store include seabirds and waterfowl (including
their eggs), salmon and trout, crowberry, blueberry,
rhubarb, lichens, wild mushrooms, wild thyme, lovage,
angelica and dried seaweed as well as a wide array of
dairy products.
Iceland Climate:
The
climate of Iceland is cold oceanic
near the coast and tundra inland in the highlands. The
island lies in the path of the
North Atlantic Current, which makes the climate of the
island more temperate than would be expected for its
latitude just south of the Arctic Circle. This effect
is aided by the Irminger Current, which also helps to
moderate the island’s temperature. The weather
in Iceland can be notoriously variable. The aurora borealis
is often visible at night time during the winter.
