Obligatory food post

Ever since the invention of the internet, people have been posting pictures of their Creme d'Lagoustine stew or whatever, in hopes of making others jealous of their cultured and well-traveled lifestyles. However, here at the Eggplant Curse, we know that's not what you, our faithful readers, are interested in! You want to know what the locals eat, how they cook it, when they eat it, and why anyone would ever catch a shark, bury it, let it rot, and then eat it 3 months later.

Well, we really can't help you out with that, either. There are in general two options at Icelandic restaurants: A) Relatively inexpensive burgers and pizzas, and B) Fresh local cuisine such as chicken, lamb, fish, and whale, which all runs from 30 to 50$ a plate. So forget that. Pizza it is. But what are we eating, aside from pasta seasoned with nothing but garlic salt and oregano?

Skyr, which is basically a thicker version of yogurt with extra protein. It took us a week or so to make the switch from regular yogurt as the texture is a bit strange, but now we eat about 4 of them a day each.

Kleinur, Icelandic donuts. Less sugary than ours, but tasty!

Bulk candy! The magical thing about bulk candy here is that it's all the same price. Mix and match to your heat's content!

The aforementioned peanut-butter and choclate-chip cookie sandwich.

And finally, when Adam talks about our "second ice-cap of the day," he's not talking about Tim Horton's! (Sorry Adam, that joke's been in my head since you said that. You reap what you sow.)
Aside from that, we've had plenty of greenhouse-grown tomatoes and cucumbers, weird syrupy bread, and a strange mixture of yogurt and oats that is actually pretty reasonable despite basically being the definition of "gruel." In short, we've been eating well! You may now commence being jealous of how cultured and well-traveled our diets are. Because you just can't get this stuff at home.
