Recently got back from a 10 day trip in Iceland and perhaps a little surprising, the food was quite good! Lots of seafood, organic lamb and other exotic meats on the menus. However, the grocery stores were a mix of US and UK items with a definite Scandanavian flair. The yogurt was fantastic and muesli with yogurt/milk was a breakfast staple. One uniquely Icelandic item that I did find in the supermarkets was the packets of dried fish! These were quite pricey - about US$5 a bag and are known as a good source of protein. Loving the Asian dried cuttlefish, I had to buy a bag to try. There wasn't much flavor - it was not sweet, salty or spicy. It was just dried fish. The texture seemed odd too. It wasn't chewy but just kind of melted in your mouth. Not sure if I would buy again but I ate the whole bag anyway...
