Modern Greenlandic Food Culture

Modern

A dual food economy that is the central fact of eating in Greenland today: imported food arrives by ship, is expensive, and is subject to sea ice and weather, while hunted and fished food is local, shared, and legally protected — the BRÆTTET, the open-air meat market in Nuuk, Sisimiut and other towns, is where the two meet. Alongside: a modern Greenlandic restaurant movement using local ingredients, the kaffemik, and food-security concerns driven by price, transport and a changing ice season.
