Modern Icelandic Food Culture

Modern

The PYLSA — the lamb-beef-pork hot dog with raw and crisp onion, ketchup, sweet mustard and remoulade — which is genuinely the everyday national fast food; kjötsúpa, the lamb and root soup; the bakery and the coffee habit; LICORICE, eaten in quantity and combined with chocolate in a way that is distinctively Icelandic; and since the 2000s a New Nordic restaurant culture and a tourism-driven food economy. ⚠ TOURISM MARKETING IS NOT FOOD HISTORY and the two are kept apart here.
