\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Pylsur<\/strong> is the Icelandic hot dog, made famous by a place called B\u00e6jarins Beztu<\/a>, in downtown Reykjavik. These hot dogs are made with lamb meat! Order with homemade crispy onions and sweet mustard, or raw onion, ketchup, and remoulade. The ketchup is made with apples so it\u2019s a little bit sweeter. You\u2019ll see people lining up at the hot dog stand for this local delicacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Skyr <\/strong>is an Icelandic cultured dairy product with the consistency of strained yogurt, but a milder flavor. It is consumed like yogurt. You may have heard of Siggi\u2019s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 H\u00e1karl<\/strong>, or fermented shark, is the national dish of Iceland. It\u2019s Greenland shark or other sleeper shark that has been cured with a particular fermentation process and hung to dry for four to five months. It is an acquired taste and it makes it on our list of the 21 most weird and exotic foods of the world.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Lamb<\/strong> is served often in Iceland, and it\u2019s said to taste a little different because many of the country\u2019s lambs are allowed to roam and nourish themselves on berries and plants in the fields. Have it in a stew or roasted in gravy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 R\u00fagbrau\u00f0<\/strong> or rye bread, is a staple on most menus in Iceland. It\u2019s eaten in many different ways – topped with smoked salmon, chopped\/blended and added to ice cream, served with butter and salt, etc. Locals will tell you the only way to make rye bread correctly is by burying it in a pot 30 centimeters in the ground next to a bubbling geyser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 There are lots of local meats<\/strong> and seafood you can try: horse, whale, shark, goose, reindeer, and even puffin. These are not everyone\u2019s taste, though! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinks To Try In Iceland<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Brennivin <\/strong>is a local schnapps that\u2019s called \u201cblack death.\u201d It\u2019s been in Iceland for a few centuries now since the Danish started importing it in large quantities. The best way to try it is chilled in a small shot glass. Skal!

Want to learn how to say cheers<\/a> in other languages?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Skyr drykku<\/strong>r is the drink form of skyr. Yep, that\u2019s right – drinkable yogurt! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Reyka, <\/strong>a type of vodka, uses water drawn from a lava field to create a pure and unique distillation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 We\u2019re saying it. Travel to Iceland and drink the water<\/strong>! The pure water! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
