Mini Guide to Iceland

Food and Drinks
Iceland’s national dish is the hakarl, which is basically fermented shark smelling of ammonia and it’s as bad as it sounds — it’s not widely eaten by locals, but it’s an experience in itself. What you’ll find everywhere is skyr, the yogurt-like dairy product, which has been consumed for thousands of years. The alcoholic beverage most locals drink is beer and brennivin, a spirit made from unsweetened schnapps meaning “Black Death.” And don’t worry about coffee, Icelanders are the world’s fourth-largest consumers.
