Many people told me that the food in Iceland was blah and uneventful, if not downright bad.
I beg to differ. I NEVER take pictures of food, but I felt I needed to to show how lovely the food was.

Lamb chops
This was not the only green salad I had, it was just the only one I remembered to photograph. The portion was much larger, I got half way through before I took the picture.
Butter mixed with skyr and topped with powdered kelp. It was so hard to resist.
A side dish of potatoes, a very common thing in Iceland, but beautifully presented with a lovely sauce.
Cod topped with shrimp
Birch leaf soup – absolutely delicious
Lamb tacos
Spicy Shrimp Tacos
Trout tartar
Atlantic Salmon
Lamb chops again, because they are so good
Icelandic Pork
Dessert
I will let you make your own opinion, but even Stanley Tucci raved about the food in Iceland in his book My Life Through Food.
I sat next to an Icelander on my flight to Iceland and she insisted I try the local hotdogs. Now, I am not going to rave about them, but it is a tradition worth doing, and they are probably the cheapest thing you can eat in Iceland.
