Their menu is online and wow does it look wild! Should I get the smoked puffin breast or raw whale meat, sashimi-style? Then again the fried fish chins sound fascinating, but so does the grilled horse fillet. I'm not making this stuff up! For dessert they have something called "Skyr Brulée" which is supposedly strange and delicious and worth a visit all on its own. It's made from "skyr", which is something like a cross between strained yogurt and soft cheese. Those who know of the importance of yogurt in my life (it has taken me months of searching to find The One) will not be surprised to know I must try this dish.

Icelandic food...what?
Here's an interesting article from the New York Times on selling Icelandic food to Americans (hint: it involves Whole Foods). Thanks to Wikitravel I found out about a very interesting restaurant in Reykjavik I hope to try. It's called Þrír frakkar hjá Úlfari, which apparently translates as either Three Brothers, Three Frenchmen or Three Overcoats. Now there's an efficient language.

A word on yogurt: when you get to London (if you don't settle down in Iceland) do yourself a HUGE favor and eat as much Onken brand as you can. I L-O-V-E the mango/passionfruit mix. Oh man, I just about started talking different brands and flavors of yogurt. You should probably start a yogurt blog so I can comment there.
