The Icelandic Thaw
Ruby took a little trip to Iceland last week to blow the legendary cool of those icy Icelanders. Guess what I had to eat while I was there? The culinary variety I mean? Yes, you guessed - curry!
Iceland has only 2 curry restaurants in the ENTIRE country - both of them in Reykjavik. We visited the larger of the two and found the food and the service to be absolutely excellent. But the price! Over £150 for two courses for 2 people! !!!! Plus just a glass or two of lager of course, no Indian meal is complete without a beer or two to help along that essential satisfying belch on completion.
The place was packed with serious money trendies and it had a very "nicely authentic" decor.
Looks like the icy Icelanders are developing a taste for spicy food. Lots of Pataks and other internationally bland jars of gook evident on the supermarket shelves - always a sign of either a developing or dying market.
Still it was an adventure - whale curry is quite a challenge.
