A Taste of Christmas

Since I will be back home for the holidays, my thoughtful friend, Sigurveig, decided that I needed another unique experience. So we went to lunch at IKEA where  the traditional Icelandic holiday meal of roasted lamb, potatoes and green peas was served. Almost a double size portion but I enjoyed it. The white sauce was exceptional too - I need that recipe. To be politically correct, this Ikea had both the Swedish holiday meal and the Icelandic holiday meal.

I think that a valuable part of getting to know another country is by experiencing the local foods. Fortunately, food in Iceland is organic because that is the normal way. In Iceland, I drink milk or coffee cream without the concern for food safety/GMO/growth hormones that are problems in US grown/processed foods.

In case you wondered, IKEA in Iceland is equally huge and full of wonders.
