THE TASTE OF ICELAND

Iceland tastes like dried cod

That sweetens slowly as you chew.

Whale’s fishy beef taste may seem odd

Until it becomes familiar to you.

Pickled herring and smoked trout

With slices of cheese and deli meats

Boiled eggs, hothouse tomatoes and cukes

Are arrayed on trays as breakfast treats

Flanked by rich brown thermal bread.

Yogurts, skyrs and fluffy mousse,

Golden butter and liverwurst spread

Are served with espresso and apple juice.
