MMm. fish.

Creamy awesomeness. that's all you need to know about icelandic cuisine. I ordered Lobster Soup and "Pan Seared, Bacon Wrapped Monkfish"...holy crap. the soup was a cream sauce with huge chunks of lobster hidden under the surface with a blob of butter melting in the middle. I gained a pound looking at it...good thing I lost a pound walking everywhere today in 0 degree Celsius weather.

Regarding the main course, well, fish I hadn't had (somewhat tasty, very firm fish) wrapped in bacon (and that makes everything better)...on top of a bed of half tasty potato wedges (but not deep fried or anything) and half mixed vegetables (traditional red cabbage meets snow pea pods, red pepper and minicorn thingies)....with a side of another delicious cream sauce.

Iceland is expensive, obviously, they've got fish...and lava rocks...I would definitely come back here and only once I've been working for a few years.

Oh, side note on my supershady car rental...I asked if I could drop it off at the airport at 6am, the guy gave me a sad look...and said "just go to short term parking, leave the ticket and key under the floor mat". however, this guy did cost 70% as much as any other car rental. booyah.
