Mardi Gras



In Icleand, Shrove Tuesday is called Sprengidagur, which means bursting day, as you're required to eat till you burst in preparation for Lent. I started off my gastronomic explosion with wholewheat Icelandic style pancakes, topped with Skyr, bananas, blueberries and rhubarb jam.


Later on I was treated to split pea soup, potatoes and salted lamb by the shopkeeper and his family.



Joined by salted horsemeat



a delicious concoction!




Happy Mardi Gras!!
