December 28: Þ is for Þorrablót

Þorrablót is a special winter feast which involves some rather curious (perhaps) ingredients.
It is described here in Atlas Obscura

Atlas Obscura is a useful site for those who want to find out more about the obscure places of the world. They have published several books, which sit on my shelves as well.

There are over 118 ideas here.

It is usually served in Midwinter, which is in January.

Customarily, the menu consists of unusual culinary delicacies, known as traditional Icelandic food. These will include rotten shark’s meat (hákarl), boiled sheep’s head, (svið) and congealed sheep’s blood wrapped in a ram’s stomach (blóðmör)! This is traditionally washed down with some Brennivin - also known as Black Death – a potent schnapps made from potato and caraway.

Or you could just have fish and chips instead...
