Nice! One of the places on my short list to visit. How did you find the food?
I am wondering the same thing. How was the food as well ?
Iceland at present day is only 300k people. And that's only recently compared to recent Independence in 1940s. Prior to that it was under Danish and Norwegian rule (12th century) as an extension of sparse groups.
I think this is why they really don't have an established cuisine identity. Aside from some pickled fish, veggie soup & goat head, the rest is pretty standard 'European'.
The Rejkjavik (capital) is very cosmopolitan. It's bigger than Boston & Cambridge combined. It has tons of diverse food and is hardly different than Newbury St. or NYC's 5th avenue (Asian, American bars, burgers, French, Italian, you name it).
In the countryside, they also offer standard European fare for dinner. The guest houses serve typical continental breakfast minus the cooked eggs. It's just boiled eggs.
