  • The Best of NileGuide
  • Now, obviously if you're in Iceland, you wouldn't figure oranges and avocados to be freely flowing through the markets or culture, and you'd be correct. How do you like your lambs head? Oh, traditional foods in the great far north tend to be quite interesting and a story to try, so why not dig into that ram testicle or the piece of shark that seemingly seems to have been left out in the sun for a couple of days. Consider it like a fine cheese, soaking up the natural yeasts for flavor. Of course, that's not all Reykjavik has, so dig into some of the finest dining around (No, seriously. There isn't another major city for quite awhile in any direction), and explore a city that's completely out of this world.
