So what's the food like in Iceland?

We had a drizzly day today and clocked over 425km. and that included a two hour climb up and down Eldborg, a splatter ring crater. After driving around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, seeing spectacular scenery, we pulled into the Selfoss Hotel. Our room has views of the river and nearby church.

When we booked our car and hotels, we also prepaid for three of our meals.

So this is what we had tonight for about $50 each and if we'd ordered from the menu, it would have been $80 per person. Beer not included.

Lobster bisque with shrimp and a huge lobster chunk. Cream and a touch of chocolate!

Roast lamb on a bed of mild parsnip/white carrot? with a type of scalloped potato, an artichoke purée.

Dessert of Skyr, which is like a cream cheese/yogurt. This was flavored with lemon, some chocolate at the bottom, blueberry sorbet and that crumbly stuff is NOT chocolate, but crumbs of rye bread!

The whole meal was delicious and our table overlooked the river. Food here has great importance and the presentation is always fabulous.....at least so far.
