Icelandic Cuisine
''Randabrauð'', the cuisine of Iceland, has a long history. Important parts of Icelandic cuisine are lamb, dairy, and fish, the latter due to the fact that Iceland has traditionally been inhabited only near its coastline. Popular foods in Iceland include skyr, hangikjöt (smoked lamb), kleinur, laufabrauð, and bollur. Þorramatur is a traditional buffet served at midwinter festivals called Þorrablót; it includes a selection of traditionally cured meat and fish products served with ''rúgbrauð'' (dense dark and sweet rye bread) and brennivín (an Icelandic akvavit). The flavors of this traditional country food originate in its preservation methods; pickling in fermented whey or brine, drying, and smoking. Modern Icelandic chefs usually emphasise the quality of available ingredients rather than age-old cooking traditions and methods. Numerous restaurants in Iceland specialise in seafood. At the annual Food and Fun chef's competition (held since 2004), competitors create in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Iceland
Iceland ( is, Ísland; ) is a Nordic island country in the North Atlantic Ocean and in the Arctic Ocean. Iceland is the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Iceland's capital and largest city is Reykjavík, which (along with its surrounding areas) is home to over 65% of the population. Iceland is the biggest part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that rises above sea level, and its central volcanic plateau is erupting almost constantly. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains, and glaciers, and many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate, despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle. Its high latitude and marine influence keep summers chilly, and most of its islands have a polar climate. According to the ancient manuscript , the settlement of Iceland began in 874 AD when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first p ...

Flatkaka
Flatkaka (, lit. "flat cake") or flatbrauð (, lit. "flat bread") is an Cuisine of Iceland, Icelandic unleavened rye bread, rye flatbread. ''Flatkaka'' is soft, round, thin and dark with a characteristic pattern from the pan. Traditionally, ''flatkaka'' was baked on hot stones or straight on the embers of the fire, later on small but heavy cast iron frying pans, and today, when making ''flatkaka'' at home, people sometimes bake them directly on an electric hot plate to get the desired result. There usually is a difference between home-made ''flatkaka'' and the varieties sold in stores, the latter being somewhat thicker and dryer because of added wheat flour. It is assumed that the Icelandic tradition of baking flatbread goes back to the settlement of Iceland in the 9th century. Historically, Iceland moss (''Cetraria islandica'') was sometimes used as a supplement because of a lack of grain on the island. ''Flatkaka'' is usually served cut into halves or quarters, with a topping o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rúgbrauð
''Rúgbrauð'' () is an Icelandic straight rye bread. It is traditionally baked in a pot or steamed in special wooden casks by burying it in the ground near a geyser, in which case it is known as ''hverabrauð'' or "hot-spring-bread". Modern ''rúgbrauð'' is usually made in a square baking pan. The bread is crustless, dark and very dense, usually rather sweet, and keeps for a long time. It is often served with butter, mutton pâté, hangikjöt (smoked lamb), or with pickled herring. Dry ''rúgbrauð'' would be ground and mixed with buttermilk to form a kind of porridge. Stale ''rúgbrauð'' is often soaked, then made into ''brauðsúpa'' (, "bread soup") - that is, simmered with raisins and flavorings (usually lemon) and served hot with whipped cream as a dessert. Excessive consumption of this bread is said to cause flatulence, earning it its nickname ''þrumari'' which roughly translates as "thunderbread" or "thunderer". There are, however, varieties of the traditional rye brea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Macon (food)
Macon is a cured and smoked form of mutton. Macon is prepared in a similar manner to bacon, with the meat being either dry cured with large quantities of salt or wet cured with brine and then smoked. The name macon is a portmanteau word of mutton and bacon. In South Africa the term is also used for other bacon substitutes, including ones made from beef. Generally macon has a light black and yellow color, with the outer edges being a darker pink. Macon looks and feels similar to bacon. It would more commonly be found in a thin sliced form used in sandwiches, or as a smaller cut slice topping on a pizza. It is also used as a bacon substitute for religious groups such as Jews and Muslims, whose faith does not allow the consumption of pork. Use in World War II Local macon production has been practiced for centuries in Scotland. It was mass-produced in the United Kingdom during World War II when rationing was instituted.

Feces
Feces ( or faeces), known colloquially and in slang as poo and poop, are the solid or semi-solid remains of food that was not digested in the small intestine, and has been broken down by bacteria in the large intestine. Feces contain a relatively small amount of metabolic waste products such as bacterially altered bilirubin, and dead epithelial cells from the lining of the gut. Feces are discharged through the anus or cloaca during defecation. Feces can be used as fertilizer or soil conditioner in agriculture. They can also be burned as fuel or dried and used for construction. Some medicinal uses have been found. In the case of human feces, fecal transplants or fecal bacteriotherapy are in use. Urine and feces together are called excreta. Skatole is the principal compound responsible for the unpleasant smell of feces. Characteristics The distinctive odor of feces is due to skatole, and thiols (sulfur-containing compounds), as well as amines and carboxylic acids. Skatole ...
