La mia caffetteria scolastica oggi ha presentato questo “pane islandese”. Sembra familiare?

What the fuck is that?

Brauðréttur? These kind of dishes with pieces of bread in a creamy sauce are quite common in Iceland. Not as school lunches though, they are generally served on festive occasions.

Hmm.. I mean we have “brauðréttur” which means bread dish. It consists usually of ham,  asparagus, veggies and cheese and cream. It’s great!
Usually it’s served in kids birthdays, or conformation or some parties like that.

What was in this and was it good?
It doesn’t look the best, but cafeteria food seldom is.

yes, this is a staple of Icelandic family gatherings. Easy to make in large batches and also delicious. It’s the perfect middle ground between a cake and a proper meal.
