1: lamb head;
it's cut length wise and boiled; when done, the skin/fat layer is peeled off and the meat is very fine tasting and a delicacy.
- sheep don't smile or frown, so the head muscles never move much, so they're very delicate and tender and fine tasting.
Overall, i think it tastes much better than chicken.
2: shark meat;
the shark is sawed in pieces and buried in the ground.
it can be eaten after 1 to 3 months after being cut in 1 inch cubes.
when eaten after a 1 month's cure, it's very crunchy and has a little ammonia taste, but there is also a fine "shark" taste to it.
After a 3 months' cure, the meat is very tender, but the ammonia smell is strong enough that one has better pinch his nose before putting it in his mouth; even then there is still a fine shark taste to it.

3: Skyr, an Icelandic dish consisting of curdled milk;
one has to get used to it a little, but it's very good nourishment and tastes quite good.
