It’s almost time for Easter, so let’s talk about lamb! The humble sheep doesn’t get a lot of attention from foreign visitors, who mostly go for the flashier parts of the local fauna. And who could blame them, next to the distinguished falcons, jovial puffins, and cuddly seals, Iceland’s sheep tend to look mundane. Looks can be deceiving and not all heroes wear capes. With its wool, milk, and meat, the sheep has kept the people of Iceland warm and fed through the centuries. If you want a taste of local culture while in Iceland, make sure you try lamb at least once while you’re here. Even if you’re not usually a fan of gamey lamb, you might be surprised by the delicate flavour of Icelandic lamb, a combination of the breed and the farming methods result in a great-tasting meat. If you choose to abstain from meat consumption, consider getting some wool products instead to keep warm while in Iceland. A knitted hat or some mittens are a great way to keep the arctic winds at bay but a traditional Icelandic sweater is sure to attract some extra admiration. There are plenty of other things to enjoy about Easter in addition to lamb. For instance, there’s the chocolate Easter eggs! The supermarket displays these days are a dream for everyone with a sweet tooth. Try bringing the egg along to snack on while you wait for the northern lights to appear, the early part of April is your last chance to see them again for the summer!
