BROADWAY LIGHTS AND NORTHERN LIGHTS DAY #13 “What is Good for the Horse is Good for the Gander, or Something Like That.”

I left you last night just before dinner and yes we had horse again.  This time it was spectacular, served with a very tasty red wine sauce.  Patrice said, “Enough about the horses!” but I just had to show you.

Okay, enough about last night and enough about horse.  But speaking of food, today we went on a walking food tour.  You know how we love those food tours (Memphis, Boston, Nashville, London).  Prior to arrival the Hilton staff was very helpful in assisting us develop our tour of the city.  One thing they recommended was the Reykjavik Food walk (https://www.thereykjavikfoodwalk.com/).  This was an awful day for a walk, light rain and 32 mph winds.  I had seen film of people walking at extreme angles against stiff winds but had never been one of those unlucky fellows.  Today I joined the club.  In spite of the conditions the tour was a big success.  We met some delightful travelers from Canada, Germany, New Zealand and from various parts of the USA.  Our guide, a native Icelander of course, walked us around town filling us with interesting historical facts (some of which we had heard before) and filled our tummies with wonderful food.

For those who love to see food on my blog look ahead.  For those who do not, please divert your eyes, the following images might be very disturbing.

Next we had a dessert but it wasn’t dessert.  We were told we were about to be served Rye Bread Ice Cream.  It sounded disgusting and the only thing that made me happy was that we were sitting in a warm place.

Next we got to once again experience the Icelandic Hot Dog.  Our tour guide, Anna, said it had 85% lamb, 10% combo of pork and beef and 5% of unknown body parts.  Here is a video of Patrice starting to eat her hot dog.  You can’t hear what I am staying because of the intense wind (also see Patrice’s hood blowing) and you also get a glimpse of our guide.  Here is the link to the 13 second video  https://youtu.be/4xaYcAqoRWU

Finally we got to enjoy dessert.  I was too exhausted at this point to hear what we were eating.  Let me just say sugar and butter were definitely involved.  See below.

The food tour was great and I strongly recommend you sign up if you plan to visit Reykjavik.  Patrice and I rank it second among our food tours.  We still think the BBQ tour in Memphis ranks number one (https://www.tastinroundtown.com/).

Tomorrow we leave for Chicago the so called “Windy City”.  Hah!  Whomever called it that has clearly never been to Reykjavik.
