No were you will find a Goat brain, not then nor now! But back then you would find sheep heads being eating both in Iceland and elsewhere. People ate everything on the animal. This manner of storing food was because there were no refrigerators to keep stored for a longer time. Þorrablót is an Icelandic midwinter festival, named for the month of Þorri of the historical Icelandic calendar (corresponding to mid January to mid February). The Þorrablót is an evening with dinner where participants hold speeches and recite poems, originally to honour the Norse god Thor (Þórr), whose name is taken to be associated with Þorri. Þorramatur has also changed to reflect changing tastes. The traditional method of storing meat by submerging it in fermented whey, which gives the food a characteristic sour taste, is unfamiliar to most generations of Icelanders alive today. ;)
goat brains and minus 30!? What country were you in. it's colder in both Ireland and Sweden during the Winter. The gulfstream keeps Iceland temperature more balanced. It nearly never gets warm during summer, 20+ Celsius being considered hot and during winter like right now the 22 January 2014 it is minus six on the west coast of Sweden and minus 29 in the northern part of Sweden. Reykjavik had +5 yesterday and now late at night its +2 Celsius in Reykjavik. Of course if you were filming up in the glacier the temperature might be much higher. And the food would be delicious meat from lamb that roam wild during summer or fresh fish from one of the cleanest oceans. There is a an old tradition during the month of Thor, called Þorrablót. This is the time people will celebrate by eating old traditional food from the Viking period, you will find similar in Ireland and Scotland, one being "Haggis" .
degoz Thank you for responding. Must had been one extreme winter day/night I do not know about. Feel sorry for the team to work in that environment. Through this link below, you can see the reports going back some 35-40yars. You will have to rewrite it to make it work. - Nimbus(dot)blog(dot)is/blog/nimbus/entry/432426/ Coldest days recordet. It is in icelandic but if you go down the page you will see pics for the years recorded.
I was apparently wrong and I accept that. The temperature in Iceland is often refereed to be much lower than it really is. I am living in another Nordic country where winter is much harsher and in the north it reaches -40 one night this year. It is never that warm in Iceland, but never as cold as people think. Apparently it did get that cold, but still not that often as my relatives living there, informed me. I feel sorry for the crew and team working in those conditions, -brave and strong hearted people ;-) I only remember warm summer-days and allot of gnats and mosquitoes when fishing with my brother and father. Thank you for sharing.
Loveeeee him!!!

Have you considered reading the books? I'm sure they're a more interesting read than the scripts would be.
