The Challenges Of Running A Restaurant On A Remote Icelandic Island
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- The Westman Islands are a remote group of islands in the southwest of Iceland. On the only inhabited island - Heimaey - in a former boathouse right next to the harbor, Gísli Matt and his family run a restaurant that serves gourmet Icelandic delicacies. It’s a real challenge, and not just because of the climate - but with an average annual temperature of around 5 degrees Celsius, the weather does play a particularly important role. The ingredients thrive on his doorstep: His father catches the fish (19 different types of fish are served at Slippurinn), and unusual ingredients such as the oyster plant or lupine flourish in the lava soil, offering up plenty of flavorful surprises.

Neat and tasty food
I don't think it's "Heimahei" as it's said in the start of the video, but more like: Heimoey. It's odd how in English the always get Nordic grammar so wrong, when it's such a closely related language. But then again I know it's awful to listen to old Norwegians with no clue how to pronounce English words, how silly it sounds.
Successful chef with money to invest is successful in a high income country with loads of tourists. Wow. Im shocked.
Iceland is a one town country. Everything is centered in Reykjavik.
Running a business outside Reykjavik is an achievement.
Running a restaurant on Vestmannaeyjar is a major achievement.
Honey glazed cod-head? Serving cat food to people covered with a sweet glaze as something special-special? PT Barnum would be proud.
The best cod-meat is on the head. My father used to insist on having the head for himself when I was a kid, and of course we would give it to him. But if it was today, it would turn into a fist fight. ;-)
