    the sheeps head is called "Svið" and is eaten because there wasn't much food iceland so you had to use what ever you had, so the vikings use all the sheep even the blood (Slátur) and we have carried out this tradicion ever since. i pretty much eat every thing except Svið, not because its disgusting but because of my family made me eat to much of it when i was smaller

    • @TheMimiSard
      @TheMimiSard 7 лет назад +13

      You find when you start going into a lot of cuisine, especially those involving meat, this mindset has been the foundation of a lot of things. Nose-to-tale eating has been a tradition of a lot of places, and things like haggis, faggots (kind-of an English version of haggis, considering both are based on offal), black pudding and blood sausage, and this sheep's head are lingering remnants of that sort of waste-not-want-not tradition.

      I was in Iceland 2 years ago and ate sheeps head in that same place the were in, and it was amazingly good!! I even ate the eye and tongue, which the waiter said was his favorite parts. Was not dissapointed.
      When I come back I'm definitely having it again.

    • @user-yv2cz8oj1k

      I think the Sheep's Head dish sounds pretty awesome. And in Chinese Astrology I'm a Sheep, so I'm a little touchy about this dish, but I think it would be quite tasty, interesting as well! And thank you to fabulous Icelandic writer, Arnaldur Indridason, for getting me interested in Iceland. Ciao!

      It's like when my sister thought she was eating fried chicken from off my plate, and I said to stop eating my squid. She was so disturbed she forced herself to vomit. I don't understand people getting grossed out by food that tastes good. I've figured out that there are 2 kinds of people. There are people who will eat anything that tastes good, and there are people who only eat what is familiar to them. And it's true of every nation.

    The cheek meat and tongue from that lamb head cut into cubes, fried in a pan with some black pepper powder, crushed red pepper, salt would be so yummy.... And more approachable for newbies.

  • @TheMetalfreak360
    @TheMetalfreak360 7 лет назад +13

    I can say that "Sauehaue" or "sheep head" is very common on the west coast of Norway as well. The true challenge is the eye, you don't eat the pupil itself, you remove it and eat everything around it. Most of the meat is in the cheeks, and if it is cooked right it taste delicious, but if you do it wrong, it will taste kinda rotten or raw-ish in some cases (Yeah, not kidding, a place in Norway served it, and they failed misserably, and every customer as far as I know hated it). It is actually a huge family event, every time my dad slaugthers some sheep, we all take the weekend off to eat back home. And really made me not question any food, no matter what it looks like before eating it. And hot tip, the tounge of a sheep is really good, same with deer tounge, you can boil it with the skin on with seasoning, and after a few hours, you can peel the skin and have it on slices of bread. So if you get the chance and are on the west coast, try to see if you can get a hold of it.

  • @tnm1697
    @tnm1697 3 года назад +2

    Heads typically have some of the most tender meat on the animal. Tongue and cheek are revered in Mexican cooking for making the tastiest and most tender tacos and enchiladas

    next time you go to Iceland you need to go to an Icelandic bakery !! they make this amazing thing called snúður which is basically a huuuuuge cinnamon swirl with either pink, chocolate or caramel icing on top !! caramel is by far my favourite :~)
    Iceland also makes amAzing ice cream !! ice cream shops are open until midnight usually and you can get soooo many different toppings / dips ! the ice cream itself is what's so amazing though- you can get this old recipe of ice cream which uses milk instead of cream and it's suuuuuper cold and so smooth and tastes so so good !!! I find it difficult to finish regular soft serve ice cream because it's too creamy, but the milk ice cream is just perfect. please go again to Iceland and try it out !

    • @Theendlessadventure

    Wow, you handled that shark better than i do, and i'm icelandic! eugh, it's so damn bad. Svið(sheeps head) is actually pretty good once you get past the fact that you're eating a head. I like the hot dogs, but rarely eat them, because you know... they're hot dogs. The meat soup is a staple food here, it warms you on cold days and just gets better and better when you keep reheating it days later. We have this yearly thing were the sheep are gathered from the mountains to get sorted into their respective farms and it's a great gathering called "réttir" and after the gathering we like to invite a bunch of people to our house and eat the soup together. There is also this thing called "Þorrablót" where old people mostly, gather and eat all the old traditional foods, like haggis, shark, hard fish and sviðasulta (which is pretty much gelatinous cubes of sheep heads meat."

      @indoorsandout3022 3 года назад

      Cheeks are the most tender meat in any animal that has them. In birds, the most tender part is the lower back. In both cases, I'm excluding offal. But I do like offal. I just figure if head bothers you, there's no way I'm getting you to try organs.

  • @sir_humpy

    Sheep's head is also a dish in Central Asian countries, all ending in -stan. Although I believe they rather boil it and the meat is supposed to come off easily of the bone.

  • @crysisman09
    @crysisman09 7 лет назад +7

    Wish people would know that most traditional food arent bound to only Iceland, but rather Scandinavia!
    We also eat Sheeps head up here on Faroe Islands, and they might also eat that up in Norway (Cant say for fact though)
    We also got the dried fish, together with Butter aswell, although primarily i eat dried fish alone without butter but thats just me
    There are a few things different when coming to food, some they eat when we dont and vice versa!
    For an example, we eat Pilot Whale meat and from my knowledge, on Iceland they dont!
    We eat fermented sheep and fermented fish!
    We also got both the dishes above and cook them, both as normal food thats been in the oven or making a tradition soup out of it!
    Up here cooked fermented sheep is called "Ræstkjøtt" and for fish its "Ræstan fisk"
    Then we got soup of both ræstkjøtt and ræstfisk!
    Also eat puffins and fulmars!
    People from Iceland can probably name traditional food they eat on Iceland aswell!

    We have the sheep’s head this way in some parts of Norway too, where we call it Smalahove.
    Not common in Oslo, but found in some places on the west coast.
    The best part is the meat tissue that sits around the eyes.
    It’s refreshing to see people who show no fear of what’s at the other end of the fork. :)

    I grew up eating hardfiskur and I love it. I'm Canadian of Icelandic descent. I always thought I might be using too much butter but I see you had a good dollop of it with the dried fish. The only difference is I use my butter cold out of the fridge and I hear eating it with Icelandic butter is the best way to eat it.

    Icelandic "pylsur" actually contain three meats: pork, lamb, and beef. In order or amount in them, it is pork, then lamb (shoulder meat mostly), and then beef. Only the lamb is all Iceandic, the other two are Icelandic and/or Danish. The filler is mostly potato meal. (Worked once in the SS factory in Reykjavik making pylsur)

    I kind of giggled when seeing your reactions to the sheep's head. Do you really think that the meat you eat has no head? :D
    In the old days people used all the meat the could get from the animal. Even it's insides. And till this day, we still do.
    Iceland is an island in the middle of the Atlantis sea, it's not like we could have just ordered food from elsewhere, in the old days. We had to count on what we had and when we had it.

    An Icelander here, I really like the hot dogs, soup and dried fish. If anybody is coming to Iceland for a cultural immersion, I'd recommend giving those a shot. Our cocoa soup is pretty cool too (with rusks and whipped cream). The sheep's head and the shark are just plain nasty to me, this is something we ate centuries ago out of poverty, can't we enjoy proper food now?

    I can imagine the thought of eating a face is worse than the actual taste.
    We're in Nicaragua at the moment and we hear that cow's tongue is a popular dish during Christmas. We're considering trying it - hoping they prepare it in a way that it doesn't have the texture of tongue 😬

    Well done guys for tackling the Sheeps head got to sample it on a Icelandic Safari thankfully missed out on the fermented shark as our guide could not purchase any,the dried fish I believe is called Hard Fisk saw them being dried in the open air on racks got to sample some in a snack form as the Icelanders eat them cut up like potato chips in a packet.

  • @leytonjay
    @leytonjay 7 лет назад

    I ate those hotdogs; Icelandic food can be bland which is why it's good to add flavoured salt (fruit, cider etc) and pickled foods - they're kinda traditional condiments from when summer foods had to be preserved for long winters.
    Our hotel was in the background and you opened the video with my favourite shot over Reykjavik. You always shoot the same things I shoot when we've visited the same places, which makes me feel validated, but you've also visited some great places I now want to visit. So thank you twice for these great videos.

    I'm guessing you won't be rushing back to eat more Icelandic food in the near future, I certainly wouldn't.

    When I was young the Italians would eat sheepshead on a certain holiday. after it was done we would use the jaw bone, it was shaped like a gun. Just wanted to share that, good luck and safe journey on your next trip.

    For sure Iceland prices are on the high side but I was lucky my hotel had breakfast included & it had large choice of options. However I did have some of the best Fish & Chips ever at Bjor Gardurinn Beer Garden (Pub)...they used wolf fish . It was about $20.00 USD but I am pretty sure 2 people could share the plate & be full. Also had some amazing local beers.

    Sheep head is a delicacy in Islamic cuisine. It's usually served to guests. It's known by different names in different Islamic countries like sira in India Pakistan, kalle poche in Iran etc. According to the folklore, it has its origin in ancient Yemen.

      ArabMusic23 Islamic cuisine is a distinct cuisine. Sure culture is a human activity but Islam as a religion dictates the culture and makes changes in to it through halal and haram. Islamic cuisine is distinct because it doesn't allow any use of liquor, pork, blood and meat of an animal which is not slaughtered in an Islamic way called the zabeeha. So learn something you ignorant fool before opening your potty mouth. Peace!

    Did you ever address why you stopped eating vegetarian? I remember you ate a vegetarian diet when you first started travelling but then one day you were eating steak...
    I'm really enjoying your vlogs. I came here via /r/Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago and was instantly furious when you mispronounced Edinburgh and called Scotland 'Northern England'...but I stuck around and I'm finding your travels quite addictive :)
    I would love it if you did a post on how you are planning your travels both short and long term - have you got a loose outline for how long you want to stay in Europe or are you just going with the flow? Did you/have you got a route around Europe planned or are you just choosing your next country by price? It seems like you've been dotting about a bit rather than following a route that has any kind of plan, but then cheap airfares make it easy to jump about!

    • @Theendlessadventure
      @Theendlessadventure  8 лет назад +2

      Hey there,
      Thanks for the comment! Yeah we went vegetarian for ~6 months last year but it was just an experiment and now we're back on meat :D
      And yeah, we know we mispronounced Edinburgh (as does 100% of Americans). We tried to get it right for our later vlogs.
      We're actually in Mexico now but heading back to the states soon. Not sure where to after that!
      We actually do chase the cheaper air fare. We usually think up a few cool place, then work on finding the cheapest route to any of them, so cost is always a big factor. Luckily it's pretty cheap to fly around Europe and we often take buses and trains. BTW you can always head to our website to learn a bit more about how we do this: theendlessadventure.co
      Thanks for the questions and for watching! Really glad to hear our traveling is addictive :D

    sorry for using lower case letters, cap key is not working. i love it when you keep it real about if the food taste good! i hate when they pretend to like it and you can see in their face it is awful. so thank you for keeping it honest about how another part if the world food may not be to your liking. i will not eat anything that still has the eyes, and brain matter in it.

    • @Theendlessadventure
      @Theendlessadventure  7 лет назад

      Haha, no worries about the caps! It happens to the best of us 😂

    When you ask locals who really enjoy something, your expectations tend to be too high. The thing is still really good, but just not as good as your expectation let you think.

    I'm Mexican American (I'm accustomed to eating cow head, pig head, and goat), and from the footage, I could go to town on all that food with their local Beer, everything looks tasty, and I've had shark before, wish i could go there to visit all the restaurants.

    I'm a Navajo and this is our best thing to eat .. we literally eat everything .. I'll tell u the Brain is a acquired taste .. but still we love it .. I mean the only time we butcher a sheep is when something is important and even than we use everything .. we don't waste nothing .. it's a blessing of sorts .. but I'm glad u were honest ..

  • @baldviking1970
    @baldviking1970 3 года назад

    My grandparents boiled the heads and cleaned them for meat. But further south west, in Western Norway proper, they serve the heads in half like this. Tastes yummy, I think. But look like something out of a horror movie.
