Icelandic cuisine

Þorramatur, the Icelandic national food.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland#Icelandic_cuisine

"Iceland offers wide varieties of traditional cuisine. Þorramatur (food of the þorri) is the Icelandic national food. Nowadays þorramatur is mostly eaten during the ancient Nordic month of þorri, in January and February, as a tribute to old culture. Þorramatur consists of many different types of food, for example sour ram's testicles, rotten shark, burned sheep heads, sheep's head jam, blood pudding, dried fish (often cod or haddock) with butter."

I'm listening to Prairie Home Companion from Iceland and was thinking of immigrating.
Maybe not.

1. You can have mine. No, it's OK, I'm really not hungry. Had a big

lunch, actually, couldn't fit another bite in. Really, you can have mine. No problem at all.

2. A contradiction in terms

I have an Old Norse Professor who once brought Icelandic dried fish to a weekly meeting in the department. The odor isn't so bad when it's dry, but as he chewed it the odor filled the room, sickening several people. Ever since someone has always remembered to bring him (a less smelly) lunch for the meetings.
