Oh I know the sort of thing, they had them here when I was a kid, but I think I prefer them without the choc (altho Icelandic ones might be better, when I was a kid it was prob more like 'choc flavour coating' ๐ฌ)

I love Appelsรญn too, that and Hraun bitar are our road trip staples! I saw you had รristur too, yum! But no Djรบpur?! - that's what I love (when I'm not indulging myself with Omnom!) ๐๐ค I've not tried Bananastangir, I'll have to look out for it next time - what is it?! ๐๐ค

As long as you don't stray into Ford Sierra blue territory we'll be OK ๐ I think that was maybe something like Wedgwood blue? Not so bad on a Wedgwood dish, but on a family saloon, bleugh! ๐

Imagine being such a great colour that you give it your name! My favourite is a blend of those 3, I can never quite pin it down to just one (I suppose teal or peacock would be closest if I was pressed!), so we just smooshed green-blue-purple together to describe it ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ

A very emblematic sculpture in Reykjavik.
I went so many time during that winter trip to capture the sculpture with a clear view of Esja!

Oooh! When I zoomed in on that, those curly spiral ones woke that exact child's feeling of having a real curly straw! When such a thing was a rarity, an unusual treat. Not like now, when I've had a couple in the cutlery drawer for years! It took me by surprise, that I had such a feeling to be woken!

Anything from Bubbi Morthens is brilliant. And if you're peckish & haven't already been, I heartily recommend a stop at Omnom Chocolate for fabulous ice cream creations & delicious bean-to-bar chocolate! Their pitch Black 'n' Burnt Barley bar is a really unique & unusual souvenir (¬ dark choc!)๐ฎ๐ธ๐ซ
