Sounds strange? You should try it! Siginn fiskur is a kind of halfdried and fermented fish, which is cut in pieces and cooked. Kæst skata is fermented stingray, usually eaten the day before Christmas. Not going to tell you how it smells ;)
Anyway Grani, the local ridingclub, offers once in a while siginn fiskur og kæst skata as especially older people like it a lot, but nobody wants to have the smell in the house for a long time. Younger people are often not used to this stuff. In fact I like siginn fiskur quite a lot, especially with boiled potatoes, turnips, hot sheepfat with greaves and Icelandic ryebread.
This time the former headmaster gave us potatoes he grew last summer and as I was very busy getting him a few different kinds and colours of potatoes, the bunch we got was in a lot of different shades, from violett to red and yellow/white. It was fun watching people denying to eat those in unusual colours, eventhough they taste great! As usual this event was a success and we were able to raise a bit of money for our ridinghall.
In the afternoon we met on the ice at Kaldbak and had fun on good horses on great ice.
