Чем питаться в самой дорогой стране Европы? (Исландия)

[puerrtto]

Тема питания в путешествиях актуальна всегда. В каких-то странах мы опасаемся банально отравиться (помните, как я выживал в Бангладеш питаясь исключительно геркулесовой кашей?), в других еда уже очень невкусная (как в Южной Корее). Применительно к Исландии все бы хорошо, если бы не дороговизна. Долгое время Исландия гордо несла флаг самой дорогой

О, Skyr, надо записать, а то снова забуду.

Там, видать, ни макдональдсов нет (было 3 штуки до кризиса), ни старбакса, ни 7-11. Вместо 7-11 у них 10-11. :)
Вот тут вычитал:
No McDonald’s, 7-11 or even Starbucks - I think that as a frequent traveler I get used to certain staples. In particular I’m used to seeing Starbucks and McDonald’s almost anywhere I go, whether or not I actually patronize them. An interesting fact about Iceland though is that it doesn’t have a single McDonald’s, 7-11 or even a Starbucks. Actually, until just a few years ago Iceland did have McDonald’s; three of them in fact. Following the 2009 financial crisis though, the fast food giant pulled its stores with no plans to return citing the “unique operational complexity” of doing business in an isolated nation with a population of just 300,000. Iceland seems to do just fine without these giants of the consumer world, offering instead its own unique brands. There are plenty of restaurants around Reykjavik that offer quick bites, with hot dogs and hamburgers as particular favorites. Instead of 7-11, the massively popular chain 10-11 dominates the Icelandic scene and there’s definitely no need for Starbucks, coffee shops abound in Iceland, as does a robust coffee culture. So while Iceland may not have some of the signature brands we find all over the world, that’s definitely not a bad thing.

Absolutely agree.
