Recommended Posts

hope im in the right spot.

 

In reading fiction from various places around the world I encounter

 

new dishes and try to find out what they are.

 

Im reading an Icelandic book now  , in translation of course and have come across

 

Salt Cod w boiled potatoes and Dripping.

 

SC and BP are easy enough to track down 

 

but not so easy the dripping part

 

the implications in the book is that this dish is uniquely Icelandic

 

any ideas ?

 

google had lots of pictures but very little if anything on the drippings

 

thanks

I think that's as close as we are going to come.

 

like a fish stew and the drippings refer to the liquid part.

 

I was hoping to discover something more dramatic 

 

dripping wise

it must be a translation thing

 

and the cod dish seems to be a national one.

 

Its translated that way in three different Icelandic books.

 

then again , I didn't check to see if the translator was the same
