To think Iceland isn't appropriate for a 40th?

[Vajazzle]

DH is 40 this year shares birthday with close friend, so plan to have a joint celebration. This friend usually has good taste and is not hard up. He thinks it's ok for the food to come from Iceland and can't understand my horror.....so AIBU?!

herladyship.....just look upon it as a meeting of cultures....two taste sensations frozen for your convenience

durham, i have googled it. it only blardy well DOES exist!!

i have previously seen chicken tikka sandwiches in the coffee shop at work and was quite repulsed but this, this is a step too far

Having been to Iceland (the country), puffin is very tasty, though better as a main course than a starter.

The fermented shark, on the other hand, tastes like shit smells.

I shall buy one and let you know how delicious (or otherwise) it is!! I'm trying to imagine it....but can't!!

don't do it... you are better than this!

Oh I had the puffin - tasted like liver! I'm with echt on the fermented shark. That's just a joke to get tourists to barf.

Iceland the supermarket, as extolled by no lesser culinary genius than Kerry Katona, is not my first choice for party food. However, if it is going to have to be that way (I presume you aren't going to cater it yourself) make damn sure there is a lot of drink on hand. No one will care. More importantly you won't care.

I went to Iceland for my 40th! It was fanbloodytastic, freezing and frikkin expensive. Good times.
