  • In episode 121, we take you from the country of Iceland to the capital city of Reykjavik. Here we try a few different popular food options as well as a delicious blueberry white russian.
    We realize there are the absurd food options like Hákarl (fermented shark) but that's not really our cup of tea if ya know what I mean!

    Fun vid! The “mayo” is actually a creamy type of relish. The sausage itself is predominantly lamb meat. And I will fight anyone who compares the Icelandic hot dog to your run-of-the-mill ballpark dog or disparages it without trying the “works”. 😄

    No "Mather's On The Map" trip would be complete without sampling some local pastries 🍩 and coffee ☕!😂
    Ketchup on a hotdog? 👎 Nope... mustard, relish and onions for me please! 👍😂
    Lobster bisque soup! A definite 👍
    Vanilla milkshake! 👍
    LASTING IMPRESSION:
    The breathtaking waterfalls and landscape.
    LASTING MEMORY:
    Your heads up preview about the cold temperatures in Iceland while we were in Baja enjoying the warm sunshine.
    BEST LINE OF THE TRIP!
    When you said to Taylor: "No worries, whatever we missed this trip... will we see on our next visit"! 😱😂
    Was the trip worth it?

      The hotdogs are amazing. Be sure when they ask you, to order it 'with everything'! The taste is fantastic and I've even ordered the hotdogs here in the U. S. (from Iceland) along with ALL the same Icelandic 'fixings' that they use in the street kiosk. Pretty pricey doing that with the high shipping costs, but each one I eat takes me back right to the street kiosk in Reykjavik. And just so you know, I'm NOT talking about eating them in Iceland recently. That kiosk was there serving the hotdogs the two times I was in Iceland in 1973 and 1974, so it is definitely a longstanding well-known famous institution! Street food at its best!!!
