I wonder if this is actually true? Like I could probably take the time to look this and verify its validity, but I won’t.
Keep scrolling instead. Who cares if things are actually true.?
My favorite fact about Iceland is that it was a dry country, with beer being banned until 1989. Home brew is limited to 2.5%.
Strong alcohol is only really sold at state ran shops called Vinbudin hat often have weird opening hours.
Its also very expensive, majority of the cost being tax.
Probably to stop winter depression turning to alcoholism.
I can see why no one’s favorite fact about Iceland is that their national dish is shark fermented in its own urea and then hung out to dry for months.
I mean I can see it back when they were Vikings, desperate to survive, but come on, Iceland. Move on from eating the dried pee sharks.
How the fuck did you collect the sharks urea? I see how it gets expensive… Lmao
Sharks don’t really pee. It gets stored it in their body tissue instead. Part of the preperation of shark is essentially pressing it for weeks to bring out the ammonia and let it break down into something that won’t kill you. Doesn’t taste good, but won’t kill you.
