Food and drink

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN TRADITIONAL FAROESE FOOD,   
YOU CAN PROBABLY FORGET ABOUT FRESH GREEN VEGETABLES
AND START GETTING USED TO MEAT AND POTATOES.        
MEAT IS THE BASIS OF EVERY MEAL. SOME OF THE POPULAR
DISHES ARE SKERPIKJOT, WELL AGED, WIND-DRIED MUTTON.
HJALLUR, DRYING SHED, A STANDARD FEATURE IN MANY    
FAROESE HOMES.                                      
OTHER FAVOURITES ARE RAST KJOT OR BOILED MUTTON AND 
RASTAN FISK, BOILED FISH.                           
FRESH FISH ALSO FEATURES STRONGLY IN THE LOCAL DIET,
AS DO SEABIRDS, SUCH AS PUFFINS AND THEIR EGGS.
