Now the same friends who make you listen to Sigur Ros can foist bizarre Icelandic food on you. Whole Foods will be promoting food from people who think it is a great idea to eat shark that has buried underground for months. Or if stanky-ass shark flesh isn't your bag, you could choose to eat some tasty smoked puffin.
In truth the Icelanders will be concentrating on food that people in the US might actually eat. The strangest offering is "trackable cod." The consumer with too much time on his or her hands can find out on which boat a piece of cod was caught. Can you imagine the new avenues of food snobbery this opens? "Oh I see this piece came from the SS Fyrd. I only buy cod from the SS Grafl, it's just so much more fresh."

Smoked puffin, anyone?
