Nordic Embassies Give Food in Washington
The Icelandic Embassy along with the embassies of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are celebrating the Nordic Food Day (October 26th) by giving 45 thousand Washington DC school children a healthy Nordic lunch.
The aim is to introduce wholesome Nordic food and Nordic culture to the kids. Common dishes such as Swedish meatballs, Icelandic fish, Icelandic skyr, Swedish knäkkebröd and Danish smörrebröd will be on the menu.
Wish they’d offer some fermented shark as well.
Gaddafi denied forming a union with naked people in Iceland
Since reports are coming in that Gaddafi has been captured, I’ll post the only Gaddafi - Iceland related fact I know.
While discussing the Mediterranean union, in which all the Mediterranean countries except Libya, Gaddafi mentions Iceland and Scandinavia several times. How he manages to mix Iceland, not even an EU country, into this mix is not clear to me.
Anyways, after rearranging the microphones so as not to block anybody’s view of the great leader, he counts reasons why Libya could not form a union with countries such as Iceland.
Here’s his main reason: “Do we share a culture with Europe? Not at all. Our cultures are completely different. In Scandinavia people walk around naked. Can a man walk around naked in Tunisia, Alsir, Egypt or Libya? You’d be stoned and sent to an institution. But in Scandinavia it’s perfectly normal to see people walking around completely naked. That’s their culture.”
I suppose Gaddafi must have had some incident in a Finnish sauna on a state visit.
