fatnað

Fatnað is a term used in Icelandic to describe a specific type of traditional Icelandic food. It is a dish made from fermented sheep's milk, which is then strained and boiled to create a thick, creamy sauce. This sauce is typically served with potatoes, often boiled or mashed, and sometimes with other accompaniments such as smoked fish or pickled vegetables. Fatnað is a staple in Icelandic cuisine, particularly during the winter months, and is known for its rich, creamy texture and unique flavor. The fermentation process gives the dish a tangy taste, which pairs well with the hearty potatoes. Fatnað is often enjoyed as a comforting meal, reflecting the Icelandic tradition of using local ingredients to create nourishing and satisfying dishes.
