túlftt

Túlftt is a term that originates from Icelandic, where it refers to a traditional Icelandic dish. The name "túlftt" is derived from the Old Norse word "tólft," which means "twelfth." This name reflects the dish's historical significance, as it was traditionally served on the twelfth day of Christmas, known as "Tólftanótt" or "Twelfth Night."

The dish is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, carrots, onions, and sometimes other root vegetables. The meat used in the stew can vary, but it often includes mutton, beef, or pork. The stew is typically slow-cooked, allowing the flavors to meld together and the ingredients to become tender. The dish is often served with a side of boiled eggs and a crusty bread, such as rúgbrauð.

Túlftt is a staple of Icelandic cuisine and is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Its rich, comforting flavors and hearty ingredients make it a popular choice for cold winter evenings. The dish has also gained international recognition, with many restaurants and home cooks around the world recreating this traditional Icelandic favorite.
