• Laufabrauo - A tradition bread, originally from northern Iceland, but now common throughout the country. It comes in thin round flat cakes which are fried, and is often eaten during the Christmas period.
  
  
• Skyr - A type of strained fresh cheese that is made from skimmed milk. It is unique to Iceland. No flavors are traditionally added to skyr, but instead it is mixed with other foods, such as porridge for breakfast, or with fruit for dessert.
