Summary: Hulda ate traditional Icelandic food Christmas Eve in Mistur, anglicized The Mist, third thriller in the Hidden Iceland trilogy by author Ragnar Jónasson.
Icelandic Christmas traditions add a lighted candle to each Sunday in the Christmas season, from first Sunday in Advent through Epiphany Day, January 6. They ask for the family to decorate the Christmas tree December 23, enjoy dinner December 24, at 6:00 p.m. with the sounding of local Lutheran church bells, and exchange gifts, of which each attendee accepts a book to appreciate all night long and each child also acquires new clothing: Helgi Halldórsson from Reykjavík, Iceland, CC BY SA 2.0 Generic, via Wikimedia Commons |
Reykjavík Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdóttir appreciates traditional Icelandic drink so she ate traditional Icelandic food Christmas Eve in Mistur, anglicized The Mist, third thriller in the Hidden Iceland trilogy by Ragnar Jónasson.
The third thriller begins in February 1988 in southwestern Iceland, backslides eastwardly and southwestwardly into Christmas 1987 and breezes eastwardly, southwardly, southwestwardly back to February 1988. Icelandic cuisine eastward, southward, southwestward considers coffee as meal and snack drinks and coffee, hot chocolate and malt brew and orange soda as Christmas season drinks. Twenty-year-old Unnur, 40-year-old Hulda and 50-year-old Erla drink coffee, which Erla’s husband Einar and Unnur’s father Haukur respectively down milked and sugared and black, and Coke.
Hulda and Unnur respectively enjoy coffee with hot dogs and coffee with a cold sandwich even as Erla and Unnur entertain coffee or Coke with cake.
Erla likelier furnishes Unnur randalín (“striped”) layer cake, as four-layered, jam-filled white shortbread than as cocoa-browned shortbread four-layered with buttercream filling, than vínarterta (“Vienna”) layer cake.
Vínarterta gets 6- to 8-layered, prune compote-filled, white shortbread and perhaps greeted Hulda among dessert choices at Kjarvalsstadir art gallery café in Dimma, anglicized The Darkness. Hulda’s husband Jón and Haukur’s and Kolbrún’s daughter, Unnur Hauksdóttir, perhaps have sandwiches of flatbraud (“flat unleavened rye bread”), kartöflubraud (“potato bread”) or rúgbraud (“rye bread”). Erla and her 51-year-old husband, Einar Einarsson (III), ingest meal scraps integrated into a meat stew; rye bread, likelier flatbraud than rúgbraud; and sour whey drink.
Hulda joins Jón for red wine and her mother Christmas Eve for hot chocolate and Maltextrakt (“malt”) with Appelsín (“orange soda”) in Mistur, anglicized The Mist.
Traditional Icelandic hospitality to impromptu passersby kindles Einar and Erla keeping 40- to 50-year-old Leó fed and warm with black coffee, meat stew and rye bread.
Mysa (“whey”) looks more like liquid than skyr (“separated”) fresh curdled cheese, which launches it and which Hulda leaves for her and Jón’s 13-year-old daughter, Dimma. Dimma preferentially munches on Cheerios for breakfast, lunch, snacks and supper except when her parents manage family meals of burgers and chips at the hamburger joint. Perhaps memories of those meals nudge Hulda into nourishing herself on burgers and chips at the petrol-station café near the Egilsstadir guesthouse into which she nestles.
December 23, as the day before Christmas Eve, occasions kæst skata (Dipturus batis, “fermented [common] skate”) at the Kópavogur police station in Mistur, anglicized The Mist.
Einar and Erla possess plenteous sheep on the Höfn-area family farm passed from Einar Einarsson I to Einar Einarsson II to the present Einar Einarsson III.
Pigs (svín locally, Sus domestica scientifically), ptarmigan (rjúpa, Lagopus muta islandorum) and sheep (saudfé, Ovis aries) qualify as quintessential meat sources for traditional Christmas Eve dinners. Hangikjöt (“hung meat”) dinner Christmas Eve requires Hulda to respect Icelandic culinary and holiday traditions of a table replete with boiled, roasted, smoked meat and vegetables. Hulda serves caramelized potatoes, gravy and ham with Jólaöl (“Christmas [malt and orange soda] ale”) even as Erla selects boxed chocolates and lamb with malt-and-orange brew.
Hulda and Erla traditionalize Christmas Eve with traditional dinners traditionally at 6 p.m. and traditional gifts of books to thumb through in Mistur, anglicized The Mist.
