Baaaa

I can now say that I have eaten at all of the best restaurants in Iceland. However, I haven't eaten much at any of them. Just got back from one of the top restaurants and ate 2 carrot sticks, the piece of potato and dessert. The rest? Smoked salmon for appetizer and what else, but lamb for dinner. Seriously? I realize that the organizer of this course likes to eat well and doesn't like "typical" foods but when you are ordering for 50 people for 2 1/2 weeks straight, you order some variety.
If I never see lamb again, I'd be just fine with that. The first few times I ate some of it, but now, not a bite. I get nauseous just looking at it. It's not even as though it's good lamb here. It's fatty, undercooked, gross lamb. I'm pretty sure we'll be baa-ing by morning. We counted 8 times that we have had it on this trip. Salmon 4 times and unless it's in a spicy salmon roll, I hate salmon too. Beef once and it was completely raw. We're all getting a bit cranky over the lack of normal food and waiting 45 minutes in between courses. Dinner every night should not take 2-3 hrs!! We just got back to the hotel and I think we're heading out to grab some pizza or something to hold us over until morning.
We finished up our lab today and we're supposed to work on our lab reports tomorrow but I more or less finished mine today so I can go shopping tomorrow and get a normal meal (lunch every day in Reykjavik has been the same...noodles, lasagna, salad with oil on it (they skip the vinegar part for some reason here), and an unidentifiable fried thing that I think is fish) before we have our course evaluation and then our farewell dinner in the evening.
If we're served lamb, I'm pretty sure there will be mutiny.
