Well, I’m obviously a little behind here but … I had to say something about the Opal. If only there were someplace here that carried it, I wouldn’t have to beg friends to mail it across the Atlantic. (And I’d totally take a picture if I saw it outside of Iceland.)

Takk Ólöf mín, sömuleiðis!

Unnur María – yes it’s in our genes, I think.

Hildigunnur – blue Ópal THE BEST.

V. – yes, it’s salty, but not overly. just right.

Joe – indeed! But we were less concerned about that (as you can see).

Is Opal salty licorice too? The only kind I have seen here comes from Holland.

Black Ópal’s horrible, anyway, the red one’s nice but I prefer green Tópas to the purple one any day. Bluuuueeeehhh Ópal, I miss you…

Awsome find! I never fail to get that patrotic feel when I stumble across Icelandic baccalau in Mexican markets.

LDE – ah, the good old days! *sigh*

Gunnar – totally right!!

Meagan – that’s weird. Hm. I don’t know of any particular Opal buzz happening, probably just serendipity.

Is there some sort of Opal thing going on right now? Both of the blogs (yours included) that showed up in the Travel section of my Google Reader today mentioned Opal. And you’re not even IN Iceland right now!

Will add this to my list of things to check out in less than two weeks!
