The only food you MUST TRY in Iceland

​There are plenty of exotic food options when you land in Iceland. You can spend hundreds of dollars feasting on shark, puffins and sheep’s head jelly.
But, in my opinion, there’s only one food that every single visitor in Iceland must try.
The only food you must try is a hot dog with “everything” from Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur -- which translates at “The Town’s Best Hot Dogs.”
“But, Christian, I want to try puffin.”
Leave those beautiful birds alone, dick.

“But, Christian, I want to try shark.”
Let the monsters of the sea swim free!

​I am not, in anyway, a foodie. But I like good food. And a hot dog from Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur is good food. It’s great food. It’s nuanced food.

It is respected by construction workers and food bloggers. It is perfect for a late night snack or an early lunch.
​A Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur hot dog is made from Icelandic lamb with some pork and beef -- the meat trifecta! The hot dogs natural casing gives it the perfect snap you want… and need… and crave.
​
Order it with “everything” and it will come with an assortable of accoutrements. This includes  crispy fried onions, sweet brown mustard called pylsusinnep, and remoulade. The remoulade is a sauce made with mayo, capers, mustard and herbs
The first time I visited Iceland with my wife in 2016, I was told to get my hot dog from the Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur stand in downtown Reykjavik. It was snowing and the line was long. But I was told that I “just had to” try these hot dogs. I did… three of them. Since then, I’ve probably had 25. 
​
On return trips to Iceland, I was pleasantly surprised to see Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur expand their market.

 By the time I visited Iceland on my third trip in 2018, Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur hot dogs were available at gas stations all across the country. That meant I could eat those beautiful hot dogs EVERYWHERE I went.
On my way to Keflavík International Airport, I missed a chance at one last hot dog. “Damn“ I thought.
“The one that got away.”
But, as if God herself was looking down upon me, I saw Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur in the airport food court. 

The dream come true.
