Sanba Candies Are Delicious

Our tour rounded off in a store called Vinberid on Pingholdt, the main street that leads up toward the Cathedral, where you can stock up on local chili sauces and spreads as well as lovely Icelandic candies. Of course, this being Iceland, there is one that will make you wince, kind of like an ultra-sour candy; but our favorites were Sanba – a lovely chocolate-covered licorice candy.

Overall, this was one of the most fun tours I have ever done in a city, with Pall adding a wonderful personal touch, with anecdotes and stories about every dish that made the whole experience come alive.

We ended up in a bar called Dass, where we ate delicious grilled cod and ratatouille, and had a pint of local beer.
