Very similar in Iceland.....the only things that were cheap were fish and 'skyr' - a yoghurt concentrate that looked like a brick. You carve a chunk off and mix it with milk and sugar to taste and its delish - made me wonder if Ski yoghurts were branded off that.
The people in both countries were friendly and readily invited us into their homes. We had some good times with them. We were helping to train their armies in the use of new equipment. That was fun! :o}
