Title: Loðmundarfjörður
Post by: Rajan Parrikar on May 23, 2013, 12:09:31 pm: A remote, abandoned fjord in east Iceland. More images in my latest blog post (http://www.parrikar.com/blog/2013/05/23/lodmundarfjordur/).

My wife and I enjoyed your latest Iceland photos immensely. She was especially delighted to see the wild Rhubarb, as we have cultivated Rhubarb in our garden.

Eric - my wife learnt to make rhubarb jam (rabarbarasulta) in Iceland. See this (http://icecook.blogspot.com/2006/01/rabarbarasulta-rhubarb-jam.html).

Both images are very nice but #2 is outstanding. It shows the vast and almost empty expanses of land in Iceland. This is a thing that always struck me.

My mother still does make some rhubarb jam, with a very similar recipe, but she's not from Iceland!

My granddad was a farmer in upstate New York, grew a lot of rhubarb and berries. As a kid I ate a lot of rhubarb pie. Sadly I haven’t had any like my grandmother made in many decades. No one in the family seems to be able to make it like she could.
