green greenland
Greenland is a land of milk and honey when it comes to food and drink. You'll be in for a treat,
regardless of whether you visit one of the country's numerous gourmet restaurants or you're sitting in
a tent after a long day spent on a dogsled and are eating a good solid meal that's designed to help
physically active winter tourists keep warm.
Land of milk and honey between the icebergs
Greenland is a land of milk and honey when it comes to food and drink. You'll be in for a treat,
regardless of whether you visit one of the country's numerous gourmet restaurants which combine
Greenlandic ingredients with French, Japanese or Thai cuisine, whether you're staying in a private
home offering Bed & Breakfast, whether you have accommodation with access to your own kitchen,
whether you're invited to a kaffemik (where the quantity and range of cakes will easily exceed what
you can eat), or whether you're sitting in a tent after a long day spent on a dogsled and are eating a
good solid meal that's designed to help physically active winter tourists keep warm.
The daily meat
Meat is a key element of Greenlandic food culture. It has its roots in the old Inuit's traditional strong
sense of community, where the survival of the community depended on what the men brought home
with them from a hunting trip. You'll quickly realise the importance of meat when you visit the
country. It's good and cheap, and many a conversation revolves around earlier or imminent hunting
and fishing trips - regardless of whether it involves commercial or recreational hunters, men, women
or children.
