I don't know, but it isn't very relevant, since the recipe isn't
really Icelandic. Indeed, I am not at all sure that all of the
ingredients would have been available in Iceland.
The recipe is called "Icelandic" because it appears in a recipe
collection in an Icelandic medical Miscellany. But according to
Rudolf Grewe, who researched the subject and published on it, that
collection is one of several suviving daughter manuscripts of a lost
origional which he believes to have been southern European.
My apologies if all of this has been gone over already; I wasn't
following the thread.
