Iceland is a land of unusual customs and contours, scenic wonders, and fascinating people. Dean Calamaras, one of our more traveled members, will provide a look at the island nation as our speaker at this Thursday’s 6:15 dinner meeting at Quigley’s.

One of Iceland’s iconic dishes is something called hákarl. “Hákarl” is the local word for shark, but as a food item it refers to a putrified, preserved shark meat dish.

Luckily, we are not having Icelandic food on our dinner menu this week. Instead, we are having eggplant Parmesan, antipasto salad, chef’s choice of sides, bread, dessert, and beverages,
