📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pylsur are hot dogs sometimes called Iceland's national food: sausages made partly with lamb are topped with raw onion, crispy fried onion, sweet mustard, ketchup, and remoulade (a mayonnaise-based sauce). 'Everything on it' is standard, and a stall near Reykjavík's harbor has a line all year round.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On Reykjavík's windswept harbor, a line forms at a tiny stall as people bite into hot dogs with everything on them.
