Hi, I'm Seojin. I am very interested in Icelandic culture and would be thrilled to make friends who share their traditions and stories with me. To share a part of Korea's unique heritage, I want to gift my friends in Iceland a selection of traditional Korean snacks, such as yakgwa (honey cookies) or gangjeong (crispy rice sweets), to introduce them to the sweet side of Korean food culture.
Questions for Icelandic Friends
Iceland has a rich culinary tradition with unique snacks like kleina or skyr. How do you think traditional snacks like yakgwa or gangjeong might compare to Icelandic treats?
Sharing food is a big part of Korean hospitality. Is there a similar tradition in Icelandic culture, and how do you usually share or present food to guests?
Korean snacks often have cultural significance and are linked to traditional celebrations. Are there any Icelandic snacks that are specially associated with holidays or festivals?
Have you ever tried any Korean food or snacks before? If not, what kind of flavors or textures would you be curious to try?
In Iceland, do people often give food items as gifts? If so, what are some of the most common items, and are there any special customs to keep in mind?
