This weekend, the music festival Bræðslan takes place in Borgarfjörður eystri, where food and culture will be mixed in a fun way in connection with the project "Food and culture in Borgarfjörður eystri".
The aim of the project was to increase the supply of food at the festival and at the same time strengthen the progress of food from Borgfjörður, and small producers in the area received support for food creation from Matís in connection with the project.
At the festival, guests will have many opportunities to try new and old recipes of Borgfjörður food. Guests at the campsite will be welcomed with home-made lamb on Friday and while Pollapönk plays, kids will be invited to come and grill a variety of "polla bread". The national campaign "Fish Day" (www.fiskidag.is) together with Fiskverkun Kalli Sveins will be in charge of fish tasting at the outdoor market in Fjarðarborg on Saturday. As usual, it will be possible to enjoy all kinds of good dishes at Álfakaffi, Álfheimar and "Já sæll" in Fjarðarborg.
On Saturday, there will also be an open market where locals will present various food crafts and offer for sale.
The project is a collaboration between Matís, Bræðslan, Framfarafélag Borgarfjörður, Fiskverkun Kalli Sveins ehf. and restaurants in Borgarfjörður eystri. Guests of the Smelter are especially encouraged to get acquainted with this innovation and enjoy the food that will be introduced at the festival.
