Discover Faroe Islands: The Country With the Most Disgusting Food Habits? 59 Fascinating Facts
Discover The Faroe Islands: a Paradise with world's most disgusting food habits?
The Faroe Islands is one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world. Its stunning natural beauty, rugged landscapes, and pristine coastline make it a must-see location for any traveler. If you've been fortunate enough to visit this incredible archipelago, then you know firsthand just how awe-inspiring it can be. The islands are home to many stunning waterfalls, including the Múlafossur waterfall on the island of Vágar. This iconic waterfall drops from a height of 60 meters (197 feet) into the ocean below and is a popular tourist attraction on the islands.
The Faroe Islands have a unique charm that captures the hearts of all who visit, and it's no wonder why. However, what truly sets the Faroe Islands apart from other tourist destinations is its cuisine. Have you ever tried fermented fish? How about a dish made from a sheep's head? These are just a couple of the traditional foods you can expect to find on the Faroe Islands. But why do the locals eat such unusual dishes?
In this video, we'll dive into the history of the Faroe Islands and you will learn fascinating things about the island including their language, history, nature, culture, traditions, economy and much more!
The ONLY UK FLIGHT to this Magical Island Nation. Atlantic Airways to The Faroe Islands
Edinburgh Airport is the only UK gateway to the Faroe Islands, with a couple of direct flights per week in the summer months with Atlantic Airways. This small, but fantastic, airline operate a small fleet of aircraft including helicopters which are used domestically between the 18 islands as well as maintaining search and rescue duties. Today's video will show you exactly what it's like to fly to the Faroe Islands, including how to get from the remote Vágar Airport (FAE) to the capital city of Tórshavn. Here's my itinerary for the trip:

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You might not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation.
FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature as often as possible, but I'm afraid she has a proper job so it can take weeks for our schedules to match up.
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links below for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for YouTube Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

Greenland and Faroe Islands Compared
Greenland's natural beauty is limitless, ranging from its massive glaciers and iceberg-filled fjords to its hot springs. The island is rich in human habitation and Inuit cultural artifacts dating back thousands of years. The Faroe Islands, which are close to Greenland are famous for its unspoilt terrain and bird cliffs, and they are made up of 18 major islands and hundreds of islets and skerries. But how do the two countries fare when brought against one another? Let’s find out.
Both are autonomous parts of Denmark
Like Greenland, the Faroe Islands are a Danish-controlled autonomous region.
In particular, the islands constitute an overseas autonomous region of the Danish Kingdom. The Faroe Islands were a part of Norway for centuries until the Treaty of Kiel ceded them to Denmark in 1814. The islands have been autonomous since 1948, and its parliament makes laws in all sectors except defense, police, and foreign affairs. Faroese is the official language, while Danish is also taught in schools. It is more closely related to Icelandic and Old Norse than Danish is. Local banknotes are produced in addition to the Danish krone, which is the legal tender. The Faroe Islands are a part of Denmark but have had their own government since 1948, with the exception of military defense, police, justice, currency, and international affairs. Because they are not included in Denmark's customs area, the Faroe Islands are free to pursue their own trade strategy and sign bilateral trade agreements with other countries. The Faroe Islands and Iceland are party to the comprehensive Hoyvk Deal, a bilateral free trade agreement. They have a representative in the Danish delegation to the Nordic Council. The Faroe Islands have their own national teams in a few different sports. They opted out of the European Economic Community in 1973 so that they could continue to manage their own fishing waters independently.
In spite of being a part of Denmark, Greenland operates independently as a sovereign nation. Greenland has been politically and culturally linked to Europe for the better part of a millennium, despite its North American location. Denmark has had colonies in Greenland since 1721; in 1953, the nation officially became a part of Denmark. After being awarded Home Rule by Denmark in 1979, Greenland was then inaugurated into extended Self Rule in 2009, providing even more authority and responsibility to the Greenlandic government. Greenland will be able to take up additional duties from Denmark in accordance with the new framework as and when it is ready to do so.
Geography
Greenland is around 2,166,086 square kilometers in area, whereas the Faroe Islands only measure about 1,393 square kilometers.
There are a total of 18 islands that make up the Faroe Islands, and they are all rather mountainous and divided by narrow sounds and fjords. Approximately midway between Scotland and Iceland, these volcanic islands may be found in the North Atlantic Ocean. It has a marine economic zone and a total land area of 1,399 square kilometers.
Apart from a long stretch of rugged, rocky, and bleak coastline, Greenland is covered with a flat, sloping icecap. In the unfrozen regions of Greenland, you'll find the treeless, barren tundra that's characterized by strong winds. However, ice can be found even on the tundra. Much of the tundra in Greenland is really built on top of permafrost, or permanently frozen earth. The majority of the shoreline on this island is rocky, and there is a lot of it.
Economies
Due to their economies' reliance on fishing and fish farming, Greenland and the Faroe Islands are at risk.
Bakkafrost, the greatest of the 4 Faroe Islands salmon fishing firms, and the eighth largest in the globe, is among the major private firms in the Faroe Islands. In 2011, almost 5 percent of GDP, or 13 percent of the Faroe Islands' total revenue, came from economic assistance from Denmark. The government has been encouraging innovative IT and commercial initiatives to entice fresh capital since the year 2000. On comparison to other European countries, the unemployment rate in the islands is very low.

JOIN US IN MAINTAINING THE BEAUTIFUL FAROE ISLANDS
Over the weekend of 26-27 April, major tourism sights in the Faroe Islands will be closed for regular tourists but open for everyone who wishes to help maintain them. In return for a helping hand, volunteers will be gifted both accommodation and food over the three-night maintenance period by the Faroese nation.
The Faroe Islands is one of the most unspoiled and unpolluted places on earth and we are keen to ensure that our green islands remain unspoiled. Therefore, we invite you to come and join us in maintaining the Faroe Islands.
There will be a raft of projects led by local people taking place on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 April. Projects will include creating walking paths in well-trodden areas, constructing viewpoints that help preserve nature and birdlife sanctuaries and erecting signs that help with wayfinding.
On the Saturday night, there will be a celebratory meal for all those who have helped. You are also very welcome to extend your trip to the Faroe Islands if you wish to do so. Note that you will be responsible for covering the cost of extending your stay.
All you need to do to participate is to sign up below and buy your plane ticket to the Faroe Islands. We will take care of the rest, including accommodation, food and transport during the maintenance period.
We hope you will come and help us maintain the Faroe Islands in April.

British Soldiers in Tórshavn The Faroe Islands during World War Two plus Photos
Black and White Film of British Soldiers in Tórshavn Faroe Islands during World War Two plus Photos and more Photage.
Clip from the programme Krígsdøtur (Wardaughters) from 1995 from the National Faroese Television, KVF.
The British occupation of the Faroe Islands in World War II, also known as Operation Valentine, was implemented immediately following the German invasion of Denmark and Norway. It was a small component of the roles of Nordic countries in World War II.
In April 1940, the United Kingdom occupied the strategically important Faroe Islands to forestall a German invasion. British troops left shortly after the end of the war.
At the time of the occupation, the Faroe Islands had the status of an amt (county) of Denmark. Following the invasion and occupation of Denmark on 9 April 1940, British forces launched Operation Valentine to occupy the Faroe Islands. On 11 April, Winston Churchill — then First Lord of the Admiralty — announced to the House of Commons that the Faroe Islands would be occupied:
We are also at this moment occupying the Faroe Islands, which belong to Denmark and which are a strategic point of high importance, and whose people showed every disposition to receive us with warm regard. We shall shield the Faroe Islands from all the severities of war and establish ourselves there conveniently by sea and air until the moment comes when they will be handed back to Denmark liberated from the foul thraldom into which they have been plunged by German aggression.
An announcement was broadcast on BBC radio. An aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF) was seen over the Faroese capital Tórshavn on the same day. On 12 April, two destroyers of the Royal Navy arrived in Tórshavn harbour. Following a meeting with Carl Aage Hilbert (the Danish Prefect of the Islands) and Kristian Djurhuus (President of the Løgting, the Faroese Parliament), an emergency meeting of the Løgting was convened the same afternoon. Pro-independence members tried to declare the independence of the Faroe Islands from the Kingdom of Denmark but were outvoted. An official announcement was later made announcing the occupation and ordering a nighttime blackout in Tórshavn and neighbouring Argir, the censorship of post and telegraphy and the prohibition of the use of motor vehicles during the night without a permit.[2]
On 13 April, the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Suffolk arrived at Tórshavn. Colonel T. B. W. Sandall (the British military commander) and Frederick Mason (the new British Consul to the Faroe Islands) then met with the Danish Prefect. The Prefect responded with what Sandall took to be a formal protest, although Hilbert maintained that owing to the occupation of Denmark he was unable formally to represent the Danish government. He duly accepted the British terms on the basis that the UK would not seek to interfere with the internal affairs of the islands. A formal protest was made by the Løgting, albeit expressing the wish for friendly relations. 250 Royal Marines were disembarked, later to be replaced by other British troops. Cordial relations were maintained between the British forces and the Faroese authorities. In May, the Royal Marines were replaced by soldiers of the Lovat Scouts, a Scottish Regiment. In 1942, they were replaced by the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). From 1944, the British garrison was considerably reduced. The author Eric Linklater was part of the British garrison and his 1956 novel The Dark of Summer was set in the Faroe Islands during the war years.
More than 200 Faroese seamen lost their lives at sea during World War II, most due to the war. A monument in their memory stands in Tórshavn's municipal park. Several Faroese vessels were either bombed or sunk by German submarines or by drifting sea mines. Faroese fishing vessels harvested the sea near Iceland and around the Faroe Islands and transported their catch to the UK for sale.
The largest tangible sign of the British presence is the runway of Vágar Airport. Other reminders include the naval guns at the fortress of Skansin in Tórshavn, which served as the British military headquarters. A continuing reminder is the Faroese love of fish and chips and British chocolate such as Dairy Milk (which is readily available in shops throughout the islands but not in Denmark). American and German neuroepidemiologists John F. Kurtzke, Klaus Lauer, R. G. Cooke, Stuart Cook and others, have studied a series of multiple sclerosis epidemics that began in 1943 and are felt to be related to an unknown transmitted infectious agent.
In 1990, the Faroese government organised British Week, a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the friendly occupation. The celebration was attended by HMS Brilliant and a Royal Marines band. Sir Frederick Mason, the former wartime British consul to the Faroes, was also present

Färöarna/Faroes/Føroyar 1961. 5th part. Stóra Dímun, whale hunt, Ólavsøkan in Tórshavn
Fifth part of 1961 Swedish documentary made by Kjell Nordenskiöld about Faroes: Bland fångstmän på Skuö. This part is life on the island of Stóra Dímun, traditional Faroese pitot whale hunt, Ólavsøka National Days in Tórshavn and national chain dance.
Fimmti partur av svenska filminum um Føroyar frá 1961: Bland fångstmän på Skuö, sum snýr seg um lívið í Stóra Dímun, føroyskt grindadráp, Ólavsøkuna í 1961 og føroyskan dans.
Festival of Colorful Costumes: Ólavsøka
Foreign visitors to Tórshavn during the Ólavsøka festival on July 28th to 29th invariably notice the widespread use of traditional Faroese costumes. The increasing popularity of the colorful costume in the last one to two decades or so has made wearing it almost mandatory as it were for a growing proportion of the Faroese — in connection with special occasions, not least the national holiday.
Any keen observer will also notice that the national costumes are not completely uniform but rather give room for a quite an amount of variation. Some of the key pieces of garment can be black, blue, red or green for that matter, whilst, for example, the male shirt, adheres strictly to white as standard color. You could add, much like the shoes, which are invariably black with silver buckle.
And silver, for that matter, features quite prominently on most of the garments, in the form of buttons, for example.
Perhaps, in a way, the striking beauty and variety of the traditional Faroese costume pays homage to the way the Faroese nowadays celebrate Ólavsøka — in high spirits and relaxed, dressed for a very special occasion. And it’s all inclusive, high and low, men and women, young and old, children and grownups.
And this holiday, on many accounts, can be seen as the high point of the year for the Faroese people, with all sorts of events taking place from sports to music to visual arts, to a whole range of gatherings — cultural, religious, political, and what have you.
Ultimately, the weather, as ever in the Faroe Islands, has the joker card. On the 28th it was perfect, yet on 29th heavy rain reduced the number of people venturing outside to take part in the midnight sing-along, usually a major event gathering thousands of people.
Indeed the Faroese celebrate in their own jolly and peaceful way, dancing the night away, or just strolling up and down the streets of central Tórshavn to have a chat with long lost friends, relatives or acquaintances.
These kids, presumably, are getting a bit tired around closing time of this little amusement park, at 10pm. Undeniably, the atmosphere was great.

The Traditional Faroese Food: Pilot Whale
Many Faroese consider the whale meat an important part of their food culture and history.
Whale meat and blubber are Faroese delicacies. Well, in the 20th century, meat and blubber from the pilot whale were used to feed people for long periods of time. Everybody got a share, as is the custom to this day.
When fresh, the meat is boiled or served as steaks. A pilot whale steak is called in Faroese: grindabúffur. Whale meat with blubber and potatoes in their skins are put into a saucepan with salt and then boiled for an hour or so. Slivers of the blubber are also a popular accompaniment to dried fish.
The traditional preservation is by salting or outdoor wind-drying. The wind-drying takes around eight weeks. The salting is usually done by putting the meat, and the blubber in salt, a little bit of water can be added, it should be so salty, that a potato can float in it.
The meat and blubber can be eaten when needed; it can last for a very long time when lying in salt. It can not be eaten directly as it would be too salty, it must be watered out for one to 1½ day, it depends on how salty people like it.
After that the meat must be boiled, the blubber can be boiled or eaten as it is. Today many people also freeze the meat and the blubber, but the traditional way of storage is still practiced, particularly in the villages, and the food lasts longer that way.
The Faroese government did not forbid whaling. On 1 July 2011, the Faroese Food and Veterinary Authority announced their recommendation regarding the safety of eating meat and blubber from the pilot whale, which was not as strict as the one of the chief medical officer.
The new recommendation says only one dinner with whale meat and blubber per month, with a special recommendation for younger women, girls, pregnant women and breastfeeding women
