Yes, it is true. In the rather sleepy and idyllic village of Flúðir in the South of Iceland, which is notable for being the mushroom-growing capital of Iceland, you can get a real taste of Ethiopia.
Try the delicious small restaurant called Minilik. It is run by an Icelandic guy and his wife from Ethiopia, who is also the chef. Although I managed to make a mess of things by picking it up with bread, it is a rather welcome break from the standard roadside fare of hamburgers and hot dogs.
