Icelandic premium steaks. Guðmundur Andri Thorsson selected.
For centuries, the sták has been the main literary form of Icelanders, so unpretentious and so intertwined with everyday life that they have hardly noticed it themselves. Its method of chiseling its thought into a few lines under a strict form that tests the ingenuity of words and inventiveness developed here in the absurdity so that one can even speak of it as a national sport. It is safe to call the sták a uniquely Icelandic poetic form – just as we speak, for example, of Japanese hæku and limrur from Limerick. The sták is perhaps the main contribution of Icelanders to world literature, and the rest of the world will never hear about it because of how tied the form is to the subject. It is an amusing thought.
