Iceland Puts The Fat Into Fat Tuesday
Have a craving for salted meat and peas?
It must be Bursting Day (aka Sprengidagur,
or Shrove Tuesday.)
It's called Bursting Day because you're supposed
to eat lots of food until it feels like your stomach
is about to burst. So unlike Michelle Obama's
obesity campaign, this holiday encourages
Icelanders to get really really fat. And that really
puts the fat into Fat Tuesday.
