AFAIK, the Icelanders bury some large quantities of herring at the beaches at one
time of the year, then all citizens of the town take their evening walks on the
beaches, and the men stop to PISS!! onto the sand, under which the herring is
buried. The special "flavour" makes it into a higly appreciated delicacy, I cant
understand how.
