GRAPEVINE’S PURCHASES THAT
JUSTIFY EXISTENCE 
Orator, the Law Student
Society at the University of
Iceland offers free legal aid
every Thursday night from
19:30-22:00. Call 551-1012
or visit www.islog.is. Although this is not actually a
purchase per se, it is worth pointing out. Goes to show
that you don’t always need to pay for good stuff (e.g.
the Grapevine).
Who needs protein supplements when you can
buy colostrums? The protein-rich form of milk,
produced by the mammary glands in the first
days after birth, is an original and inventive dinner
suggestion. A tasty and healthy dairy product,
reputed to have great curative powers.

If you want variety in domes-
tic Icelandic beer, you have
two chances, Christmas and
Easter. Christmas beer is
nutty and spicy, Easter beer is light and more re-
freshing; enough to make you want to get out the grill.
Draumalandið – Self-help Book for a Frightened
Nation. Writer Andri Snær Magnason takes a
close and critical look at the discourse behind
the most discussed issue in Iceland’s contem-
porary history: the heavy industrialisation of Iceland. An
important read. Sadly, so far it is only available in Icelandic.
