The latest foodie travel destination, according to Saturday's Travel supplement, is Greenland. Writer Tim Moore makes the food sound good, and the landscape even better:
Ilulissat means 'the icebergs' in Greenlandic, and what a sight they were through the treble-glazing: sometimes a fleet of Tolkienesque dreadnoughts, sometimes a Henry Moore retrospective on the run, lined up on a massive iced horizon thickly buttered with sunset, or picked out by a full moon and the free-form green swooshes of the northern lights.
But I am not even remotely tempted to visit, as he did, during the winter months, when a little superficial frostbite is an only-to-be-expected souvenir of your trip.
