We don’t know what to say here. We all feel pretty helpless. The people at UNICEF seem to know how to help the kids in Ukraine, Gaza & Armenia (amongst, sadly, many other countries).

It’s not a real party without fish balls! Crunchy on the outside and creamy in the middle, these simple little fish cakes are incredibly popular in Iceland. Why not whip up a batch for your Eurovision party this year?

The origins of Fiskibollur can be traced back to the early 20th century, when fish was a staple food in Iceland. The dish was created as a way to use up leftover fish and potatoes, which were combined with spices and formed into balls.

Most recipes are similar with few variations, but some balls are fried and some are baked. Take a gander below:
