Þorramatur (; transliterated as thorramatur; ) is a selection of Icelandic foods, comprised mostly of cooked meat and fish products, which are served with a dense rye bread called rúgbrauð, butter and the Icelandic spirit brennivín. Þorramatur is consumed most often between January and March, especially during the mid-winter feast of Þorrablót (Thorrablot).
