Annotation:

Grjónagrautur is a relatively typical Icelandic food - it is easy to cook, with few ingredients and relatively inexpensive. If you like, you can of course buy your Grjónagrautur ready-made in almost any supermarket in Iceland.

By the way, it is a Christmas tradition in many families to put an almond in the rice pudding for the family dinner on Christmas Eve. Whoever finds the almond gets a small gift.
