 Have you been to a banana farm or is that a myth?

The banana farm? No. It´s part of the Agricultural college of Hveragerđi, which is a subsidiary of the Farming University of Iceland. The old joke about us being the biggest exporters of Bananas in Europe is part of a larger extended joke about how "per capita" numbers are unreliable and the fact that we are the only European country to grow bananas.

Did visit a lot of strawberry greenhouses when I was working near one of the bigger operations though. Gods, that was the best.

I guess it is sort of a myth. I've always heard that Iceland is Europe's main source of bananas and one of Iceland's biggest exports.
