thumb|right|235px|Hangikjöt with potatoes in béchamel sauce and green [[peas]] Hangikjöt (; lit. "hung meat") is a traditional festive food in Iceland, served at Christmas.
==Etymology and history== This Icelandic smoked lamb, mutton, or horse meat is usually boiled and served either hot or cold in slices, traditionally with potatoes in béchamel sauce and green peas, or in thin slices on bread such as flatkaka or rúgbrauð or laufabrauð. It takes its name from the old tradition of smoking food in order to preserve it by hanging it from the rafters of a smoking shed.
