Around 400 people attended a cutlet dinner hosted by the charity Samhjálp in Reykjavík, Iceland. For 20 years, Samhjálp has held the event as a key fundraiser. Members of the Club of Master Chefs volunteered to cook the cutlets, preparing approximately 4,000 portions.
The chefs, some in their 70s and 80s, have been volunteering for years and shared their expertise, using 160 kilograms of cutlets, 25 kilograms of butter, and a large quantity of oil.
They explained a good cutlet should be crispy on the outside and tender inside, seasoned and cooked in butter. Iceland’s President, Halla Tómasdóttir, attended for the first time, having been abroad when her husband attended the previous year. She stated she plans to become a regular attendee, noting that cutlets with raspberry jam are not to be missed. Samhjálp’s director emphasized the warmth and community spirit of the event as its most important aspect.
