Slátur Slátur Slátur (Icelandic: pronounced slau:tər) or "slaughter", is an Icelandic food made from the innards of sheep. There are two types of slátur; blóðmör (Icelandic) or "blood pudding" and lifrarpylsa ("liver sausage"). The first is similar to Irish and British black pudding and the latter similar to Scottish haggis although neither contain the spices used in British and Irish cuisine. They are also much smoother in texture. Ingredients for slátur are sheep's blood, chopped or minced sheep's fat, chopped onions, oatmeal, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, thyme, pepper, salt, whole milk and sausage skins. Both blood pudding and liver pudding are prepared

Barley later on was used as currency. The ancient Sumerian word for barley was "akiti". In ancient Mesopotamia, a stalk of barley was the primary symbol of the goddess Shala. Alongside emmer wheat, barley was a staple cereal of ancient Egypt, where it was used to make bread and beer. The general name for barley is "jt" (hypothetically pronounced "eat"); "šma" (hypothetically pronounced "SHE-ma") refers to Upper Egyptian barley and is a symbol of Upper Egypt.
