Before Christmas, there is a lot on the drawing board at Rammagerðinn regarding Christmas products and some will see the light of day and some will not. For Christmas 2022, we hired artist Sísí Ingólfsdóttir to design napkins for us, which on the one hand, in the spirit of Sísí, showed the single apology "Sorry for all this red cabbage" and then we offered an illustrated napkin with Sísí's own red cabbage recipe.

This received a good response and so it was decided to collaborate this Christmas with one of our better restaurants Brut on a red cabbage Sísíar. A more beautiful red cabbage mug is hard to find and the red cabbage could not be anything but good, as it has an unexpected ingredient.
Sísí's Red Cabbage
Leading up to Christmas, many different ideas come across regarding Christmas products in Rammagerdin. Some come to life while others fade away. In 2022 we reached out to visual artist Sísí Ingólfsdóttir and approached her with the idea to design napkins. The idea was to combine Sísí's personal style, but she has been designing napkins that we refer to as "Apology napkins". In Icelandic culture, housewife's used to apologize for anything and everything, even if they had made the finest meal and the perfect decoration.

There is a humor behind the design of her napkins, and she refers to this tendency to apologize for everything on the napkins. So on the red cabbage napkins, Sísí included an apology for all the red cabbage and added her unique recipe. The design's final touch is its graphical design. The result is just beautiful. We hope you like it and even try to make some traditional Icelandic red cabbage.
In 2023 we took the idea a step further and did a collaboration with one of the finest restaurants in Iceland, Brút restaurant. Brút made red cabbage from Sísí's recipe and we sold it here in Rammagerðin in the most elegant jar ever seen.
