Trøllanes

Trøllanes (Danish: Troldenæs) is a village at the northern end of the Faroese island of Kalsoy in the municipality of Klaksvík.

Trøllanes is noted for its meat specialty, Garnatálg, made by kneading sheep fat.

One year on Twelfth Night however, there was an old woman, who wasn't able to make the trip to the next village due to infirmity, and she hid under the table in the living room, when the trolls came.

When the trolls heard the holy name, they stopped partying and cursed the old woman, and left the village, and have never bothered it again.

When the villagers returned they expected to find the old lady dead, but she was alive and able to tell them about the night's events.
