Their frozen Chicken Tikka Masala Lasagne sucks so badly. Steer away.

It's one letter away from being Ireland.

Ţiđ ţekkiđ fold međ blíđri brá,
og bláum tindi fjalla,
og svanahljómi, silungsá,
og sćlu blómi valla,
og bröttum fossi, björtum sjá
og breiđum jökulskalla ---
drjúpi' hana blessun drottins á
um daga heimsins alla.

A try at what I can get:

"My Iceland"

First line, well, I have no clue
and flowers around the mountains (?)
and... swanislets, something
and something flowers... beautifully (vallhall - hall is home or some such, and I guess the vall-part is positive. So...)
and something waterfall something sea (ferocious, dangerous, powerful or something in that direction?)
and broad Jökull skulls (the Jökull is the trolls or whatever that's in opposition to the gods, right?)
... fuck it; "deep hens blows the queen away"?
In the day, everyone comes home


it's always fun to read something that split away from your own language about 800 years ago, but still sounds (at times) fairly similar.

EDIT: It's basically a homage to the Icelandic nature (and culture?), and a description of what the author associates with his/her homeland.
