With little street knowledge of what we'd find in Icelandic supermarkets, we imported the maximum per person 3kg of food and 2 bottles of wine et al (more on this later). Not a bad decision. But with the directional help of our guest house owner (and GPS, of course) we made a stop at a local mall - Smaralind (here) - on our way out of town.
Not only were there three very large grocery stores (including a outlet of the perfectly named Bonus chain), they had a tremendous selection of international food stuffs. There were at least two brands of six different prep'd Indian sauces - we chose Tikka Masala - there were enough Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Italian ingredients that we could have opened a serviceable restaurant in any of the cuisines. Fresh pasta, watermelon, peanut butter - this isn't the isolated outpost we'd imagined. $120 of groceries later, we were ready to drive.
There was also a very cool FREE gift wrapping station in the main lobby. Unfortunately, we had nothing to wrap.
Lastly, for entertainment, the mall was hosting a dance recital which included an Icelandic edition of Annie.
