I have a friend from Iceland staying with me for a month and I want to make sure he can have good food from home if he gets homesick. What are some of the great Icelandic restaurants in Newark? Anywhere with Hrutspungar would be amazing.

This is a parody of the best Japanese food in Newark one. Made me laugh!

Your thought for the day:

Population of Iceland: 372,520

Population of Newark NJ: 307,220

Population of Essex County NJ: 854,917

For scale purposes!

The fact that Iceland produced a talent as world class as Bjork with that tiny of a population is truly something else!

I know this great little Luxembourgian spot.

If French fries are a major part of Icelandic diets you are in luck!

Probably Sakura Japan.

Bjork's Burger Palace, where all the servers wear swan dresses.

Otherwise, I bet Whole Foods sells skyr.

Can’t tell if this is a joke or not

Ram's testicles, you say?

Rocky Mountain Oysters.

They taste pretty good when battered and fried.

Lmfao!

Easy answer but you’ll have to invite your friend back in about 6 months. Go over to Coney Island and see if you can catch a shark. Bury the shark in Newark. In 6 months dig it up! Icelandic delicacy and the respect of your friend, Magnus Olafsson.

sutisuc t1_j82alrg wrote on February 11, 2023 at 2:27 AM

Woof some shark fermented in toxic heavy metal Newark soil.

CaptainTurdfinger t1_j82pn6e wrote on February 11, 2023 at 4:38 AM

How else are they gonna get superpowers?

Oranginafina t1_j824mq7 wrote on February 11, 2023 at 1:39 AM

Might be hard to track down puffin or fermented shark anywhere in NJ. You can take your friend to Whole Foods and get some skyrr, that’s about the best you can do.

Marcus Samuelsson has a restaurant in Newark, about as close as you’re going to get

He might have to settle for a few bottles of Einstok.

ShopRite surely has plenty of options in their ethnic aisle for you to prepare a delicious home-cooked Icelandic meal for your friend in the heart of Brick City.

closest I can say is Swedish Bakery/lite eats in Hackensack called Bageriet

an Austrian restaurant in neighboring Harrison called Charley's.

good luck, NYC would def cater to your friend much easier.
