It is customary in Iceland to say thank you after having had dinner or lunch: "Takk fyrir mig". The thanks go to the host or hosts of course. We don't say anything like "buon appetit" before the dining starts, unlike the French and the Italians. It is however customary for the host to say "gjörið þið svo vel" (please) when the meal starts.
