I don't think they are served more fancy. These last three dishes are made and served with similar recipes as one would use at home. And I always go to Pingvinen when I visit Bergen. And I always have the Plukkfisk because that's not something I make at home :)

My beautiful hometown Bergen ❤ Unfortunately, he starts at Fisketorget, which is now completely ruined by extreme prices. It is no longer for the ordinary citizen but has become a tourist trap. But they have a very large selection of high quality seafood. "Trekroneren" has existed since 1948 and the name comes from when Dag Hjellestad took over in 1978 and sold the Viennese sausages for three kroner. The selection of sausages is legendary, Europe's largest selection of sausages with 24 different varieties, in addition to Europe's largest sausage at a whopping 250g. A must for anyone who is hungry before going home after a night out on the town. Brunost is exported and sold in the USA, mostly in Minnesota, which has a large proportion of citizens with Norwegian cultural heritage. Pingvinen serves traditional Norwegian home cooking that has been served in Norwegian homes for centuries. And I saw my friend Tim sitting in the background at the bar 🤟He is one of many Black Metal musicians who come from Bergen.

Yes, the fish and macaroni dish is very common. both homemade or storebought Some people would eat dish once a week

16:06 Both dishes are _very_ traditional Norwegian dinners, and as "not-fancy" as you can get 🙂They used to be something you had for dinner at least once every week or so, but Norwegians like to try new foods, so many people would regard these as "boring" dishes 😇 But they are both very good and "hearty", and you should definitely try them

16:20 this is as typical meal you can get. The stew, the meatballs, the fish gratin, all of that was something I grew up on. There’s different variants, and simplified versions of it, but this was very typical food for me growing up. It’s not as typical today, and to a large extent been replaced by pizza, taco, spaghetti dishes and kebabs.

Yes, I tend to agree, but I think it depends on where you’re at in Norway and your families tradition. Living on the east side of Norway close to Oslo with kids, I see a lot of the latter, pizza/spaghetti/taco taking over. Kids hanging out or birthdays, are not with stew and flatbread, that’ll be pizza or sausages.

The fish was probably caught same day or late day before.

When I lived in Seattle my father would go to Ballard, the Scandinavian district, and buy Ski Queen goat cheese, whole anchovies in a tin and tubes of cod caviar.

In Norway you can eat Reindeer, Moose, Whale, Lagopus(Grouse), amongst other; But if there is one delicacy that I would argue is a MUST TRY if you are able to get your hands on it is something called ''Torsketunge/Torsketunger'', it roughly translates to ''Cod's Tongue'', because that is what it is, it's the tongues of the fish Cod that is fried on the grill or deepfried, after being prepared in a mix of flour, salt and pepper. It it served with cooked potatoes, lingonberries, boiled carrots, onions fried in butter and some have pea stew with it too. While ''tongue'' doesn't sound that good, I can tell you it's freaking delicious and a delicacy that is a MUST if you are able to find it.

I didn't even know there were these many videos on YT about my country. Thanks for reacting to them and showing us your journey through learning more about Norway, it really is interesting and quite inspiring actually.

Missing Pinnekjøtt :) Yummy salted/dried (sometimes smoked) lamb rib steamed on birch wood. Make this every year,where I live now near Ottawa, Canada. In Bergen right now. :) .

Come to Norway and eat some seafood, brown cheese, and leverpostei 👍

Speaking of berries, If you ever get a chance to go to Norway (or Scandinavia in general), you should definitely try cloudberries (multebær). They have a very distinctive flavor and you either like it or not, but it is a very traditional and quite exclusive berry which is used for some very classical Norwegian desserts and preserves.

I used to serve brunost to my fellow students at uni in Australia, melting on toast with blueberry jam on top. They all looked shocked beforehand, and they all loved it when tasting it. 😉 You need to stop thinking about cheese as you know it, and embrace the caramel idea. You can also get prim, which is basically spreadable brunost. Very yummy and far better than chocolate spread.

The lapskaus was often used on Norwegian ships. And since Norwegian ships and Norwegian sailors was well known around the big harbors in Europe the lapskaus was known in places like Hamburg in Germany and Liverpool in England. So much so that to this day people from Liverpool are known as "scoucers" in the rest of the country, as this dish became so popular in Liverpool, interesting facts!

So awesome to see you react to another video from my hometown! Kjøttkaker and fiskegrateng (the meals the guys had at the restaurant) are common dishes here in Norway, and although we don't eat it every day, they're still common to find on the dinner table in Norwegian homes. I've actually never tried the sausages at that sausage kiosk although I've always heard that they're the best sausages in town. I'll definitely try them someday. :)

Brown cheese is not THAT sweet. It's really only slightly sweet, it's just sweet for being cheese. The sweetness is very subdued, though, it's just a hint that complements the taste of the cheese itself, which has varying degrees of sharpness. It's definitely not the type of overbearing sweetness you might be imagining from how it keeps being described in these videos. There are plenty of Norwegians who don't eat fish, by the way. You really wouldn't have to force yourself if you don't like fish. It also comes in many different traditional forms which don't really taste fishy at all, so I would say it's still worth it to try those, even if you hate fish.

Fish based dinner at least once a week is fairly common in Norway. Its quite healthy as well.

Around Hennepin in Minnesota you can get brown cheese in stores.

Most Norweegians has a special realationship to "Moms" homemade Kjøttkaker. (Meatcake). The Norweegian Kjøttkake is much bigger than the Sweedish Kjøttbolle (Meatball). They are made the same way, but with the different seasoning. The Norweegain Meatcake is made with salt and pepper as sassoning, but the Sweedish Meatballs can be used alot of different spices as barbeque, basel+++. The Norweegian Kjøttkake is served with potatos with brown sause and also added raw carrot shavings and linging berry sause. The Fiskegrateng (Fishpie) is made out of White sause (Flower,butter and milk) ,maccaroni, cod fish and some carrots with dried bread crums on top and is gratinated in the oven. Served with some meltet butter and some raw carrot shavings.. And the Lapskaus (Pork Stew) is made from smoked or regular Pork meat, potatos, root veggies, carrots and maybe some cabbage. This is mostly served with Flatbrød (Flat bread) but dan also be served with some slices of bread with butter. The traditional Norweegian coucine is put together by differet leftover meats since before the 60`s (When Norway found Oil and became a prosper nation) we were a poor country. The norweegian who lived outside in the country side, hade to make the ends meet by using all of the animal, left overs from fish dinners and so forth. There were no waste..

13:46 that’s flatbread, also very typical/traditional serving to stews and soups. There’s several types/recipes depending on where you’re at in Norway. I remember helping my grandmother making these on large iron skillets (steketakke) as a kid. My dads side of the family not far from Bergen still make this like my grandmother did. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatbrød

Lapskaus comes in two varieties. Light or dark (lys eller mørk in norwegian) The dude in the video had a version of the light one. The dark one is usually heartier and has brown sauce in it. Both are basically a mish mash of some kind of meat and different kinds of veggies mixed with some sauce or Broth and combined into a stew. It’s usually made with leftovers from previous dinners, so as to not waste any food.

I find it amusing that you are so hesitant against the brown cheese since Americans "from what I have understood" love sweet things and you are familiar with orange burger cheese and that's pretty close to brown. ;)

Yes, it is traditional dinner that we see here.

When I was a little kid the fish market was just that, a fish market. The fishermen would come in with the morning catch and have live fish in tanks, which you'd pick what you'd like and they butcher it while you waited. Then as I grew older, it basically turned into a tourist trap. Good to see 3kronen is still alive, used to be a regular stop after a night out, ending the night wit a chilli sausage with extra chillisauce was always a good option. The brown cheese is a bit of an aquired taste, when you get it as a kid, most times you either like it or you're not a fan. Can't really say I'ce met many norwegians who really hate it though. The dinners are all common old dishes which was/is common to make at home. The lapskaus was also often a leftover meal, any type of salted meat slowboiled forever with rootfruits. You probably shouldn't think of the fish dish as a pie, think of it more as a mac 'n cheese dish prepared in the oven. Just replace the fake cheese with ground fish, a lil' bit of real cheexe, milk and eggs, and top it off with more cheese.

Ok. Browncheese comes in many variations. From the mildest to the craziest scale. We also have Oldcheese that mostly no one else than Norwegians can eat. The Meatball version in Norway is a bigger version of the one you get at IKEA etc. We also have some porridge dishes too. One is sour cream porridge and the other is with rice. We eat them with cinnamon, sugar, and butter depending on who likes what. The bread which they tasted in the restaurant is flatbread. It is one of the most traditional breads in Norway that you eat with several dishes. Also, what the sausage part didn't tell you is that we often eat with lompe instead of bread. Lompe is a type of potatoebread that you cover the sausage with. Bread is also used. In the Fredrikstad and Moss area of Norway, they even eat sausage with waffles. Great video!

I’m watching this video while eating breakfast; bread slices with brown cheese. Yesterday I ate exactly that dish with meatballs. I use raindeer meat to make a sami stew called “finnbiff” and I sometimes eat dried raindeer hearts. 😊

According to some Sami I knew finnbiff isn't Sami. Their theory is that the Norwegians bought meat from the Sami and came up with the idea of finnbiff. But who cares? Point is yummy yum 😋

Completely common foods, these. Also, this makes me homesick for my hometown... (Quick tip for your pronounciation; when you see a vowel in a Norwegian word, you pronounce it. So, when you were trying to pronounce "Fiskegrateng", you started out correct, but in your second try, you dropped the first 'e'.)

The reason that brunost is sweet, is that when one makes cheese from milk, the milk is separated. One part becomes regular cheese (similar to gouda, for instance). The byproduct is called whey. Whey contains lactose, which is the milk sugars. (Which is what most people react to if they claim to have a dairy allergy, that is in most cases a lactose intolerance (milder than an allergy, as you get an upset stomach, not a super-serious allergic reaction. There is another (but a lot less common) allergy, that is milk PROTEIN allergy, which is more serious, but that makes you allergic to ALL dariy. Due to how whey (with all the lactose) is separated when hard cheeses are made, hard cheeses are naturally lactose free. (Cream/soft cheeses are a different story). And as you can understand, brown cheese is packed with lactose. (There's something available from the pharmacy called lactase (with an a, not o) which is an enzyme, that splits lactose into 2 different types of sugars, that a lactose intolerant person can have food/drinks with lactose, and avoid the upset stomach).

Someone else might correct me on this, but from my experience, many families with children have a designated day of the week where they eat fish, in order to ensure that the kids get used to consuming the Omega 3 and other nutrients that you get through fish that aren't as prevalent in other types of food. It's typical to serve fish pie on those days, since kids (who sometimes don't like fish or seafood), tend to find it easier to consume. Another common dish that's served on these days for the same purpose is "fish balls". Yeah, it's a silly name, but it is basically just what it sounds like - it's basically fish stock and flour that's been molded into a ball. It's usually served with potatoes and a very mild, white sauce that makes it taste quite mild and indistinctive, as opposed to fish-y. Lapskaus is a pretty common food here. It's basically just a stew with your choice of vegetables and meat in it, so it can be prepared in different ways and with different ingredients. I don't think it's something most people eat regularly, but it's not an uncommon dish to eat here. I'm not sure where the name originates from, it doesn't sound Norwegian. He must've found a stand that specializes in hot dogs, because you won't typically find hot dogs that large around Norway, and I've never actually seen any alternatives to pork and chicken hot dogs, other than the vegan/vegetarian varieties.

Lapskaus, Kjøttkaker and Fiskegrateng (what they ate at the restaurant) is pretty average Norwegian food. It goes under the cathegory of ''Husmannskost'' which is traditional Norwegian (and Scandinavian) in general. Also the fish used in Fiskegrateng is usually Cod (Torsk) or Pollock/Pollack (Sei), but you can also use Salmon or Trout.

Ja, det kalles «Husmannskost» av mange i dag, selv om de færreste av dem spiste noe av de norske rettene vi spiser i dag. Før kalte vi det «Bondekost,» og det var nok nærmere sannheten. Husmennene var heldig om de hadde ett par sild på deling som de kunne koke inn i grøten av vann, tran og byggryn. Vi spiste mer husmannskost da jeg var ung. Feks. spekesild og surmelk med kavring, men det var fortsatt luksuriøst i forhold til de rettene de stammer i fra 🤭 Men i min familie, og sikkert flere, så skilte mann på hva som ble kalt husmannskost og bondekost, og det er kanskje litt ordsnobberi. Men jeg husker godt da mor med glimt i øyet sa «at i dag tenkte jeg vi skulle ha litt god gammel husmannskost.» Da var det neigu ikke kjøttkaker i vente 😂 Vel, dette var mest ment som fun fact. All Norsk tradisjonsmat blir tross alt kalt «husmannskost» i dag.

Yeah, reindeer meat is quite common in Norway, and you can buy it at regular grocery stores, but prices have skyrocketed the last few years. In my household, we often had some kind of reindeer dish earlier, but not anymore, since it has become so expensive. It's very delicious, though :) You do have reindeer in the US (in Alaska), but you usually call them caribou. And no, those dishes at the restaurant are not typical just for the western region, they're common everywhere. And we do cook them at home, often.

If the kids don't seem to like fish, we tupically serve them fiskegrateng. It's like a thick mac & cheese with a little fish in it, and that shields you from the smell of fish which is unappealing to some people. We usually eat it with melted salted butter on top and boiled potatoes. If you can get it home made with fresh cod you are in for a treat.

Saw "Norwegian Brunost-cheese" in a supermarket in Miami when visiting from Norway many years ago. Was a stock Norwegian brand.

Another great video. Lobscouse is available in Liverpool, UK. Liverpool is a famous sea port on the North West of England. Norwegian sailors gave Liverpool their home made stew. So popular in Liverpool that natives from Liverpool are known as Scousers! We have a version here in Wales called Cawl, we are overun with sheep, more sheep than people here so Cawl is usually made with Lamb or Mutton (older sheep.

Love your content. Been watching the Norwegian videos for a while now and im so happy when u make them on my home town Bergen

My favorite dinner in Norway is a dish called kobbekjøtt (seal meat). You allready know about my hometown Tromsø, and Tromsø is the capital of kobbekjøtt. When the sealing boats come in with there catch in May, it's pandemonium to purchase the meat.

I think you would like the Fiskegrateng, it is strangely similar to mac and cheese and doesn't taste much of fish. These dishes are all traditional foods that were normal everyday food before frozen pizza, sushi and tacos became the staple dinners. Sausages i Norway are normally made from finely minced pork and lightly smoked, but there are many great specialty sausages made from other meats, and even decent vegetarian alternatives for those of us that have quit eating meat.

Its normal to eat for dinner especially in the western part of norway. Fiskegrateng you should try, Its magic.

Norwegian food when not salted, dried or pickled is focused very on FRESHNESS. Spices are therefore not a big thing, just some salt and black pepper, because you don't need to mask any smell or taste. Any frozen or fresh fish you buy here, you can just throw some salt on it, throw it in the oven, 20 minutes later, lovely food. Serve with some potatoes, carrots and butter, delicious. Also, sadly he didn't try the bacon-wrapped cheese-filled hotdog, its a staple diet you find in all gas stations in Norway, and every Canadian and American is immediately addicted. And there ARE stores in the US that sell brown cheese, you have probably even had many burgers with brown cheese that just wasn't caramelized enough to be noticeably browned. Because a lot of burger cheeses are specially made to melt quickly.

The foods they where trying at the Penguin is basically "commoners" food, traditionally speaking. Fiskegrateng (the "fish pie") in my region in the north is consumed regularly, often multiple times per week. This is because its fast and easy, as you can buy premade and just heat it for 40 mins in a regular oven. Although they are seldom as good as homemade (but that goes for most food, as we all know). Of course, pizza probably beats it, except with older people.

You can get "brown Cheese" in Minnesota

Brown Cheese (Brunost) isn't sweet like ''candy sweet'', the sweetness of it isn't the emphasis, it's more just a ''hint'' of the sweetness of caramel.

sitting here eating fiskegrateng and then it comes up and Tyler suddently say he has never seen it before and i had the biggest shock xD its actually so good

If you go to Minnesota you'll find alot of brunost. They probably also sell waffles with it.

In Norway raw fish is less common than coocked fish, but we can usually eat both. You also don't have to worry about the fish in Norway as Norway has some of the highest standered of fish in Norway, and in the fishmarket in Bergen all fish is VERY fesh often caught between 2-0 days. Also Raindeer, moose and such is cheap in hot dog form and burger form, but steaks, loins and sausage (not the same as a hot dog) is often pretty expensive, though not much more expensive than loin and steak from cow. The brunsost also is far from candy like, but you really have to try it to fully get it. Also, all foods in this video is pretty common in Norway. You really should visit Norway sometime. If you'd like I bet anyone in the comments here (including me) would be glad to be a guid if you came to Bergen.

Lamb vertical common in Australia, along with beef, pork, chicken, turkey, kangaroo we also have venison/deer not as common but still available.

@Tyler Walker Fish gratin of Fiskegrateng is very normal we have them even frozen in the store, but it is not like a pie , it's more like mac'n cheese but wit out cheese. We do it eate yes, but it's not like everyone goes to a fish market everyday that's more a local thing in Bergen if you want to try it for your self Try this Fiskegrateng ingredients 4 portions: 75 g macaroni 2 tablespoons of butter 3 tablespoons of wheat flour 4 dl milk 0.25 pcs. leek (can be omitted) 1 teaspoon of salt 0.25 tsp ground white pepper about. 400 g cod fillet or other cooked white fish without skin and bones 4 eggs 1 dl grated white cheese (can be omitted) about. 0.5 dl grill flour (or use bread crumbs) THIS IS WHAT YOU DO 1. Cook the macaroni as directed on the package, if you don't have leftover cooked pasta. About. 250 g of cooked pasta equals 75 g of uncooked macaroni. 2. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add wheat flour and stir the mixture evenly. Turn down the heat. Add the milk little by little and stir without lumps between each time. Bring to a boil while stirring well. Let the sauce simmer for approx. 5 minutes. 3. Remove the sauce from the plate and add cooked macaroni, thin leek rings, salt and pepper. Put in pieces of cooked fish. Both fresh, salted and smoked fish can be used. 4. Separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until stiff. First mix the egg yolks into the sauce. Then carefully fold in the egg whites to keep the air in the egg whites. "It is best to use eggs at room temperature. Then there will be more air in the egg whites when you whip them. Make sure that the yolk does not get into the egg white when you separate the eggs. The yolk contains fat and makes it difficult to whip the egg whites." 5. Spread the gratin batter in a well-greased ovenproof dish and sprinkle grated cheese and grill flour on top. Bake in the oven at 356°F for approx. 40 minutes until the gratin has risen and turned golden. "The cooking time will vary depending on the type of mold you use. If you use a flat form, the baking time will be shorter than if you fill a form with higher edges." you might need to convert the measurements but here you go ;-)

10:40 You can get brown chesse/ Geitost in many supermarkets in the US, and it's even easier to find in states like Minnesota, North Dakota, and any state with a larger number of Norwegian expats or descedants 😇Look for Ski Queen or Tine

eat them often, kjøttkaker is so yum, deffently when it's home made 😄

5:49 - reindeer sausage - a first for me (Norwegian)

Lingonberries is popular in sweden as well (it is the swedish word that is used in the english name for it as well, they call it tyttebær in norway). It serves the same role as cranberries, but it taste somewhat different (though both are great). These are traditional household foods served every week around norwegian homes, but perhaps not served as fancy. Fish is huge in scandinavia generally, especially norway. And norwegian salmon is worth going to norway for. There is overlap between sweden and norway in traditional foods because of historical roots and closeness. Oh, and I have gotten served the lamb in cabbage meal you reacted to in another video in northern england. Probably due to the historical closeness between norway and Northern england.

Yep. The "fish pie" (fiskegrateng) is a very common weekday dish all over Norway. I've always hated it though 😄. Usually a boring bland taste. And regarding lamb. If lamb is an option for a dish, you should *always* choose lamb over beef! 😋

Reindeer is very common in Norway, and you can buy reindeer meat at any supermarket. By law, only the indigenous Sámi population are allowed to own reindeer in Norway, so they run the industry. Reindeer husbandry isn't just an industry, it's a culture and a way of life.

in usa you guys have 'caribou', and that is basically a raindeer, but in norway, we dont have the 'caribou', only the original raindeer. And just to clarify one thing, that fish dish that he called 'fishpie', it is NOT a pie, it is a 'Gratin'. In Other words, translated to english, 'Fishgratin'. and those dishes, 'fiskegrateng' and 'kjøttkaker' are traditional norwegian dishes, that we usually eat on sundays and sometimes in the weekdays, it is what you might call in the us, traditional 'Mom and Pop food. :)

Apart from some of the sausage options at 3kroneren, everything you saw here are norwegian staple foods and can be found probably anywhere in Norway in one form or another.

Love the content. I have been living in Bergen for most of my life. So this is something i typically like and often eat at times... apart from the reindeer sausage. That's more of a delicacy. :)

We have fish or sea food pie in the uk it is generally cod or pollock in mash on butter, cheese or parsley sauce it can also include prawns.

I eat food like the ones from that last restaurant basically everyday

i live in norway and eat lapskaus, meatballs and yes fiskegrateng, you should try it it's really good

The brown cheese melts in your mouth.I like it a lot.

heheh, Nah Tyler, Fiskegrateng is a common food. We eat fish in any way possible in Norway, and I would not be surprised if fish-candy kicked off in Norway. Some of our candy is even shaped like fish for some reason. Reindeer meat isn´t as frequent in the south. The reindeer prefer to live in chillier areas so they are more common to eat up north of Norway. The west coast is where most of the fish is caught, so I think they are the ones who eat the most fish out of the country. Though sushi is eaten a lot in Oslo (its due to the accessibility to sushi).

All the 3 dishes from the restaurant we made at home at a almost weekly basis. Those 3 are common in all of norway But yeah, we do have som differences in food cultures depending ok where you are. In the west we typically eat more lamb, East you eat more pork and North you eat more fish

13:21 Yes. West of the mountains you tend to get a lot of fish, likewise in the north. Most of our agricultural land is in the east. The middle and east also has traditionally had better access to trade with Sweden then the north and west. And the Sami areas have their own food. And so one and so forth. And then there's the question of what foreigners have dominated. The south and east has a lot of Danish influence. The center a lot Swedish. The west a lot of German influence due to the city of Bergen being a Hansea trade port. And so one and so forth.

As a Norwegian who doesn't like seafood, I don't think you'd have any issues with the fish pie. It's basically mac and cheese, typically with some very small pieces of fish in it. I do struggle a little bit with eating it since I know there's fish in it, but it doesn't normally have a fish/seafood- like taste, at all. As for surviving in Norway for someone who doesn't like seafood, I don't think it's any different from anywhere else. I've been to restaurants in the UK, Portugal, and a few other countries where I felt there was more of an expectation to like fish, and it was more difficult to find alternatives to it. In Norway, I think it's largely the coastal cities that sell and serve seafood with a different sense of pride about it. In the central and eastern parts of Norway, seafood is typically served just as an alternative for people who like it, whereas in places like Bergen it's hard to avoid the smell of the seafood market, and their restaurant menus often have a lot more seafood dishes on them. I wasn't aware that reindeer hot dogs exist here, and since when did people start adding lingonberry jam to it? 😅

Brown cheese is not technically cheese. Think of it as a rich milky caramel, which you can put on top of a slice of bread with butter, or on a waffle, in both cases with or without jam as well. Many people also add a little brown cheese in traditional brown sauce for dinner, as a flavor enhancer that gives a hint of sweetness that goes well with game or various types of red meat.

You should try the middle-norwegian specialty Sodd (soup) . Its meat broth with meat balls and salted meat as well as potatoes and carrots

Meatballs and fish gratin are an everyday-staple. Had fish gratin yesterday actually. Its really popular with kids too

I live in Bergen, and yeah that is normal Norwegian food/dinner/breakfast true the week. The Fiskegrateng is AWSOME, I have it with bacon bits and fresh grinded carrots and a dash of lemon on it and potato's, I LOVE IT! You know when we are surrounded by fresh produce ALL over it is easy to make awesome food, and we are used to it, I can see it is "exotic" to many others tho. Brown "cheese" you have to not think of it as cheese, it is made from milk yes but it do not have the same taste at all, the only "cheese" about it is its shape and name, it is VERY good of fresh toast with some strawberry jam on top, I had that for breakfast EVERY day growing up ;) Don't be afraid of trying fish, worst thing that can happen is that you don't like some of it, best thing, you could end up loving it all and it is SUPER healthy for you ;) Why do you think we live longer than most over here? It is fresh food and lots of fish ofc =) No super prossecd "goop" as I call many American dishes, unhealthy and not good for you at all lol =)

look into Halden, a hidden gem of Norway. I think you would like it.

What there guys had for dinner is pretty much "everyday food".

Brunost is also common in Sweden -though more and more the higher up you get.. in Sweden it's more common that we have something like it but more of a a creamed cheese-butter called "Fjällbrynt". Raindeer is cheeper in Norway and the north of Sweden due to lower transport cost. Sheep and pork is cheaper in the south of Sweden because of the same reasons I guess. The food in the restaurant were very simular to our food in Sweden -and yes it's just upscaled versions of traditional food you eat at home both in Norway and Sweden.. I trust both people from Finland and Denmark would agree as well... but for Iceland..... I have no clue. :P Lapskaus looks nice but I wouldn't think about it with pork. We call it Lapskojs but that is made with beef.. I however always do it with raindeer or moose/elk and have always thought that it was made in that way so thank you KZread.. I've learnd something today. :)

And…we have fish balls large and small, fish pudding, fish is base, fish any way you can imagine.

Brown cheese is commonly used on weat buns either with sugar, jam or sour cream. also perfect on waffles :)

You are 100% correct that our staple dishes depend on what part of norway you're from, but a lot of these are common everywhere to my knowledge. If you ask a norwegian what they cook for christmas you can absolutely guess where they're from (or where their parents are from)

We had a ton of kjøttkaker and fiskegrateng when I was growing up. It's regular dinner meals

16:18 - well, no, not every night, but most people I know have at least one or several of these dishes weekly

If you want to try Brown cheese, Amazon and properly some stores as well sell «Ski Queen», its Brown Cheese from Norway. Its sold to other countries, and is very popular in Asia. They will grate it onto food, like parmesan cheese.

To answer your question, the fish dishes are very common everyday food.

Well, you do have reindeer in North America, it’s just that you call it caribou. Might not be commonly used for food in the US, but I’m sure the meat is used in northern parts like Canada and Alaska maybe.

Ahahahaahah, every time i go to the city to drink, i end the day by going to 3-kroneren :) aka "The sausage shop", it's been around for almost 80 years now xD Also, most the foods reviewed in this video are very typicall dinner recepies in Norway, with the exception of Sushimi as it is quite expensive, and difficult to make well at home. The gratinated fish bowl and kjøttkaker (meatballs) are very easy to make, so many eat it on a weekly basis. Youth living by themselves usually don't make this kind of foods, and stick to pizza, pasta, tacos and other international foods that are quick to make.

I lived little outside of Bergen city for two months. Very Very beautiful city and fløybanen is a must to do. ❤️

Yes, when they sit at the bar they eat very norwegian traditional dishes 🙂

Not fancy at all, the three dinners at the end there are pretty normal dinners here. You can buy them as ready meals in stores or make them from scratch yourself. When I was growing up there was one from-a-bag version of lapskaus that was sold in stores that I really loved and made a lot. Sadly they stopped producing that one, and I miss it immensely. The fish gratin is the one I have the most out of the three, I get one of the frozen ready meals, it's really good :)

There are reindeer in America too. 😊 Also, I'm not a fish guy, but fiskegrateng I can eat. 😉 That, and fish sticks with potatos and melted butter.

Fiskegrateng and lapskaus is really cheap daily -food for Norwegian familys. My kids love both

If you want to try the Lingon Berry you can find it in the IKEA restaurant with the Swedish meatballs! 😍

The traditional foods we grew up with. The only thing i do not eat regularly as adult is the Fiskegrateng. But than again im not really a fish lover. Even though i am from West Norway 😋🇧🇻

If you go to Minnesota you can get "Brunost". Reindeer meat isn't especially common in Norway except from in the northern parts. The first time I tried it(reindeer) was at a gas station in Tromsø and for me as a person living in the south eastern part of Norway that was pretty damn exotic

Quite a few shops in the UK stock Brunost; it's marketed under the name Ski Queen in the English-speaking world.

@@peterc.1618 From Wikipedia Brunost ("brown cheese") is a common Norwegian name for mysost ("whey cheese"; Danish: myseost; Swedish: mesost; Finnish: mesjuusto; Icelandic: mysuostur), a family of cheese-related foods made with whey, milk, and/or cream. The term is often used to just refer to the Gudbrandsdalsost ("Gudbrandsdal Cheese") type, which is the most popular variety. Brunost is primarily produced in Norway and is popular both there and South Korea.[1] It is regarded as one of the country's most iconic foodstuffs, and is considered an important part of Norwegian gastronomical and cultural identity and heritage.[2] en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunost

@@peterc.1618 There are several types and brands, at christmas also with different taste. Strength wise you have «Ekte geitost» (translated to «Real goat's cheese», which is the strongest tasting, made from goat's whey with added goat's milk and cream. «Gudbrandsdal cheese» (G35, the normal brunost) is made from cow's whey with added milk, cream and some goat's milk, while «Fløtemyseost» (the mildest) cream cheese is made from cow's whey, cow's milk and cream. The amount of milk and cream determines the fat content.

Thank you for this! After watching this I have a reeeaaal hankering and will be going to the store and buying fiskegrateng for dinner. It's amazing with tartar sauce.

Thanks for the tip! I will try that next time we have fish gratin.

It's fresh as you can get that salmon. 6 days in a freezer to remove anything nasty then spread out in slices

I live in bergen and have grown up her:) Hot dog, fiskegrateng, kjøttkaer osv is somethings we eat to everyday dinner

That restaurant food he is eating is actually everyday food in Norway =P The quality is a bit better in the restaurant, but everone make it nearly as good at home =)

The Hot dog is not your normal hot dog in Norway. But it is the best sausage you ever get in Norway. To get better ones you ned to go further south in Europe Germany and Poland or Italy.

Arguably getting the cheese brick then cutting it yourself is better thinner sliced and somewhat softer

Reindeer (Reinsdyr in norwegian or just Ren in swedish) meat is common in Norway and also in the northern part of Sweden where I live. Personally I probably consumed about a medium sized heard over the last 50+ years. Right now I have a heart from ren and some soft horseradish cheese waiting in the fridge. Best meat ever is carvings of dried reindeer roast with coffee or beer, it´s a bit like beef jerky.

Dried reindeer is the best ever, and if you can get dried reindeer heart...I can not even find the words to describe it. It is soooo good. Luckily I have a brother-in-law who comes from a family of reindeer herders. In Norway dried reindeer is very expensive, so when we drive through Sweden I always try to find dried reindeer in the store. I also buy Kavli cheese with reindeer on a tube when I'm in Sweden. We can't get hold of it in Norway. In the northern part of Norway we don't say reinsdyr, but rein, btw.

"Fiskegrateng" is just white sause, macaroni and cod. It's not fancy at all. Reindeer sausages aren't really that common. :)

You do have Brunost in america. It's called Ski Queen, and it's made by the same dairy company as in Norway

The first two are not traditional, but from Norwegian resources. The brown chees, is fairly common. On slices of bread, for breakfast, lunch or last before bedtime. Either prepared at the table, or for a packed lunch The last 3 at the restaurant, are fairly normal for home cooking, the presentation probably vary between different homes, But at home, it's more common to have every different thing in different serving bowls (etc.) in the center, and everyone help themselves to fill their plate.
