What Norwegians Eat For Dinner

Random strangers on the streets of Trondheim, Norway, tell us about Norwegian dinner. The subtitles are in their dialect, the equivalent in Bokmål, and then translated to English.

    I’m surprised nobody mentioned "taco friday". Many Norwegians eat tacos and tortilla wraps on fridays, to the point that it has turned into a cultural term: tacofredag.

    ​@@flakey-finn How do you define "healthy"? Is it what makes you live longer? Is it what makes your body stronger? Because both of those contradict each other. Protein and carbs which we need to be stronger are known to increase the speed of aging, and people with low protein diets are known to live way longer and stay "younger" longer. See my point? There isn't anything that is "healthiest". It all depends on your point of view and what you want to get out of food. You want to increase your cognitive functions? Increase your omega 3 and eat more fatty fish. You want to decrease toxins? Stop eating fish more than once or twice a month, or eat fish with less known toxins(usually smaller fish like mackerel, sardines, anchovies, herring). It all depends on how you define "healthiest" and what you want to get out of your food. And certainly if you care about food safety and toxins, fish is not the healthiest food. Not at all.

    I am a Norwegian and this is my usual dinners every week: *Monday* Emmer spaghetti with fermented sauerkraut (usually made out of red cabbage), some vegetables, some chicken, and a glass of kombucha. *Tuesday* Homemade organic tomato soup (with some eggs and vegan meat) and a glass of kombucha. *Wednesday* Grated cauliflower with some black rice, sauerkraut, fried fish (usually Scottish mackerel) and kombucha. *Thursday* Homemade organic vegetable soup (with some meat, either chicken or lamb) and a glass of kombucha. *Friday* Usually taco made out of 10-20% chicken meat and rest beans (like pinto beans) or a bean mix (like black beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, etc) which I make the rest of the taco meat out of. Vegetables and taco shells and taco sauce with lots of spices. All organic and made from GMO-free corn. And a glass of kombucha of course ;) *Saturday* Third soup of the weekday, with soups that vary from week to week... Or if I am lazy, just a pizza ;() *Sunday* Same as Wednesday, grated cauliflower with some black rice, sauerkraut, fried fish (usually Scottish mackerel) and kombucha. As for the sauce, I usually use olive oil (with Demeter quality) with lots of different spices. (All ingredients on this list is made of organic ingredients)

    Of traditional dinner they didn't mention porridge (like rice porridge and sour cream porridge) and sodd (specially for Trøndelag) mentioned. "Potetball" (a mix of potato and flour) was mentioned. Other words for that is "klubb" (northern Trøndelag), "raspeballer" (Bergen/western Norway), "komla" (South West I think) and maybe other words. There are different ways to serve it.

Fishcakes (Haddock mixed with flour and other ingredience and fried).. Fishballs (Haddock mixed flour and other ingredience and boiled)... often served with potatoes and various sauces. Then you got lots of various meat like Meatballs, Får i kål, Ribbe (for me mostly at christmas), pinnekjøtt... there just is so much food to choose from... but ofcourse also some foreign type is normal.

    I think Norwegian food (not talking about international restaurants) is very much like British and Australian food when it comes to using spices or rather the lack thereof. They cook meat, fish and poultry "as is" without marinating it. No spices, no garlic, no chili and if there is anything there might be a tiny bit of salt. In Norway frozen Grandiosa (one of their brands) pizza is a huge thing but not the variations of that you find in Sweden with loads of different toppings...no just the plain with no taste is the popular one. So if you're in Norway and want to your food to taste anything, then go to the international restaurants.

    What is considered traditional foods in Norway rarely coincides with common foods. Common foods are cheap and fast to make - because we Norwegians value everyone's time, and the more time I use on maling food, the less time I'm available for others. Traditional foods are usually just served for festivities such as a family gathering or Christmas.

    Because we eat dinner early almost all of us eat an evening snack 1-3 hours before we go to bed. Which is called "Kvelds" or "Kveldsmat". I'm under the impression other countries have dinner as their last meal and that's why you eat later.

    When my great grandfather was a working man, he ate dinner at home at 12 in the afternoon, then he went back to work, when he got home for the day, he ate supper. In Norway the Norwegian word for "afternoon" can be directly translated to after dinner (after 12.00) because that was dinner time back in the day :) Also remember, we don't have siestas in Norway, so dinner is early, usually followed by organized activity like football, cross country skiing etc, and at night time there's supper.
