anything fishy affair: Norwegian Food

After I returned a few days ago from the north back am, of course, it is now time to write a little bit about the experiences of the past week - and I, as my father says, a "small Gobball " bin, I start on this course with the food.

The Norwegian are clearly a fishing nation - and it is worthwhile to try delicacies which are found on almost every map:

• smoked salmon (with most of dill and lemon served, especially delicious on sandwiches )
• cod (dried cod from the Lofoten in northern Norway, sound caustic, but tastes very good)
• mussels (either in the Belgian version with chips or with pasta, in soups, etc.)
• caviar from a tube (yes that there really is. It tastes slightly sweet and fits nicely with crisp bread with butter)
• fish soup (taste different than the French Bouillabaise surprised them in that in it so really everything that swims, what the sea so has to offer)
• crabs and shrimp (they exist in almost all variations - But beware, the Norwegians not take it as accurate with the information on the menu - for example, one can never be sure whether you were a "fumbling" must, if you type " prawns " ordered)

course there are in Norway, many other fish dishes such as trout with asparagus , halibut fillets, etc., but at this point, of course, only important to be mentioned.

That and the like has to offer the fish market in Bergen.

But in the Norwegian diet is further details see:

Similar as well as the Swedes who eat Norwegian very happy meatballs , as reindeer (which I have as a vegetarian but not tried.) But most strange of us like a "continental European" might happen to the cheese, the Norwegians eat you: The " brunost ," the brown cheese gefuttert there in vast quantities will see, not only look like caramel, it tastes so because when he surprised by its taste nutty-sweet flavors. Did they get used to these strange times sweet cheese, it tastes very well with the waffles, the Norwegians eat so much.

behave with alcohol, it is somewhat different in Norway than in Germany:

The beer, called øl , there are over 18 in any supermarket to buy and is available almost everywhere. Wine, however, is only to receive in restaurants, and special wine shops.

are especially strict laws related to "strong" alcohol: This is sold only from persons over 20 and is therefore not in many bars and all the supermarkets. As a result, that in classic cocktail bars usually only comes in when you are old enough, " zuzudröhnen . "

(. What was for me as a bar-hoppers one of the few real disadvantages to Norway)

Finally, I would still recommend some nice restaurants, where we ate in the days very well:

• Café Sorgenfri - Bryggetorget 4, Akerbrygge , 0250 Oslo - in this fine (and unfortunately very expensive) restaurant on the harbor, there are some lovely fish and sun terrace is the ideal opportunity to observed passing people (why is worth it, I'll explain in another place yet)

• Café Tre Bror - Voss - The Cafe in the small, picturesque town Voss makes its original interior and the almost original customers as a meal into a true experience. Especially interesting: the art on the walls of the restaurant.
• Lorry - Parkvn 12, 0350 Oslo - In Lorry might think curio cabinet have landed in one, for there is nothing you will not be in this store There. Culinary is particularly the Drinking Gourd at his expense, as Lorry offers a selection of 129 beers from around the world.
