The Endless Adventure i loved it:) funny te see americans and other non norwegians come to our norway and trye it:) u should tasted smalahode and lutefisk thats to of the oldest original tradtional foods here from the old days!
The Endless Adventure go to peru
Thanks for the trip. The soft jazz was nice. The black coat flattered her hair and looked nice.
tk421missing you're mental
Nah.. So you been to Norway, but did not try any of our real national dishes. How about Lutefisk or Smalahove? Fårikål, national dish? Yeah, right..
In Norway you can get worlds best Cod Fish, no doubt. Huge respect from Denmark to our Norwegian brothers 🇳🇴 🇩🇰
Denmark have so many good dishes. I love you're frikadeller, and red saussages :D Cheers from norway
Aaaaye thanks thats actually a compliment coming from a Dane yinz have some of the best fish dishes i ever had soooooo now I gotta know where you got your fish up here?
What sets you apart from so many vlogs that I have seen, is the fact that you are humble and respectful towards the host country, the people and the food. This is made even more apparent when you are unsure of how to pronounce the food you are eating. In today's geo-political climate, this is very rare and you deserve enormous credit for it. Please never change :)
+Karma wow, thanks so much. So glad to hear that!
Karma I agree. I'm from the North of England (Yorkshire) and their review of our food was respectful and open minded.. another great like I have is, not once during any of their videos on the UK did I hear them mention anything political (such as Brexit)... it just makes the videos a breath of fresh air at a time when politics appears to be rammed down everyone's throats. I'm not a subscriber yet but I'm still thinking about it.. I'm lurking lol
Agreed wholeheartedly. I am also British, raised in South Africa but now live in Shropshire. Greetings from just down the road :)
Karma well I'm from Sheffield (South Yorkshire) but recently moved to Dronfield which is literally just over the border into Derbyshire. Greetings from up the road 😁
+Karma I'm from SA and still in SA and it's time to venture forth
I think those were linginberries, not cranberries. Similar, but smaller. More readily available in Sweden, Norway and Finland.
Yeah, we had actually thought they might be Lingonberries!
Hotrodelectric By the look of it, not lingonberries. Northern Scandinavia have wild craneberries too, and they are much smaller than the cultivated US kind, and are traditionally served with reindeer. But just by the look of them, I would guess redcurrant (often used as a cheaper substitute for lingonberries and craneberries, but can be just as delicious, or even tastier with the some dishes). A better image would help. We have quite a bunch of red berries, both wild as well as cultivated here in Scandinavia (I'm Swedish). Aside from all being red, sour and tart, lingonberries, (wild) craneberries and redcurrant, smell and taste quite differently.
Hvor har du fått rips med reinsdyrkjøtt?!? Redcurrant=rips
Hotrodelectric and Iceland
Det er tyttebær.. vet ikke hva det heter på engelsk..
Excellent choices. You stayed away from the classic "weird Norwegian food" of lutefisk, rakfisk and smalahove while still making some very Norwegian choices of good food that I think most people would like. You sure made me hungry!
Ya, it was hard to decide what dishes to try...but we were deliciously pleased with our choices 😊
lutefisk is the best Norwegian food tho
Hello
@@jubmelahtes nei lutefisk smaker råttent 🤮
Such a respectful vlog with nice positive energy. This is how we all should teach our children to approach new countries and cultures. You really have something good going on here. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
I like the way you explain what everything is and tastes. Thanks.
You missed all the good stuff! You should've tried komla, pinnekjøtt, lapskaus, multekrem (cloudberries) and fenalår! And definitely the Freia milk chocolate. Risengrynsgrøt with rød saus, plukkfisk, lutefisk with all side dishes. Also is you wanna try Norwegian soda pops you should try Solo and Villa!!
in my opinion pinnekjøtt has gotten just the right amount of praise. if you don't know how to pick the right piece and how to make it can taste really mediocre, but with the right amount of skills it tastes like Olympic gold down your throat
haingis agree
Freia milk chockolate has nothing on Nidar Smash chocolate. The US Nato forces that train in Norway usually rob the factory store of it buying 3-4 big boxes with bags in them when they get a chance to visit, and yes I have seen that happen several times. But overall, our milk chocolate is famous though. In my experience a lot of the US chocolates tend to be a bit waxy in texture so it isn't as good to eat. It doesn't melt enough on the tongue. There are a few good ones of course, i didn't try them all but some but there are many with this waxy type chocolate in them. Decent flavor but i miss the feeling of chocolate melting on my tongue to much.
I still prefer a decent christmas rib for dinner. Rolls of the tongue and sends me to foodie heaven for a little while :)
AnnaBilstad And fleske-pannekaker! Very common in Sør-Trøndelag, it's pancakes with bacon and sugar, served with sweet fruit soup😍
Not cauliflower, Rutabaga, its basically a kind of turnip, there is also some parts of potatoes and carrots in the mash...and Whole milk and butter is a must.
Oslo...for sure a hidden gem in Europe, worth visit every time. Greetings from Florida. I will be back in Norway soon.
"Yeah, it's definitely cauliflower." American trying rutabaga for the first time :) Glad you liked it. You were right about the carrot, often carrots are put in rutabaga mash to make it sweeter.
Love rutabaga in homemade vegetable or beef soup. Picks up the flavors of everything else.
ah... the is it cauliflower or is it rutabaga debate? The cauliflower I know is white...
It's definitely Kohlrabi NOT cauliflower
Could it have been turnips with the carrots? The first time I tried a turnip it had a taste somewhere between a cauliflower and a potato.
@@4veritasamdg939 turnips aren't common in Norway
I live in the Pacific Northwest and we love our seafood! I make my own gravlax in the Norwegian style, with lots of dill. Also love herring, sardines, smoked whitefish as well.
I'm pretty sure the 'mash' you had with the flesk og duppe was 'kålrabistappe' which basically translates to cabbageroot mash and is made of rutabaga (the root of the cabbage), carrots, cream and pepper.
Pro tip: Next time you have a brown cheese sandwich, try it with a bit of raspberry jam on top of the cheese. Also, the berries you got with the reindeer cakes, were more likely lingonberries, rather than cranberries. :) Basically, the same type of berries you get with the meatballs in IKEA.
Good choice of food.👍 The fårikål is perhaps the easiest dish to make since you only need water, lambmeat, carrots, potatoes, whole black pepper and cabbage that you put into a pot to boil for close to an hour. In that way the meat looses it's grip from the bone and gets moist and tender. You can drink either water or a good beer with the dish. Happy coocking from Norway.
I really enjoy your vlogs of these European cities. I like how you capture some of the street views of the city as well as the different restaurants and dishes that you try. I also find it interesting when you post video of the places you stay.
So glad you're enjoying them!
Great background music. It really pops the overall feel of your presentation. All of the food looked exceptionally scrumptious.
Next time you wanna try reindeer meat, order "finnbiff". It's a VERY popular dish in Norway. It's reindeer meat cut in small pieces, fried then boiled in a cream sauce, often with mushrooms (there are variations). And usually served with cream potatoes. You'll be amazed :)
Whoa!! That sounds amazing! Thanks for the recommendation :)
yeah, Finnbiff is amazing, the version i tasted had a brown cheese sauce thing
Pretty usual for us to put some slices of brown cheese in the sauce when serving gamey meat like reindeer, also almost anything gamey with a brown sauce goes really well with lingonberry or tyttebær as we call it.
It's better using moose than reindeer though.
Loved this. Awesome video. You both did a fantastic job. I am Norwegian and live in USA, and was happy to watch this and learn about the different Norwegian dishes. I visited in 1996 and enjoyed eating my Tante's cooking. We did not eat out much when we were there, visited with a lot of family. Thank you. Such a beautiful country.
I'm so happy you like traditional Norwegian cuisine! The whole style of food definitely has that unique, special, smoky flavor.
+GlowingEagle heck yeah, it was great. We can't wait to go back!
The cheddar has the sharpness of cheddar almost like a cheese and the caramel has a sweetness to it which is really nice.
I really enjoy your channel. The music, travel, and food. Great
So glad you enjoyed my city! You portrayed it beautifully
So glad to hear that!
I’m from Bergen, Norway
@@SpaceflightSimulator my god!!! U r from paradise.. i stayed in Bergen for 3 months in outskirts fannawaggen.
Ridz Ridz You mean Fanavågen? 😂
@@SpaceflightSimulator rite.. long time.. in 2011 yes Norwegian language was challenging though to understand.. I speak english and understand only English other than my local languages... I stayed just behind the Fana Church.. hey if u from Bergen, I want to discuss some creepy experience i had there
I love your videos. I found them about 2 weeks ago and think I've binge watched everything. look forward to many more :) thanks guys
That's awesome to hear! Glad to have you in our little family :D
You guys picked great food too. Everyone else that comes here tries horrible food like whale and rotten fish and stuff, but you guys picked the good food. People get this impression that our traditional food is all gross sheep sculls and horrible things, but a lot of the traditional food here is actually pretty good. Glad you liked our food, flesk og duppe is one of my favorite foods, easy to make too, bit fattening though but worth it. Thanks for sharing and good luck adventuring.
Glad we did it right! We honestly found the food really tasty. We can't wait to go back!
Ha ha! You're just watching bizarre foods. Everyone has those weird things. Hopefully just as many non bizarre good foods.
Went to Chile and Uruguay 🇺🇾 average meal with a beer 🍺 $ 20.00 US for 1 person
well they still showed the brunost wich is honestly just gross
As a norwegain, I have never Even heard of flesk og duppe, I dont Even know What duppe is! Norwegain food has so many wierd names and the names can vary based on which part of the country you Are in. Like Raspeballer for example, I have grown up with raspeballer, and my friend grew up with Komler, it is the same dish
I like jazz in the background, this really makes your video original. High quality production!
Just as a reference to the price level, I paid 200 NOK for a single large simple pepperoni pizza yesterday (Domino's) and that's the equivalent of 24 USD. If you rent a car, a 50 liter tank of gasoline costs like 800 NOK or 94 USD. A pint of beer at a bar costs about 100 NOK or 12 USD. A visit to a restaurant can easily set you back 50 USD per person. You do however save on tip, as there's no culture for tipping the staff.
Pretty much why I hardly eat out even once a year. But we do tip, perhaps not so much anymore. Used to be more commonplace as far as I am aware.
Great video! Loved the background music, really nice in my most humble opinion. Yummy on the foods! Thank you kindly💖😙💕
There’s so much more then this!!! Norway has so good food and candy
What I love about Norwegian food is the vast flavor spectrum. Some foods are amazing for me while others can be challenging.
Thanks for sharing. I have been looking for some Norway food and you showed several in this video that i will be trying. 👍
Raindear burgers are great but if you really wanna taste raindear, go for a raindear roast, served with potatoes , saus made from raindear stock and veggies. Now that is a "mouthgasm". Also if your here in the summertime , fresh shrimp on a baguette, served with a nice cold beer is a winner. "Lapskaus" is basicly Irish stew, and one of my favs. and last but not least.. Whalebeef, it is truly amazing. It tastes like game , but with a "hint of ocean". It's very tender and served the right way just mindblowingly good.
Thanks so much for the tips! Sounds delicious :D
Tim with the coffee! These food series are getting better! The endless food adventures, I'm glad the meat was cooked this time YUM
+iamtimchung thanks mr Tim ✌️
I tried the reindeer patties in lorry's after watching your video. And I must say, it was totally worth it! Just loved it.
You guys are so awesome! Great video...keep them coming! Food there looks and sounds so yummy! Thanks for sharing~
That was a great vlog! Norway is on my travel list next. thanks for the intro to some cultural dishes.
Great video...thank you! Norway is definitely on my bucket List x
I gotta tell you -- you guys are absolutely adorable! Happy adventuring!!
Aww, shucks! Thanks! :)
Thank you for this. I will spending 2 days in Oslo in June. Now I have idea of dishes to try as well as restaurants. 😊
Brunost is liiiiiife. It’s so good! I love it with strawberry jam on a little of the crispy rye bread. So goooooood.
Brunost and rye are so perfect for each other.
If you want to try BRUNOST (Brown Cheese) go to any supermarket in the US and pick up a cheese wrapped in red plastic. The name is SKI QUEEN. Slice it thin. It is not good if you cut it up in cubes. Good luck.
Awesome! I'm from Norway and I was sitting and eating "Brunost" for Breakfast while watching this haha!
That editing with the pointing and the words and the...don't know why I'm always so impressed by that kind of thing but God I am.
😂👉
Gonna try all these this weekend!! Can’t wait
I especially enjoy your food videos. I've never traveled in Norway, but these dishes make me want to move it up the priority list.
+rjohnson611 nice! Well we hope you get to visit 😄👍
put a big smile on my face once again I wish I could show u how much I love u guys thank you for all ur videos
Thanks you so much! So glad to hear that :D
20 usd = 170 nok that is dirt cheap in Noway's standards lol
170 NOK per person is quite average, keeping in mind it's the capital and you're eating at a nice place i wouldn't call it expensive :)
20 usd is not bad per. Person in Oslo, but try to eat Torske (cod) dinner from "Lofoten" at Aker Brygge resturant here in Oslo. Then tell us how much you paid for this.?. But yes Torsk (cod) with all accessories is absolutely amazing on taste "before you have paid the bill"...;-)
In my experience, Oslo actually has the cheapest services in the country due to the large influx of Schengen migrant workers on the labour market there (Eastern-Europeans mostly). It has gotten so bad that you can no longer expect the staff to speak Norwegian when you go out in Oslo.
Yeah. As a norwegian I went "That was cheap."
As a Dutch person going to Norway soon I was scared of how expensive it would be, but 20 dollars is like eating normal and semicheap in a restaurant here too, so good to know that it's just like Dutch prices. :P
Went to Oslo 3 months ago. It was amazing. Stayed 2 months eating and exploring
I'm norwegian, and I wanted all these dishes immidiately !!
Oh, and if you get to Sardinia, make sure to try Casu Marzu, which is an ancient cheese preparation that has been practiced for thousands of years, yummy.
I've been watching 'Yourwaytonorway' videos which are super funny. So your Norway video came up for me to see on KZhead. I absolutely loved it. Enjoyed every minute! Going to subscribe.
love the video and all you soundtracks are awesome
This was very good. The food looked amazing.
Great vid guys keep it up, love the food ones in particular!
Thanks Matt! We love those ones too...mmmm! 😊
As a Oslo citizen this was fun to watch! If you ever go back, try some bars/pubs! Oslo is growing and becoming more attractive for tourists!
Im from Norway and it’s so fun to look at you trying food’s that is normal for me🙂
Great video! I make fårikål every year when the lamb season is. Last thursday of september is fårikål day here in Norway. Fårikål taste even better the day after is's made.
The “sandwich” she talked about with shrimp is so delicious. It is fresh shrimp on white bread with butter and yellow mayonnaise and a squeeze of lemon on top. It is my favorite dish you can get it a lot of places but not everyplace has fresh shrimp, some use shrimp in “lake” it is already pealed and put in water in a jar. It is still good but fresh shrimp is the best.
I grew up eating that brown cheese. We called it Gjost. If you toast a bagel and put butter, the Gjost and then strawberry jam on the bagel it's like dessert. So much good food to try in Norway.
I've always wanted to visit Norway. I'm writing these down in my list of things to eat in Norway!
Great video really enjoy watching your posts
Excellent food, place, people, culture, snow, climate_ I love to settle in Norway👍
u guys are soooo cute!!! and the food looked amazing. i found myself wanting to try everything you showed us!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
The Endless Adventure.... What a nice couple you are! I have been interested in Norway for quite some time and I just found this video. It was so good that I have immediately subscribed. Would rather watch and learn from nice and classy people like you. Have fun and best wishes for your continued adventures... God bless you with safe travels....
So glad you had fun exploring Oslo with us! Welcome to the adventure! :)
I'm visiting the beginning of next year. Jan-Feb. So excited
I loved how you said brunost! And you guys are great, new follower here!
Visiting in Feb.. really helpful, thanks!
$20 for a meal like that is a steal in Norway!
I love Oslo. Been there 5 times. Want to go back and taste these dishes.
I grew up on this food. You really did a great job describing it. NOW I'M HUNGRY!
Nice vid, guys! Greetings from Oslo :) Fårikal, flesk & duppe and reindeer, brunost and salmon. Real Norwegian cuisine.
Why? Why did I watch this while I was hungry? Everything looks so good. Amazing actually. Thanks for sharing. Well done video.
Great video! The foods look yummy!
why oh why is it so interesting to watch other people eat??? You guys rock!
+mithaweed no clue! 😂
Waoooowww..yummmmy..look so delicious .thanks for sharing..friend❤️
One thing you should know, is that Norway is the developed country that is at the bottom in use of antibiotics in meat production, and the pigs is the least medicated in the industrialized world. USA use almost 200 times more antibiotics in meat production, Italy even more, and Spain is using 300 times more antibiotics in their famous pork. The cleanest and best meat in the world is produced in Norway, Iceland and New Zealand.
I don't get how you guys only have 10k subscribers! You're videos are so amazing
Thanks so much!
I am headed to Oslo in one week with my husband who will be busy with business. Thank you for giving me a "taste" of what is in store. :)
can’t wait to visit norway and try these!!
The sidedish you got with the potatoes looks like kålrot stappe! Love your video! From Norway with love
It is not cauliflower and carrots, it is rutebega and carrots, mashed together with butter, cream, seasonings and some sauce from either the meat or the veggies
I'm coming to Norway for some caramel cheese. Salt and sweet just sounds wonderful😛
The national dish for sure. Exactly my kind of food.
Like your food blogs. Comments that you should try this and that is all well and good, but as I have found from personal experience in my extensive travels, ya can't try it all. So best to select from the traditional cuisine choices and sample those. Best wishes to you both and keep up the interesting and flavorful blogs.
Are you sure it's cranberries? I think it's lingonberries. Maybe the restaurant tries to be fancy or exotic(?) but traditionally most meals like these are served with lingonberries.
Ya, I think they was lingonberries. It was our first experience with them so we just assumed they were cranberries. Whoops! -A
those sandwiches are beauty! The bacon meat omg. Omg I have to make the tzimmes cauliflower and carrots. yummy, even with raisinslamb stew. yes!!!
Oh, yum! Just found this video and I grew up in a Norwegian community in N Minnesota (my Dad spoke nothing but Norwegian til he was 6 and went to a small country school.) Anyway, you can get that lovely cheese in America - it's gjetost. And the lingonberries are available as jams here in America. Minnesota upscale grocery stores often carry fresh lingonberries around Christmas.
I've just checked out Lorry restaurant website and looks awesome, I often go to Norway. when I'm next in Oslo I'm having the reindeer burger, the 3 course menu also looks amazing!
Flesk is bacon and duppe is a type of like white sauce and we usualy eat it for dinner!
Thank you Norway food
Eat your greens!!! Greetings from the Dominican Republic.
Don't know for the others but I WANT MORE GUYS !!! This is so awesome !!!!!!!! Keep'em comin' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😋😋😋😋😋
love seeing the food you try! food is the best
So glad you enjoy it!
I'm so excited to see this video. I'm going to Oslo in a few weeks. I have been wanting to find some great places to eat and really try some authentic dishes. Would you tell me when you guys were there and what the weather / temperature was like? What else would you recommend doing, trying, seeing?
Im From norway and tysm for the love to it and no negativity
The Flesk and Duppe stewed thing was probably mashed rutabagas, which is typically mashed together with a potato or two and some carrots to balance it out a bit. It's pretty tasty, but the rest of the world tends to give rutabagas as animal fodder.
I'm not a cuisine person but the food seemed high quality & I would like to try it, esp. the first diner.
Best channel on youtube by a mile!! Come visit Wales and try lavabread and cockles someday. Love your videos!
Brown cheese is my favorite! Great video :)
Excellent vlog
