A few Norwegian Favorites . . .

Lutefisk - Traditional Norwegian seafood dish, and by some considered a delicacy. This delicacy is basically a fish that has been immersed in lye and rinsed in water. (Why????)

A-ha - The members of A-ha, Norway’s only international successful music export are considered national icons in Norway. Norwegians are also quick to point out that the group had several top ten hits, and that the group wasn't a one hit wonder who’s only real success was the song ‘Take on me’.

Röyksopp - One of my favorite Norwegian musical exports. Perhaps not as well known as A-ha, but amazingly talented.  

Brown cheese - And finally, did you know that one of the most popular cheeses in Norway is brown and sweet?

Med hilsen.
