The snack in Norway is too good.... i can see it CLEARLY in the mirror every day... 😅 Good you stated that Kvikk lunch is better than a KitKat.... Giving it a 7 will almost ban you from travelling to Norway again, the government is very strict! Prefering KitKat would have given you a 20 year ban! 🤪
Haha yes you guys have great snacks, I didn’t bring enough back home & I’m already dreaming about them 🤭 Haha oh no, I mean 7 is pretty high & I defo preferred it to a kitkat so hopefully I’m allowed back 😜🤭
@@littleniks It's really funny you've called the jellymen and -ladies "la Ban" instead of the usual Laaah-bunn or something (I don't have the phonetics symbols in here).
The writing on the Kvikk Lunsj wrapper is probably "Fjellvettreglene", which translates to "The mountain code" which is a set of guidelines that'll keep you safe when hiking in the mountains. These are the rules in english: 1. Plan your trip and inform others about the route you have selected. 2. Adapt the planned routes according to ability and conditions. 3. Pay attention to the weather and the avalanche warnings. 4. Be prepared for bad weather and frost, even on short trips. 5. Bring the necessary equipment so you can help yourself and others. 6. Choose safe routes. Recognize avalanche terrain and unsafe ice. 7. Use a map and a compass. Always know where you are. 8. Don’t be ashamed to turn around. 9. Conserve your energy and seek shelter if necessary.
Brown cheese on fresh bread/varm baguette and with strawberry jam under the brown cheese is so good. Try it! Also, brown cheese, butter and strawberry jam on Norwegian waffles (and sour cream or «rømme» which is not as sour and its thicker).
Thank you for this, I love to hear how you enjoy it. I bought a fresh baguette & some jam, as so many people have suggested that. So I’ll try it that way today 🤭 Also I was gutted I didn’t get to try the Norwegian waffles 🙃 but that combo sounds so good 🤭 Thanks for watching 🥰
@@ThorerikMadsen not necessarily. Some are a mix of goat and cows milk, some are only cow’s milk and some are only goat, but then it’s Geitost and not brunost.
The Firkløver- literally Four Leaf Clover- is a real Classic. It` s The go-to choice for us who prefer milk choc with a twist😊 Also comes as Fruktnøtt, Helnøtt and Melkesjokolade..Fruit Nut, Whole Nut and Milk Chocolate..containing raisins, nuts or standard milk choc❤ Love them all❤
Fun Fact: Some say, the 24-square size of the large 200g Norwegian chocolate bars is because of Christmas..A pocket-sized advent calendar😊 One square for every day of advent. Though, it can be very hard sticking to that, if we do do this.. Freia also has experimented a bit lately- our little Clovers have been Special Editioned with flavours like Orange-Sea Salt and Coffee😉 As for the plain milk, even crazier combos are seasonally available. So, I mix them up with a bit of Cadbury` s, Tobler or Fazer - from Finland- when and if i can. They are all Et lite stykke Norge..A Little Piece of Norway🤩 In a way, so are Nidar` s Stratos , Troika and Hobby too. Depends , where in Norway you happen to find yourself. Freia even has a shop in Karl Johans Gate, Oslo, stocking the entire line-up. In chocaholic-friendly sizes. Expensive, but worth it, in my op..A must-visit for next time😊
@@littleniks It is rather GOOD..❤ Another favourite for Christmas is The 1 KG Box of Kong Haakon ( King Haakon ) . Which is our best-loved Box-A-Chocs. Created to celebrate King Haakon VII..Up north, in Trondheim or Tromsø, Nidar` s SFINX has A similar status..Not as Big, but nearly as good. Preferences, again..
I couldn't help but smile when you tried Smash 😅 Smash is so good because it triggers all the pleasure centers in the brain, so that was a clever moove of Nidar (the company that makes them). Thanks for sharing this moment with us, and welcome back to Norway soon 🥰
The Kim's brand is originally Danish, but is now owned by a Norwegian company. Other than that, everything is pure Norwegian. The whole idea with the Laban Seigmenner is that they are stretchy. The slogan is "stretches a bit further". A super kid's snack. My favourites among Your snacks are Bamsemums and Smash. My favourite way to eat brown cheese, is on fresh bread with raspberry jam. Yummy!
Hey 👋🏻 that’s so fascinating to know, I love hearing where the brands come from etc & how they differ from ours. I have to agree I finished off the Bamsemums & they are so good, same with smash (sad I didn’t actually bring more of this back) we have nothing like Smash over here. Also a few people have said they pair the brown cheese with jam, so I’m definitely going to try it as I’ve some left 🤭 Thanks for watching 🫶🏻
Greetings from Oslo! The chocolate roll «Smil» means «to smile» in english. It also says on the packaging «invented to be shared» ➡️ Both a smile and «Smil» is meant to be shared ❤ Like you just did in the video!
Here is a tip if you still have some browncheese or brunost what we do in norway is we take a loaf of bread and put some smeared butter on the bread then we but brown cheese on the loaf with smeared butter
I finally got round to trying the brown cheese on toast.. it was so delicious 🤤 Just got back from a week visit, will definitely be back to explore more ☺️
They make Laban with ladyhumps(seigdamer), and making male appendages is just biting the foot off one and put it anatomically correct on another 🤣 The Freia bird is a Stork btw
The next time in Norway go out on a limb and ask when they have a sign that says "Rømmegrøt". We also have a meat cut called "fenalår" that's an acquired taste, I don't hold it against you if you prefer not to but the trip would be such a waste.
Browncheese is so good on fresh bread with a bit of butter. No need for anything else. Other ways to eat it is on Norwegian waffles, with strawberry jam and a little bit of sourcream, or on warm toast with a little butter aswell :)

It's nice that you've commented on the Marabou, uh, marabou stork because when they branched out to Sweden in 1916 the Freia name conflicted with a name that was taken so the story goes they just grabbed the breed of stork and called the Swedish branch Marabou. That's it and you're welcome.
The brown cheese is not looked at as "snacks", but you are right it is very popular. If you fancy it, it is much cheaper if you buy a whole cheese and slice it yourself. Norwegians use brown cheese on freshly baked bread or rolls.
Here is a tip if you still have some browncheese or brunost what we do in norway is we take a loaf of bread and put some smeared butter on the bread then we but brown cheese on the loaf with smeared butter PS its healthy no sugar at all and it is not good for melting
So a little fun fact: The Cartoonies are actually a cereal. One pack I belive is one bowl of cereal. I been eating them through the years but straight out of the package. Last time I got them I randomly read the backside of the package and your supposed to have them with milk. I would say I prefer them without tho. Just Straight out of the package. The cookie around them kinda get mushy. Also there was way more chock late in them before. Idk what happened but when I had them last time there was barley any chocolate in them..
Oh my goodness no way 🤭maybe that’s why they tasted so different! When they used to be over here I’m so sure they were marketed as biscuits 🤭 but we don’t have them anymore! So yeah maybe they have changed! Also thanks for watching ☺️
7:39 - what are those? I´ve lived in Norway my entire 47 years, and I´ve never seen those... How are these Norwegian snacks? 8:54 - now we´re talking! I can never have just one Smil! They are to die for! 10:47 - You´re dead on with the old school branding - this is a very old snack indeed! 1973 kind of old!
Firkløver is a great classic Norwegian chocolate, but the newer "Fruktnøtt" is an absolute delight! 25:42 - before you open that package, I declare that you´re going to be sorry you only bought one of those.
Awh thank you for watching ☺️ also that sounds like an amazing combo, I will have to try it. Oooh & the jingle for smash is definitely correct because I’ve instantly regretted not bringing a suitcase full back 😂🤭
@@littleniks I introduced my English friend to them when I lived there, so now I send them to her every birthday and Christmas ;) lol She curses not having them in England ♥
Awh thank you for this ☺️ & yess it’s a beautiful country, we will definitely be back 🥰 so much beauty, wonderful people & delicious food! Thank you for watching 🥰
So, Fløtemysost is not a snack - it´s a spread! Have it on toast, that´s amazing! The heat really brings out all the best flavours! Try to combine that with some apricot jam, it´s delicious!
Freia's bird logo Each and every chocolate piece of Freia milk chocolate is decorated with the Marabus stork symbol. This logo originates from a competition organized by Freia in 1907, which involved decorating a cake box. The winner of the competition was retoucher Oscar Carl Augen Kristoffersen (1884-1908).
no one each btown cheese as snacks:) you eag it on a slice of bread or crackers witv butter. many use some jam on top. the one you choose is the mildest and sweetest from cow milk.. originsl brown cheese is made from goat milk and has a distinct sharp taste.
4:29 - the bird is a Marabou stork, symbol of our largest chocolate company, Freia. Also the name of the biggest chocolate producer in Sweden, which is closely related to ours. I love that you actually broke the "fingers" off to eat one at a time, the proper way! We´ll get a hizzy fit up here when people try to take a bite out of the entire plate ;) 5:48 - My favourite type of chips! Yeah, they are "high quality" if you´d like to call fatty, salty snacks quality ;) You should really try "Spansk paprika" though, they´re even better than this one IMO. If you want Norwegian tradition, I´d say you need Maarud´s "Ost & Løk" though. They´re cheese and onion flavour, and a very popular "staple" snack in Norway :)
The Smash is actually chocolate covered Bugles. Idk if you know what bugles are but they were more popular back in the day. They still sell them here and there but they not as popular. They are pretty weird but highly addictive.. Lol
Oh yeah I think I remember bugles, don’t think I see them around here anymore unless I’m looking in the wrong places 😂 but yess they are like those but we just need ones with chocolate on them 🤤
12:25 - yeah, Reindeer are farmed for eating, and we have a lot of Moose that´s very good eating as well. Whale is not all that common, but sure, some people like that as well. It´s mammal meat, like a steak, but with a weird fishy taste as far as I´m concerned. Whenever you see "Viking" on any package in Norway, well that´s a sure sign that it´s for tourists... That does not include any museums or attractions otherwise. 14:53 - Bamse+mums means something along the lines of Bear yummies. Every kid in this country has gotten sick on these! You just want more and more, until you´ve suddenly had enough that they want out again...
Thank you so much for all the info on all of the products ☺️ I love hearing what you guys enjoy & what is actually popular etc. so yeah I appreciate it ☺️
Great review. A good selection of popular Norwegian snacks. Kvikk Lunsj (quick lunch) is probably the most Norwegian thing there. It's far superior to Kitkat because the chocolate is better as you noticed. Norwegians are proud of that. Norwegians typically have them when they go on their many long walks. One thing. You missed out on salty liquorice. Very popular in Norway. Not to everyone's taste but I love it.
Awh thank you, I love hearing how you guys enjoy the snacks! I can definitely see why the Kvikk Lunsj is very popular, it was delicious 🤤! We actually meant to pick up some liquorice as we kept seeing it everywhere & realised it must be super popular. We don’t have the salty version of it over here 🤭
0:44 - what do you mean? Crossover between Norway and Sweden or between NI and Norway? As a Norwegian, I don´t think we have a lot of common ground when it comes to any kind of foodstuff. I mean, we buy a lot of our snacks in Sweden, but the border shops are more Norwegian than Swedish in and of themselves. In general, I think it´s fair to say that the Swedish taste is a lot more towards the sweet, whilst Norwegians often prefer sour or salty.
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching. So we done a Swedish snack video quite a few years ago (never visited Sweden) but we got sent a snack box to try. When we then went to Norway recently we noticed some of the snacks we had in the Swedish video 🤭 maybe it’s just more the sweets etc are similar or have a crossover.
Just from a quick look at the whale sausage, it contains "only" 50 % whale. The rest is pork, pork tongue, salt, spices, pork protein, sugar, garlic etc. A proper whale steak is 100 %.
Solo is like you say an orange soft drink that taste much like Fanta. A life hack, if you are into soft drinks, but don't want all the sugar ... and don't want to use a fortune on buying the stuff, go to a typical norwegian supermarket and buy a bottle of Fun Light with orange taste. Then poor a little of it in a glass and add carbonized water, either from bottles bought in the supermarket, or even better from one of those carboniser machines. That will taste just like Solo / Fanta and is sugar free.
Next time, try dried reindeer meat (known lokally as "tørkakjøtt" or "tørket kjøtt", preferably dried reindeer heart), dried and saltet lamb ("fenalår"), or dried cod ("tørrfisk"). 😊 Otherwise, cheers for trying out norwegian stuff. Kind regards from 70 degrees North🇸🇯
Haha I realised what a huge mistake when I got home. I tried them & instantly regretted not bringing more back 🤭 that bag didn’t last long! I will definitely stock up next time haha 🤭
Im from norway :) 1:50 have it on toast with butter. or a slice of bread with butter then the brown cheese :) best are def the smash. unresistable. fattens me up very quickly haha
Kvikk Lunsj menas quick lunch. Regularitet something to bring on trips to take a stripe as a quick lunsj Smil is Smile, they’re meant to make you smile
Lastly just because you “see it everywhere” doesn’t make it popular. Norway is a tiny country, and we have very little variety or selection of goods, especially foods and snacks/candy, unless special shops, or immigrant shops, therefore we have few brands and not much to choose from. What I hate about living here. It’s just that every grocery store has the most common brands, and the only thing that varies from each store is the selection of especially chips/crisps. So everyone knows their stores lol. We also often have 3+ grocery stores at the same location so you can get all the brands you prefer🤣🤣🤣 I live in Oslo and we have like Coop, Kiwi and Rema 1000, plus Joker and Bunnpris to choose from in regards to grocery stores in my neighborhood. Meny which is the most expensive one besides Joker, is in the neighboring area.
Norwegian here. Never saw brown cheese as “snacks” ever lol. We always eat that with either a slice of bread or with waffles. Calling is cheddar, but sweet tho… nah. Almost sounds like an insult of some kind😝 Of course it’s individual how you wanna enjoy this cheese, but if you want it the authentic way, on a slice of bread or on your waffle is how it’s done. It’s also much better straight out of the fridge. You don’t want it too out for too long so it gets wet and sticky. That’s just gross. We have various types of this type of caramelized brown cheese. Very traditional. Fun fact: All Brits are as high as 24% Scandinavian, mostly of Norwegian decent due to the Norse settlers recent genetic study show. My bf is Icelandic and he’s part Irish. Icelanders even have “Celtic skin”. Also when they 1st settled Iceland from Western Norway, no woman wanted to come with, so they stopped over in Dublin, which was a viking settlement at the time, and female slaves to take with them. Also the very 1st people to settle Iceland was actually Irish monks who were killed when the Norse arrived, luckily they left their livestock for the invaders to have. Iceland also have many Celtic place names.
The brown cheese is not cheese really. It is produced by boiling the milk whey containing the milk sugar into a caramelized substance. It thickens and hardens when cooled. It has been made for centuries in Norway.
Cool that you liked Norwegian foods 👍 I saw somewhere online that Norway is actually known for really boring food, and im not sure how they came to that conclusion. I guess some of the traditional dishes can be a bit bland (or even distasteful like boiled cod, torskerogn, lungemos, smalahove, and syltelabber) compared to more flavorful foods with a lot of spices, but what kinda weirdo doesnt like fårikål, pinnekjøtt, ribbe, kjøttkaker, pork chops, or "flesk i duppe"? 💀
Haha with all the countries I’ve tried snacks from Norway defo rates high 🤭 I also thought you guys do fish dishes like nowhere else 🤭! You’d be mad no to enjoy all those yummy snacks 🤭🥰
not giving smash a 10 is outragous! xD

The chocolate was honestly so delicious 🤤 and oh my goodness yess, I am gutted I didn’t pack a suitcase full of smash 🤭😂
If u melt brun ost you will get something called prim
I love smashhhhh its so good!
The brown cheese on toast, with orange marmalade with peel and salty butter. You can not get a better snack
Awh thank you for watching ☺️ also that sounds like an amazing combo, I will have to try it. Oooh & the jingle for smash is definitely correct because I’ve instantly regretted not bringing a suitcase full back 😂🤭
@@littleniks I introduced my English friend to them when I lived there, so now I send them to her every birthday and Christmas ;) lol She curses not having them in England ♥
Lawv yer akksints, guys 💚💙 This was a fun watch 😊
Best wishes from a 🇳🇴 former college student in Dohblin
Hey 👋🏻 Awh thank you so much, I appreciate the lovely comment 🥰
I’m not to fond of fresh laban, but you open the bag and forget it for about one or two weeks, they are perfect
The brown cheese must be use with waffels or white bread!
The bird on the chocolate looks like a flamingo yes, but its actually a Stork. Also glad you enjoyed my home country ^^
Awh thank you for this ☺️ & yess it’s a beautiful country, we will definitely be back 🥰 so much beauty, wonderful people & delicious food!
Thank you for watching 🥰
It's a stork actually.
To be exact, it´s a Marabou stork.
@@mimosa7070 Yup.
So, Fløtemysost is not a snack - it´s a spread! Have it on toast, that´s amazing! The heat really brings out all the best flavours! Try to combine that with some apricot jam, it´s delicious!
Thanks for this, I must try this combo 🤭
If you dere Call that a kit kat one more time
Haha I didn’t call it a kitkat, I said it was like a kitkat 😜
On the bamsemums pack is says included mums. It is a word play as moms is a common word for VAT.
Several of my mortal enemies on display here... Norwegian snack-producers don't play - this is why we walk everywhere.
Yeah, trying to wear off these things.. Walking for 5 hours earns you the calories of one Kvikk-Lunsj! Woo-Hoo!! ;)
23:29 «Årets smak» means taste of the year. :)
Awh thanks for this ☺️ that’s cool to know, makes sense as they are so delish 🤤
Freia's bird logo
Each and every chocolate piece of Freia milk chocolate is decorated with the Marabus stork symbol. This logo originates from a competition organized by Freia in 1907, which involved decorating a cake box. The winner of the competition was retoucher Oscar Carl Augen Kristoffersen (1884-1908).
Hey thanks for watching ☺️ also thank you for the info, that’s so cool to know ☺️
The slogan to smash is you cant have just one. 😂 its addictive😜
Haha well the slogan is definitely correct 🤭😂
I are from Norway 😄❤️
Jeg også❤❤❤elsker norge😊
the slogan for Smash is basically "it's hard to just eat one".
seems like that was about right xD
Haha yess I have to agree 🤭 that pack didn’t last long 😂
no one each btown cheese as snacks:) you eag it on a slice of bread or crackers witv butter. many use some jam on top. the one you choose is the mildest and sweetest from cow milk.. originsl brown cheese is made from goat milk and has a distinct sharp taste.
Freia is technically based in Sweden 🇸🇪 but only makes chocolate for Norway 🇳🇴
the first snack is named brun ost or in english brown cheese becuase im from norway so i know a lot about snacks from norway
4:29 - the bird is a Marabou stork, symbol of our largest chocolate company, Freia. Also the name of the biggest chocolate producer in Sweden, which is closely related to ours. I love that you actually broke the "fingers" off to eat one at a time, the proper way! We´ll get a hizzy fit up here when people try to take a bite out of the entire plate ;)
5:48 - My favourite type of chips! Yeah, they are "high quality" if you´d like to call fatty, salty snacks quality ;) You should really try "Spansk paprika" though, they´re even better than this one IMO. If you want Norwegian tradition, I´d say you need Maarud´s "Ost & Løk" though. They´re cheese and onion flavour, and a very popular "staple" snack in Norway :)
Try brown cheese with strawberry jam on a slice of bread and you are in love ;)
In Norwegian it is brown cheese, brunost
I comming from Norvay❤❤😊
The Smash is actually chocolate covered Bugles. Idk if you know what bugles are but they were more popular back in the day. They still sell them here and there but they not as popular.
They are pretty weird but highly addictive.. Lol
Oh yeah I think I remember bugles, don’t think I see them around here anymore unless I’m looking in the wrong places 😂 but yess they are like those but we just need ones with chocolate on them 🤤
throw the smash in the fridge first and you'll have a 10!
12:25 - yeah, Reindeer are farmed for eating, and we have a lot of Moose that´s very good eating as well. Whale is not all that common, but sure, some people like that as well. It´s mammal meat, like a steak, but with a weird fishy taste as far as I´m concerned. Whenever you see "Viking" on any package in Norway, well that´s a sure sign that it´s for tourists... That does not include any museums or attractions otherwise.
14:53 - Bamse+mums means something along the lines of Bear yummies. Every kid in this country has gotten sick on these! You just want more and more, until you´ve suddenly had enough that they want out again...
Thank you so much for all the info on all of the products ☺️ I love hearing what you guys enjoy & what is actually popular etc. so yeah I appreciate it ☺️
Great review. A good selection of popular Norwegian snacks.
Kvikk Lunsj (quick lunch) is probably the most Norwegian thing there. It's far superior to Kitkat because the chocolate is better as you noticed. Norwegians are proud of that. Norwegians typically have them when they go on their many long walks.
One thing. You missed out on salty liquorice. Very popular in Norway. Not to everyone's taste but I love it.
Awh thank you, I love hearing how you guys enjoy the snacks! I can definitely see why the Kvikk Lunsj is very popular, it was delicious 🤤!
We actually meant to pick up some liquorice as we kept seeing it everywhere & realised it must be super popular. We don’t have the salty version of it over here 🤭
I am from Norway ❤❤❤ Norway snacks sooooooo gooooood❤❤👍💖😋🥔🇳🇴❤❤🇳🇴🍫🍭🍪
They are so delish 🤤
Smil means smile
0:44 - what do you mean? Crossover between Norway and Sweden or between NI and Norway? As a Norwegian, I don´t think we have a lot of common ground when it comes to any kind of foodstuff. I mean, we buy a lot of our snacks in Sweden, but the border shops are more Norwegian than Swedish in and of themselves. In general, I think it´s fair to say that the Swedish taste is a lot more towards the sweet, whilst Norwegians often prefer sour or salty.
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching. So we done a Swedish snack video quite a few years ago (never visited Sweden) but we got sent a snack box to try.
When we then went to Norway recently we noticed some of the snacks we had in the Swedish video 🤭 maybe it’s just more the sweets etc are similar or have a crossover.
Just from a quick look at the whale sausage, it contains "only" 50 % whale. The rest is pork, pork tongue, salt, spices, pork protein, sugar, garlic etc.
A proper whale steak is 100 %.
The kviklunsj its like kitkat❤
Solo is like you say an orange soft drink that taste much like Fanta. A life hack, if you are into soft drinks, but don't want all the sugar ... and don't want to use a fortune on buying the stuff, go to a typical norwegian supermarket and buy a bottle of Fun Light with orange taste. Then poor a little of it in a glass and add carbonized water, either from bottles bought in the supermarket, or even better from one of those carboniser machines. That will taste just like Solo / Fanta and is sugar free.
Hey 👋🏻 thank you for watching & thank you for the tip ☺️
Next time, try dried reindeer meat (known lokally as "tørkakjøtt" or "tørket kjøtt", preferably dried reindeer heart), dried and saltet lamb ("fenalår"), or dried cod ("tørrfisk"). 😊 Otherwise, cheers for trying out norwegian stuff. Kind regards from 70 degrees North🇸🇯
The cheese that is’nt cheese is called Brunost in Norwegian❤
Im from norway, My favorite chip is sørlandschips
Hobby always bangs, 38 years in and I still get them 💥
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching! Oh my goodness it was so yummy 🤤
The reason brown cheese is brown is because the whey is double-boiled until the milk sugars start to caramelize.
Sørlands chips is best i eat it all the time.
I’m from NORWAY
Brown cheese with raspberry jam on toast is the best!!!
I am from norway❤❤❤
Hey 👋🏻 thank you for watching 💕
@@littleniks❤😊❤
Only 100 grams of Smash?? HUGE mistake 😂 oh well.... Remember to bring an empty suitcase next time 😁
Haha I realised what a huge mistake when I got home. I tried them & instantly regretted not bringing more back 🤭 that bag didn’t last long! I will definitely stock up next time haha 🤭
I don't eat candy anymore. Just because I don't like sweets. But I used to. I have eaten a LOT of Smil! :)
The Smil are soooo good 🤤 we have something similar over here but the caramel & chocolate wouldn’t be as nice 🤤
4:31 The bird is called The marabou stork (Leptoptilos crumenifer in latin)
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for letting me know ☺️
Im from norway :)
1:50 have it on toast with butter. or a slice of bread with butter then the brown cheese :)
best are def the smash. unresistable. fattens me up very quickly haha
I eventually had the brown cheese on bread 🤭 it was so delicious! Haha yess smash is too good! 🤭
Me to
Inside the kvikk lunsj they have written an norwegian classic fairy tale :)
Youre suppost to putt the brown cheese on bread😅❤
Kvikk Lunsj menas quick lunch. Regularitet something to bring on trips to take a stripe as a quick lunsj
Smil is Smile, they’re meant to make you smile
I’m Norwegian and not giving smash a 10 kills me!
Lastly just because you “see it everywhere” doesn’t make it popular. Norway is a tiny country, and we have very little variety or selection of goods, especially foods and snacks/candy, unless special shops, or immigrant shops, therefore we have few brands and not much to choose from. What I hate about living here. It’s just that every grocery store has the most common brands, and the only thing that varies from each store is the selection of especially chips/crisps. So everyone knows their stores lol. We also often have 3+ grocery stores at the same location so you can get all the brands you prefer🤣🤣🤣 I live in Oslo and we have like Coop, Kiwi and Rema 1000, plus Joker and Bunnpris to choose from in regards to grocery stores in my neighborhood. Meny which is the most expensive one besides Joker, is in the neighboring area.
Nice
I am from norway
Sammeee
Norwegian here. Never saw brown cheese as “snacks” ever lol. We always eat that with either a slice of bread or with waffles. Calling is cheddar, but sweet tho… nah. Almost sounds like an insult of some kind😝 Of course it’s individual how you wanna enjoy this cheese, but if you want it the authentic way, on a slice of bread or on your waffle is how it’s done. It’s also much better straight out of the fridge. You don’t want it too out for too long so it gets wet and sticky. That’s just gross. We have various types of this type of caramelized brown cheese. Very traditional.
Fun fact:
All Brits are as high as 24% Scandinavian, mostly of Norwegian decent due to the Norse settlers recent genetic study show.
My bf is Icelandic and he’s part Irish. Icelanders even have “Celtic skin”. Also when they 1st settled Iceland from Western Norway, no woman wanted to come with, so they stopped over in Dublin, which was a viking settlement at the time, and female slaves to take with them. Also the very 1st people to settle Iceland was actually Irish monks who were killed when the Norse arrived, luckily they left their livestock for the invaders to have. Iceland also have many Celtic place names.
I’m Norwegian and we don’t eat whale, we ear reindeer and probably moose too but not sure about moose
You have to try the other Brown cheece from TINE next time ❤
BRUNOST 😊
The brown cheese is not cheese really. It is produced by boiling the milk whey containing the milk sugar into a caramelized substance. It thickens and hardens when cooled. It has been made for centuries in Norway.
I am from Norway❤
👋🏻 hey thanks for watching 🥰
Did it rain because I am from Norway did you go in the winter or summer
Cool that you liked Norwegian foods 👍 I saw somewhere online that Norway is actually known for really boring food, and im not sure how they came to that conclusion. I guess some of the traditional dishes can be a bit bland (or even distasteful like boiled cod, torskerogn, lungemos, smalahove, and syltelabber) compared to more flavorful foods with a lot of spices, but what kinda weirdo doesnt like fårikål, pinnekjøtt, ribbe, kjøttkaker, pork chops, or "flesk i duppe"? 💀
Haha with all the countries I’ve tried snacks from Norway defo rates high 🤭 I also thought you guys do fish dishes like nowhere else 🤭! You’d be mad no to enjoy all those yummy snacks 🤭🥰
