If you want really good soup it has to be made on proper knuckle/marrow bones etc. The natural thing in Norway is to use just what you ate the day before. It's not because we save or are poor, it's because that's the way you make real good broth.
It is common to use leftovers from the day before when cooking in Norway. It can be leftovers from meat, fish, vegetables or ready-made dishes. Not infrequently we cook more than we are going to eat on the same day in order to have something easy later in the week. Since we are located so far north, food has been a scarce resource, and in the past you could not let anything go to waste. The low temperatures in this country means that food keeps better than it would in warmer countries, even if it is kept outside the fridge. We often have a cool place in the house (basement floor or a storage room that is partially below ground level) where we can put pots and other food for storage - many have the opportunity to do so in the summer as well.
"Why do we not like authentic Norwegian food?" Authentic Norwegian food is cooked at home, We're Norwegian + we cook = Norwegian food... We don't go out out to eat something we can do better ourselves in general.
Must-have clothing per person includes a waterproof rain jacket, preferably with a hood and an umbrella for rainy days. A warm sweater or jacket for chill winds. Sunglasses and warm-weather clothing for sunny warm summer days. And the mentality that there is no bad weather, only bad preparation.
The only whale eaten and hunted here are Minkewhale, remember its a mammal so its propper red meat. Meatballs are scandinavian... in Norway they often are bigger in size and served with brown sauce, potatoes and either a macaroni stu or green pea stu.
If you eat at Rorbua, I strongly recommend trying 'boknafisk' if they have it on the menu (perhaps it's only in season), which is a northern Norwegian speciality. It is cod that is semi-dried before it is cooked. It is served with bacon, potatoes and carrot stew. Boknafisk is my absolute favorite fish dish. It is firmer in structure, and the drying imparts a wonderfully good, fermented taste to the fish. Of course, I also recommend trying both whale and reindeer, but if there are more of you, you can order different dishes and taste more than one dish.
Fish is more popular on the west coast all the way to the Russian border since you can easily get fresh fish every day. I grew up in a small fishing village, and we had fish five days a week because it was free. The best dish there is, in my opinion, is lightly salted cod with potatoes, carrots, fried bacon, and pea purée. There are many traditional fish dishes that, unfortunately, are only made by older people these days.
Authentic norwegian food would be. Fårikål, pinnekjøtt, kjøttkaker i brunsaus, flesk og duppe, lapskaus, finnbiff, oksesmåstek... to mention a few. Sidedishes would be like sossages in various places, waffles, fresh bread with browncheese but also good white cheeses are good. I did not mention fish but there are so much to choose from but main fish used would be like Cod, Haddock, Saith, Hallibut, salmon and trout... while there is other fishtype too these are most common. A delicatesse in the north are fried cod tounge, also quite popular here in the north are grilled stockfish, its prepared for 14 days prior to servings. For meat the most common local meat would be sheep, pig, bull/cow, reindeer, less common but used are horse, whale, moose and deer...
To elaborate on fishdishes... you dont boil fish you boil water and let the fish absorb the heat in the water without boiling it. We call it to let the fish "trekke". So you do this with fresh cod for example and serve it with boiled potatoes and melted melange and caramalized onions... its tasty but not really resturant food but very norwegian. Fried or grilled haddock and saith is good, again served with potatoes and maybe a nice fishsauce like sandefjordsmør or similar. Another typical dish atleast up here are fishcakes made from haddock mostly but other type can be used... served with potatoes and melted melange... simple but tasty and typical norwegian. Can serve with macronistu if adventourus... fishcakes are also good on fresh bread (sandwitch) with eithe caviar on top or mayonese... maybe some cucumber on as well. Also a good traditional dish is fiskegrateng... often made from leftover after like you have had fresh cod... Authentic norwegian food can sound simple but that is tasty... normal spices are salt and pepper but we norwegians do like to experiment as well so changes are there.
"Den glade gris" serves German food - not Norwegian. It's great though. Only Norway and Japan "fish" whales. It's outlawed in the rest of the world. Whale meat is like beef, but it's not in season when you get to Norway. It's best during spring, because the animals have less fat, and their fat tastes awful. Reindeer is amazing all year. Also, no one eats whale or reindeer on a regular basis. I'd recommend Schrøder or Larssen (the ones called brown pubs). They're the only two restaurants in Oslo that serve traditional Norwegian food that Norwegians have made at home for a long time. For a snack (and view) use your ticket on the public transport to go to Hovedøya - a 7 mins ferry trip. Watch the Oslo skyline and have a traditional Norwegian waffle at the shop there (if it's open).
The minke whale is listed as "viable" on both the Norwegian and international red lists. This means that it is not threatened in any way, and despite the fact that we carry out limited capture of minke whales, the population is increasing significantly. The population of minke whales is over 150,000 in Norwegian waters. Minke whales are the only type of whale that is hunted. There is nothing immoral about eating whale meat - but whale meat is much lower quality than, for example, beef - so we eat very little of it. Whale meat prepared by a professional chef is recommended to taste.
Whale steak is lovely ... tender, tasty and very very healthy. We only catch dared whales and take out less than 1K per year. The population therefore grows fast and now Beringers show that ... Quote "According to the new calculations, there are now about 150,000 daring whales in Norwegian waters".

Most traditional norwegian food is easy to make at home, so we go out to eat we usually choose food we normally doesn't eat

We usually end work at about 4 or 5 pm and make dinner as soon as we come home.
Dinnertime tends to happen around 5-7 PM in Norwegian homes, depending on family situations and work schedules.

If you dress for walking around in London in the fall you should be good. You can expect the same weather in Oslo.
You should try Fårikål, as always, best on day two.. =)
Reindeer it's very lean, gamey meat! Tastes awesome. Whale is a bit more like a combination of beef and tuna, if that makes sense.

They forgot Lorry. It’s really close to the royal castle.
Now I am hungry! I would try all the dishes out. I need to go for longer than a couple of days I think🤣
Whales are not extinct, there are a lot of species of whale.
Think he misspoke and meant to say endangered. While some species of whale are endangered, far from all are. They're all vulnerable though
Yeah, sorry about that 😅 I tend to do that, thanks @Henoik
