Now that I have learned much more about Norway's history and politics I think it is time for a more light hearted reaction from an American's point of view. I am very interested to hear about what the typical Norwegian person eats for breakfast because to be honest I have quite literally no idea what that might be. I'm not sure is a standard Norway breakfast is very similar to that of an American or in some way different. If you enjoy my reaction feel free to leave a like, comment, or subscribe for more videos like this!
Bread virtually everywhere outside of the US have a lot less sugar in it than typical American bread. A lot of it is also made with various whole grains resulting in a much healthier and more nutritious option than plain white bread. You won't find many grocery stores in Norway that doesn't have 20-30 different kinds of freshly baked bread.
Bread is the one thing many people forego saving money on, because they know the value of a good bread that gives good energy and is, well, healthy and good.
Norwegian mayonnaise has absolutely nothing in common with American mayo
In what way would they differ? I got a bottle of Hellmann's mayo in my fridge right now - and it is quite similar to what Mills make. In fact I think I prefer Hellmann's (which is an American brand).
Liver pate/paste is amazing, even kids love it.
It does sound disgusting when explained, but I can promise you that it's way better than it sounds.
The dialects form and branch off by isolated villages and towns speaking their variant of Norwegian, it's only in recent times where dialects are that heavily affected, even in their originating towns.
As far as I know liver pate is eaten all over Europe, at least in many countries. Considering American culture has European roots it's strange they don't eat liver pate. It is really tasty. Especially on bread baked on whole grain.
@@ahkkariq7406 they most definitely both have and eat paté 😅 that goes for organs in general aswell😛 there's no way all the different meat products only use cleancut meat, then throw away all the other nutritional parts🤪 some may not know that they eat it, some may not want to know that they eat it, but they do eat it and it does exist😂
liver pâté is actually very common Norwegian food and it’s quite delicious too
yeah but majones is required
@@klauslunde No don't do that
@@the_slurp_kinghansen5936 yes it gives good taste doont smeer it only stripes
@@klauslunde Still it tastes like a goat threw up on it
Mayo is C tier on liver pâté. The real winner is lingonberry jam and maybe a bit of fresh cracked pepper. S tier combo.
I found it interesting how no one mentioned "Prim" or "HaPå"
very popular in Norway
Primost is a Norwegian cheese. The slightly brown cheese is made from cow's milk and has a soft spreadable texture. Cream is added towards the end of the process. The semi-sweet taste is derived from caramelizing the milk sugars of the whey as it is made.
HaPå is basically like a mix of chocolate and karamell, the best way to describe the taste is it's like a mix of both
very tasty, specially on fresh bread, preferably toasted, it comes from a place in Norway called "Hamar"
I also watched the dinner video, and one favorite that's popular in Norway, specially among elders is called "Fisk i shell" (Fish in shell)
basically it's shells, (that looks like a Scrumptious Shell) that you heat up in the oven, cook some potatoes, mix vegetables in a white sauce with fish pudding that's cut into small pieces like dices
very yummy, highly recommend trying it, if you haven't
Liver pate is a good source for iron. Children usually love it, and its good for them. Cheese is also healthy, its got loads of «good stuff» in it. And the bread in Norway is not the bread that you are used to.
Surprised no-one mentioned mackrel in tomato sauce! That is also a favourite of many! 😄
They forgot mackerel in tomato sauce with mayonnaise, delicious and gulping for the rest of the day hihi
You don't know what you are missing, Norwegian leverpostei is fantastic !
Leverpastej is common in Scandinavia.
8:32 Yeah, when they say " a slice of bread", they are talking about an open sandwich (or usually more than one), with butter and some sort of spread on it. Like ham, salami, or other salt meats, jams, cheeses (soft and hard), the now infamous liverpaté (which is very nice, and as you mentioned, quite healthy, rich in iron), or a slew of other spreads. We often put some "greens" ontop on the cheese or meat, like cucumber, or strips of bell peppers or radishes. Many people have fish-related spreads, like "macrel in tomato-sauce", "sprat in tomato-sauce" (or olive oil), caviar (the cheap version, not the black or red ones the fancy restaurants serve), smoked salmon, crab-paté, or the completely misnomered "shrimp salad", which is a few shrimp and a piece of beet or two, in a tub of mayo (What, it's is obvious that I'm not a fan? ) :D
The comments in this film makes Norwegian breakfast seem kinda samey, but there are endless variants of spread (and ditto for variants of bread, rolls etc) for our open sandwiches, and we often take a packed lunch of such sandwiches to work or school.
A few small comments. Norwegian bread tends to be high fibre and often high grain as well. In comparison, most bread in the US that I have seen while visiting friends there wouldn't really qualify as anything else than -very- fine bread. We generally don't use sugar in our bread either. Goat cheese and brown cheese is the same product: A cheese made by a caramelized blend of goat milk and cow milk that has a strong flavor and a sweet taste. There are several varieties of this cheese, some with a very low goat milk content (mild in taste) and some with a much higher goat milk content (stronger taste) with 4 or 5 different blends depending on the ratio between the two kinds of milk. Liver pate is a spread well worth trying, especially the varieties with a high degree of liver used. It's not at all as gross as you would imagine (but you would be well advised from attempting to make homemade liver pate if you have a weak stomach).
Brown cheese is also maid of only cow milk, which I prefer. I think the one with goat milk is too strong👍
incorrect
The standard US bread doesn't qualify as bread here. It has so many additives, many of which are banned in the EU, that it doesn't share ingredients with bread any longer.

Breakfast *is* super important.
But the stuff Americans eat for breakfast is what the rest of us eat as deserts when we want to treat ourselves.
Our cereals is things like oat and various seeds, fruits and nuts, maybe cornflakes, not the huge amounts of sugar found in US cereals.
As for ham and eggs, yeah, we share that with the Brits and you guys, although it's less common here.
As for waffles and pancakes?
Again, that's deserts, not breakfasts.
Cool that the subtitle has the dialect written as spoken, then written in correct Norwegian, and then the English translation.
I think a lot of Norwegians are taught that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that brown bread with at least 50% whole grain is healty. I my self do IF and eat low carb, and usually skip breakfast.
In Norway we have two official languages: Norwegian and Sami. Sami is the language of the Sami-people (indigenous people), mainly living in the northern parts of the country. The Norwegian language have two formal forms: Bokmål and Nynorsk, and all kids in Norway learn both forms, but there is a variety in different counties and cities which is the main form and the side-form. Official documents and forms to fill out is written in both Bokmål and Nynorsk, so we can choose the one we like, ex. when we shall wote.
We also have a lot of different dialects, and you can roughly devide them in to 4 groups due to geography, but there is really a big bunch. We mostly understand all dialects, but some are kind of tricky😅
Trøndelag dialect is easy to understand but there are many that can be difficult to understand. In general you can say that each little town/ hamlet had their own dialect or at least each valley, and there are many. The vallies that were used more as thurough faires have been much more watered down than the areas who had little contact with the world around it. A lot av kids program in Norway are dubbed in different Norwegian dialects if the original language for instance is English. Kids programs in Scandinavian languages, Swedish and Danish, are often broadcast in the original language so the kids will learn that too. 😊
I think most of Europe eats bread fairly regularly, but it's not the same as US bread, as I think it was Subway when coming to Europe, had to argue with countries as their bread didn't classify as bread in Europe, but as cake, due to the amount of sugar in it.
Hi Talyler! There are some differences between Norwegian and American breakfast. Firstly, you often eat what we call white bread, we mostly eat brown bread, which is much healthier than white bread. Also, I don't know a single family that makes pancakes for breakfast. But breakfast cereal is quite common, and eggs are mentioned here, it is usually hard-boiled, we also use an egg divider and put it on top of the bread, for example with caviar. Liver pâté is very common, but often with a topping of snake cucumber or pickle. Many drink milk for breakfast and or juice. I also know many people eat strawberry jam or other berry jam. Semolina porridge and porridge rice are also quite common with either berries or raisins in them! Unfortunately, it has become more and more common among young people to skip breakfast, simply because they love to sleep as long as possible in the morning. Schools often start between 08.00 and 09.00 !
Norwegian here. I eat A LOT of liver paté on bread, with majo and cucumber or tomatoes on top.
Bread is a very typical European thing. There are some significant differences when it comes to bread culture between Europe and the US. Johnny Harris recently did a video on it that a lot of folks have been reacting to; might be worth checking out. "How the U.S. ruined bread", it's not Norway-specific like most of your videos have been, but I'd still recommend it.
But if I were to recommend something Norway specific, perhaps one about Norwegian prisons? The Norwegian prison model is very much different from how the US does it. The one you'll find videos on if you look it up would be Halden Maximum Security Prison. Now maximum security probably invokes a certain image in your mind... I very much guarantee it will be nothing like what you're thinking, ha ha.
Another recommendation which I've already seen in your comments a lot is of course Geography Now's episode on Norway.
You should react to Geography now! Norway. These videos are always so interesting!
About the dialects: I don't know about all European countries, but a lot of them have many very different dialects, that are sometimes hard to understand to others from the country.
Norway standard breakfast is:
Week days:
2 slices of bread with a spread on top and a glass of milk.
Cereal or oatmeal.
On weekend days:
if family enjoy a fancy breakfast, cooked or scrambled egg, maybe some spread on baguettes.
Liver pâté (leverpostei) is really good, it's a very common spread in Norway and it's popular with kids as well as adults. I tend to eat it with a little bit of mayo on top :) Had it twice today (though not for breakfast) :P
And yes, we eat a lot of bread here (but our bread is far less sweet than what I hear american bread is) with various spreads, like cheese, deli meats/salami, liver pâté, mackerell in tomatosauce (also a popular choice for kids) or jam. If people have time they might boil or fry themselves eggs to put on top. Obviously there are more choices, but those are the more common ones.
In regards to dialects, Norwegian dialects are VERY diverse (comes from the way people were so spread out in the olden days where you more or less stayed where you were born and communities had very little contact with each other - often due to being separated by fjords, mountains, etc, so the dialects grew to become very different over time). And no, it's not just different cities/regions, you don't need to go all that far before the dialect changes. I'd say we have probably hundreds of dialects if we were to really count it up, some of which can be grouped together due to similarities, sure, but there will be local variations within that grouping.
Natives don't tend to have much issues with most dialects (perhaps the occasional one if the speaker speaks really fast or use a lot of local words/phrases), however people who speak Norwegian as their second or third language might have more trouble understanding all the dialects. I had a French flatmate who was learning Norwegian and I had to more or less convert to Oslo-speak for the first year whenever talking to him to make sure he could understand me (I did revert back after that year and he learned to understand my dialect). It's not just a difference in tone, it's different pronounciations of words, or even different words for the same thing. Like the word for "funny" can be anything from "morsom" to "artig" to "tidig" to "løye" depending on which dialect you are speaking (there are probably more that I cannot even think of). My dialect loves to shorten things down, like full sentences becoming two to three syllables.
Liver paté is actually pretty good, especially with pickled cucumber on bread. It is pretty normal in the nordic countries.
One of the reasons why there is a ton of dialects in Norway is because there is a lot of mountains and fjords. It made it hard to travel between places in the old days. Because people did not travel or interact with other places that much dialects got good base for growth. The difference between dialects can be so that it is its own language compared to other dialects. Basics language is there, but the tone, pitch and many words is totally different.
19:39 yes, there are many differences between dialects in Norway.
If you are at the eatern side of the country the differences are there, but not at the same variability.
Here the landscape are more flat than anywhere else.
With this I mean a part that is referred to as østfold (but has been incorporated into a larger region called Viken). Here you can hear differences but overall the way people speak has more in common. Oslo is what you can say is the region and city people speak more or less "Bokmål" and often seem to pronounce words like written (this is a simplification)while regions around in the østfold area will have their own differences in dialects.
This all changes when you move over to the western part (Vestlandet) here you will have differences so huge that you can be in one place the other day with their dialect and ways to talk, and then the other day the town over you will be met with something quit different.
This is because vestlandet is the most rugged and mountainous region in the country.
Over hundreds off years villages and towns spread over this region was quit simply isolated from being able to regularly visit other towns or even the town down around the fjord. And this part of norway speaks what is called Nynorsk (New norwegian). The guy who wanted to reinvent Norways language (Ivar Aasen) spent alot of time in this region as they spoke more to the true old norwegian or norse as it called than the eastern parts as we was under Danish rule for a long time. Simply explained: Bokmål is what Danish have been evolved into. It's Danish writing pronounced in Norwegian.
Nynorsk is what norway was supposed to be using. It's a mixture of dialects that was formalized and created as the new norwegian language. The language free from Denmark.
And you can probably understand this isolation by already have seen the videos from beautiful Norway. Yeah, that's not all of norway like I've seemed to understand from some foreigners.
When you go up north it changes from new norwegian to Bokmål again, but here they have a bigger variety in dialects..
So I'd you want to know about dialects vestlandet has the most isolated ones, østlandet has most in common, and the Noth just did whatever it did. They are the ones that uses the Æ in everything and yrhows out alot over letters.
In the north jeg (meg/I) now is jæ and Æ, while on the vestlandet it is e or jeg.
You know what?
There si a bunch of language channels our there talking about this and geography now has one good video also.
The best part actually to learn about norway geographically and fonetically is to read about it from well established factual pages.
You would be able to read about this on norwegian based sites as well since your computer should be able to translate everything for you to English with one click.
Explanation of how we are and how we behave today can be answered with explanations from 300 or 800 years ago and others not.
I've seen somewhere else, that the bread in the US is different than the bread elsewhere. The sugar content in the US is sky high, so the bread could almost be considered a cake, and not bread. I've had continental breakfast in the US, and I almost got diabetes on the spot.
Polarbröd is not just a company name, it is also a subgroup of yeasted flatbreads with slightly sweet taste. Most popular in Northern Scandinavia. Well established food item in our bread culture.
The foods they are talking about are very traditional and kids love it.
Like makrell with tomato saus, caviar with egg, or just caviar with bread. Oatmeal.The type of eggs they are talking about is boiled eggs
here is some of my combination as a norwegian
Bread with Cheese (Jarlsberg)
Bread with hard boiled egg and kaviar (roe)
Bread with brown cheese (brunost)
Bread with soft bacon cheese in tube
Bread with liver pate (with cucumber slices)
Bread with egg, bacon and some ketchup
Bread with mackerel in tomato
Crisp Bread with the combinations above
bread here is whole wheat bread, not the fine wheat bread like in the us (we call that loff)
The most world famous liver dish may be the french dish Foie gras. It is goose liver pate, and is concidered a delicacy in most of the world.
That’s actually a disgusting thing, animal cruelty! It’s not that common in Norway
@@lillm6874 , I agree. But it's still famous even if you like it or not.
@@Un4Given71 I see disgusting rich people on tv eat it🤮 I don’t support it, but you are right, it’s famous around the world, but I think mostly among rich people 🙄
Bread and often cereals have way way way less sugar than what the us have. And leverpostei (liver pate) is soooooo amazing. I hate real liver, but liver pate does not taste like liver. ♥️ I love bread, but I'm currently eating oatmeal with fresh strawberries each Day now. I'd say that the most common Norwegian breakfast, is some sort of bread or crisp bread with various spread and such, like liver pate, cheese, salami, mackerell in tomato sauce, Brown cheese ♥️ etc.
In my experince in norway this was not necessarily true. I think you are underestimating the amount of grain cerials America has. America does have a lot of sugar cerials but Bran and grain cerials are pretty much just as common. I found it to be about the same mix of cerials if I am honest though with different varieties albiet in norway more things with sugar didn't have sugar in it. There actually may be some questionable problems with this too as diet sugar isn't necessarily better than sugar but still. Much more ability to have access to brunost though lol xd so that was always a benefit
@8:40 its not ONLY a bread we eat :D its tasty butter on it, and nice tasty toppings, of different kind,, and,, you should taste LEVERPOSTEI ;) its very tasty !!!
the fact you never heard of cheese with cucumber just baffles me :O thats 1 of the most common thing here in norway i feel
Same in Sweden. I had to listen twice to that to make sure I heard it right. :-)
I live in Canada and my family loves liver pate, especially my kids. However, where I live eating organs is very common, along with other animals like beaver, moose, bear, lynx, lamb, bison, porcupine, etc. Eating different slices of bread with cheeses and meats for breakfast is also more common than cereal.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, due to a lot hours last time you ate.
Bread is almost the national food in Norway. Its eaten for breakfast, they make sandwiches with whatever topping they like, and take their lunch with them to work, and dinner like 4-5pm, and when you get a bit hungry before going to bed, we eat more bread, with our fav. topping.
liver pate is awsome. especially with cucomber and majonese
I am here in the US eating cereal now 😊
When my boys were growing up, we always did a family breakfast on Sunday. Everyone would help cook a part of it, and then we would all eat together.
Bread is the most eaten breakfast and lunch. Liver paté is very common. The Norwegian bread has very little sugars, and its usually brown. But i think its tame with the usual toppings. Brown bread and not white is the common thing. The dialect is different in every city allmost. Some is harder then other.
Typical breakfast when I was in college: cold left over pizza and a frosty breakfast beer. You betcha!
😂
You should absolutely try liver patê if you come here some day. The oven baked ones are amazing!
The dialects here vary a lot more than in the US. You must remember that the US is 'only' 250 years old, and people trravelled all over the country.
Our dialects are from way back when people lived in smaller and more closed communities.
I had bread with lever paste today and I love it!😊
Watch some videos about Sweden too!
I promise, liver paté is actually quite tasty. Despite what it sounds likte :D Put some cucumber on that and it's quite the treat.
And mayonnaise 👍
19:26 yes. But usually we understand eachother fine with a little focus and a clarification or two
As a norwegian-american who can serve as a cross border I feel like the most important thing to remember is that liver patte doesn't like taste like the liver right out of your meat. It kinda has a nicecreamy texture and goes on a lot of sandwiches and with cheeses and bread and similar quick meals
I was shocked to hear you say that no one over there eats organs and that you never heard of patè and thought that cant be right🙈 but a quick Google search and one of the top results was a NY Times article from 1996 reporting on how popular patè had become in USA 👌
It's funny you pointed out the bird, but not the fact he is in Norway wearing a NFL hoodie 🤔
Loving the videoes!
Liver pate, mayo and cucumber is amazing. also do a little fish oil and you will never get sick!
Liver pate is DELICIOUS! And incredibly healthy for you!
The girl saying "A piece of bread" isn't saying that she's just having a piece of bread. We don't always say that we have stuff on it. If you say a piece of bread for breakfast here, you are saying you had that with stuff on it.
12:30 when she mentions bread here there is a bit of a bad translation.
The translation said coarse bread.., it should have been better translation there. Her point was the quality of the bread.
She is saying we learn from childhood the importance of full grains bread vs white bread.
I’ll never forget travelling on the road in the US, and some motels only had doughnuts with loads of sugar for breakfast 😅
liver pate is nice I ate it a lot as a kid, and while I don't eat it much anymore I still enjoy it when I do
Trust me Bread with liver postei and mayo is delish so is salami with mayo :D
Liver is was traditionally consumed in northern Europe not out of love for the food, but out of necessity. Rain or overcast is much much more likely, so you get so little sunlight, and crops usually have a hard time giving you all your vitamin D unless you're really well off, so getting enough to not develop issues, specifically rickets, is really important. Liver, but specificially cod's liver is the main reason why fish is so ingrained in the culture, but also why there was so immense battles for water control in europe
Im Canadian and we also have liver patê for "happy hour", it's really good. One of my favourite spreads to eat with cheese lol.
Leverpostei (liver patè) is just a spreadable variant of liverwurst - only difference is whether you slice it or spread it on your sliced bread. Personally I prefer spreading it, but right now I'll settle for slicing it as that's what's available here.
Leverpostei is extremely healthy and is good 😎🤗❤️🇧🇻
The Norwegian mayo is not your typical white Hellmann's, but is yellow and has more taste pairing it nicely with salami, bread and to top it off a few slices of cucumber. When it comes to the leverpostei(liver patė) it is either bland, tasteless and boring or indeed gross depending on the brand.
I'm almost always a little bit hungry, I never eat to the point that I'm "full", I just eat until I'm "un-hungry". So between meals (that can be one to three a day) I mostly go around being halv hungry. :)
Liver pâté and caviar are both standard foods for all ages here. They are relatively cheap and they do not taste "gross" due to the processes it goes trough, although for someone totally unfamiliar it may sound weird.
I can send you some liver paste/lever postei and also mackerel in tomato to try on a piece of bread :)
When I used to eat solid foods for breakfast, back when I could be bothered to make breakfast (I now drink a meal replacement shake for breakfast instead of sandwiches,) I used to have 4 slices of bread, one with Nugatti Chocolate spread, another with Shrimpsalad spread, a third with Raspberry Jam, and the fourth with Kaviar spread (Not the rich-people's Kaviar, but the average day cheap and common Kaviar). As for the Leverpostei, while it isn't one of my favorite spreads, it is by no means horrible tasting, in fact, if you tried it, you would probably either like it, or simply be ok with it like "Eh, it's not bad, but it's not good either, I'd eat it if there was nothing else to eat no problem."
None of them mentioned anything about makrell i tomat (mackerel in tomato). That is also very common Norwegian food.
We never eat bread without anything. Often with butter, salt meat as salami or slised meat. Liverpaté, cheese or jam. Serial is ok if its healthy. Egg and bacon in weekends. Oatmeal or boiled egg. Juice, milk or water. Coffee as a treat.
It would be fun to see you google norwegian breakfast on bread, and common ways to eat bread in norway. Spreads on bread etc.
Leverpostej on rybread is almost the most common for lunch in Denmark. Its greeeeeaaaaat
The brown cheeze, Brunost (Mesost in Swedish) is way more special than Liver Pate (Leverpastej in Swedish), the liver pate is kind of bland, doesn't taste like liver at all, but the brown cheeze has a very distincive taste, a bit sweet but also salty and ... maybe gamey?
In England, we often have pate, sometimes made with liver, sometimes with pork. It's really a French thing; they eat it a great deal.
I enjoy offal - which you call 'organs'. Liver needs careful cooking - boiled is dreadful - but If I have it I cut lamb's liver into thin slices, roll it in flour, and stir-fry for a maximum of 8 minutes. I enjoy kidneys - again lamb's are best - and even heart. A real delicacy are sweetbreads, which are certain glands like the thymus and the pancreas. I still haven't found a palatable way to eat tripe.
In US liver pate is usually sold as Liverwurst or Braunshcweiger which are the German versions of the same dish. Whether eaten as a breakfast, lunch or snack depends on the person and culture.
You are really missing out on the liver pate. You can't really compare it to your own experiences with fried or grilled liver. The recipe of liverpaste makes it very different from this.
Liver pâté and cheese layered on a slice of bread is really good. 🥰😍🥰 Liver paste is also healthy, you get plenty of iron that the body needs.
No liver pate is not discusting, Its healthy and pretty good on bread.
There is actually a research on what spreads/cold cuts Norwegians would choose if they could only eat one spread (it's dairy organisation so you might take it with a grain of salt) Percentage of Norwegians who would choose a given srepad: white/yellow cheese: 28%, boxed mackerel in tomato sauce: 11%, brown cheese (sweet): 10%, boiled egg: 7%, jam: 7%, ham: 5%, liver pate: 4%, cured ham/sausage: 4%, salami: 4%, salmon: 3%, fried egg: 3%. Now in my opinion there are too many categories for meat cold cuts. A lot of people who eat cheese would do it together with a meat cold cut also.
The dialects vary a lot, but we all understand each other
in Leverpostei there is alot of iron which is really good for you
My 3 year old eats almost exclusively liver pate for breakfast. It's really good lol, but I understand the skepticism ;)
An example of dialect: In order to speak about yourself in Norwegian, the word "I" is called: Jeg, eg, æg, æ, e, i ei (and those are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head.
You should really make a taste test of Norwegian candy, liver paté, mackrel in tomatoe (which is also a popular thing on bread here) and brown cheese. Maybe someone can send you some Norwegian candy and typical Norwegian food like mentioned above and you could make a taste video on YT? I could do it, but I dont know where to send it..
You should come over and try out some of the things you make a programme about. You are very welcome
leverpostei is very good here! and mayonnese in norway is so good. u gotta come visit norway soon 😆
😂 Lever? Not as a meat piece but as liver paste spread on a piece of bread, butter and “lever-postei”
I noticed not much sweets like a honey bun or other snack cakes like we Americans do… And I was also surprised in Norway, none had any fish or seafood for breakfast…
Bread cheese and cucumber is the tastiest thing ever
U know there is a huge different between european bread and American bread?
Liver paste with some mayo and some pickles on top, yum.
There's actually a really good video comparing US bread to European bread, which might explain why it's much more popular as a breakfast food here.
(in short: Our bread is just a LOT healthier than US bread)
Pancakes and waffles are not considered bread. More like a dessert or a cake.
When they say "have a slice of bread" they mean with toppings, of course.
We just don't bother saying "a slice of bread with toppings", because no one eats slices of bread without topping.
It would be like asking to purchase "a cell phone with reception", get it? :P
PS: If there was one topping I had to choose for the rest of my life, for bread, it's leverpostei, or "liver pâtè" if you want to be all fancy about it. It's godlike amazing and it makes you strong, if you want to be weak then go ahead, strong men eat leverpostei.
Doves and seagulls are really troublesome here in Norway. They come and literally pick the food out of your hand.
I think Norway has the best bread in the world. New baked bread 💪🏻
No...just no. The bread you get in central Europe is better - Germany, Austria, etc.
A lot of Norwegian bread (kneip) is an affront to humanity and should be considered a war crime.
@@jarls5890 kneip is the cheapest bread you can get but also yes because the big bakery in the south of Norway sucks get local bread and it is much better even when it is kneip.
@@havtor007 That's what I said. "A lot of.." (not all).
Any sensible person would buy bakery baked bread.
STILL - the selection and quality of bread in the countries I mentioned is superior. Even their cheapest bread - is better than Norwegian bread. Norwegian bread is "nothing special".
@@jarls5890 well last time I was in Germany the bread was worse then in norway.
And the bread that was decent was of the same quality or worse then in norway so I have my doubts on what you say.
The selection was also nothing to write home about other then in a local bakery but if you go in to a local bakery in norway it is not that much of a difference.
@@havtor007 Go to your local baker tomorrow and ask them to see their selection of blackbreads. If you are lucky they may have...one.
Then ask them to see the selection of small breads. You will probably get to see two..."rundstykke" and baguette. And if you are lucky - they MAY have bagel.
Do the same in Germany/Austria - and you will have many more - from Brezel to Semmel.
My wife is Austrian - and I spent a lot of time in Austria and southern Germany. There is no competition.
Also - Germany bread is world renowned for their quality and wide selection. Norwegian bread is not.
Fresh bread,with cheese red pepper,and liver pate with cuecumber,bounus brown cheese with rasberry😁
In French cuisine, pâté is super luxurious, here in Norway it's what we feed the kids for breakfast. ;D
Leberwurstbrot. Famous in Germany, Austria and in Norway.. didn't know that. The fine spread is better than the thicker .. it is tasty. Okay try it .than talk about it. I would also try Peanutbutter Jelly (What is that ? Sounds like TOO much sweet on sweet.) Coffee or Tea and Bread with Butter and Marmelade, Strudel... okay that is also sweet. Cereals (Not that sugary bullshit you call Cereals.. the Corns are the real deal) are good. Bread is a common normal thing in Europe. Toast is not real Bread... it is a Toast or untoasted its a Sandwich. Only baked Bread is real Bread.
