The Brown Cheese: When making brown sauce for your meat balls etc, add 3-4 slices of brown chees and a spoon of "lingonberry jelly" in the sause. I promise it will bring the sause up to a heavenly level. P.s. Nothing beats a fresh made waffel with a tad of butter and 2 slices of brown cheese (Fløtemysost) and perhaps some stirred mulberry. I would charaterize the brown cheese as more of a dessert type cheese, even if it's used as a spread on a peace of bread.

The only thing I got from this is that you're prone to neuroticism, which makes me wonder why you came here. To reduce neuroticism, I recommend the following (and yes I now consider myself a licensed therapist, or at least as well as an american deserves): - 8 cigarettes per day - 4 beers per week - No reading or watching the news - No usage of social media - Taking walks on the mountain, and trips to sea - Socializing normally - Stop going to crazy people places (like church) I'm surprised Huldra wasn't in your top bad things about Norway. She's real, you know!

We lived thru the aftermath, of Tjernobyl..

It is mych better . If you only use whole milk. No water..

someone give me a timestamp of when she eats the sheep head

Is that in Stavanger?

Hello from Philadelphia! I just bought some Ski Queen chees and tried it with Biscoff cookies. It is very good

This looks amazing! Never heard about this place. There is a nice park in Bergen called Aboretet that has a nice little beach and a flower garden. But this is beyond. Sweet!

Looks like amazing food🤩 in stavanger?

Ooh sorry to offend any americans but pop tart is not even good. I spat it out, litterally. I was on holiday in the US and was so excited to finally try them as that’s a famous snack.. 🫣 Junior mints (and those with caramel) and turtles are great though😍. Godiva chocolate was also pretty good. Sour patch kids👍

Aahh already dreading the long winter😅. I’ll enjoy the fall for now.

Beautiful sweater and you sound legit to me!

Aww! Hi Heather😊 it’s Jess from Alaska. Great to see you’re doing some videos!

Not my first pick, but after you tasting all the different cheeses including brown cheese, I'll take your word it's good.😂

Your narration is almost unintelligible.

Looks delicious

Haven't been there myself, but have heared only good things about it. On my list...

This presenter kind of made an interesting point. In the US, kids have active shooter drills but not on Norway. Yet she seems to deride their methods of preparedness. In Portland Oregon, the kids have earthquake drills. I have radiation detection devices, haz mat suits, periodically do Radon detection tests, lhave plastic sheeting and duct tape, each have a backup generator, filters so I can get water from the river, go bags and semi auto rifles for everyone in my family so why is any bit of Norwegian preparedness considered a negative? Seems to me like what a reasonable and prudent person would do.

Vinmonopolet was made in 1922, when it was clear that prohibition failed. Norway had prohibition from 1916 to 1922. Quite a bit of leading members of the prohibition activist in the US were of Norwegian or Scandinavian decent. Most bomb-shelters were used as storage from c1990 to 2022. They were built because of the Cold War. In the US you could "duck and cover" with Bert the Turtle.

Electric floor heating is really expensive these days. But houses are constructed differently. Nowadays water born heating is getting more common and when using a heat pump the electricity bill be cut in half or even less.

You could save 50% on vegetables and fruit if you use those smaller shops owned by immigrant families.

You don’t need to call “Legevakt”. You can just show up if you feel unsafe. In Oslo you also have private alternatives.

People don’t steal too much in Norway because we have a better safety net. No one lives on the street because they have to. Same for the other Scandinavian countries. This affects the mentality.

Real akevit should be spiced with caraway,- the myth is that the alcohol and spice should help with digesting the heavy meals.

A stop sign is always a sign someone did a really bad job planning an intersection.

You're just scared of radon and the other things because you have never had a chance to be properly educated about it, like we do in schools when we're young. So it comes as a shock. The precautions against radon is there exactly so that we won't have to worry. Only about 10 percent of houses have radon levels that require some kind of protection against it. Smoking is way more dangerous than radon.

Jarlsberg is one of my favorites! My local costco sells it for a very good price, so I use it a lot in my mac and cheese. I had brown cheese for the first time on a trip to Norway. Nobody told me what i was supposed to eat it with, they just watched me waiting for my reaction. I did NOT eat it the right way and my inital reaction was "yuck!" But now that i know how to eat it properly, I love it!

US plumber from Los Angeles here. The floating toilets are very common in Norway, especially in most apartments/modern homes or hotels. In the US we don’t typically install those units because the drain systems we are taught to install for toilets are set into the floor and in order to change the style to make it float we have to move the plumbing as well as do alterations to the framing in the wall to be able to create that effect. In other words Americans are cheap and just want the bare minimum that will be easy to repair in the future where the Europeans are a bit more flamboyant about their fixtures (not sure why). If anything malfunctions with your toilet you can bet you will have to call a plumber to be able to fix it however most of those units are new and will last a few years before you have to do so. If I missed anything or you have another question/comment let me know I want to move to Norway one day you’re so lucky! 😊

I live in Norway 🇳🇴

takk❤

Det er sååå godt🤑

You can have your bills straight into your bank and just approve them there; there is no need for the KID and all that nonsense; it's all done and dusted.

Used this when i lived in Florida back in '82-'86, had it at the Puplix grocery chain...

The may 17 thing just sounds like bad service, or bad people skills to me.

Hi Heather! Thanks for your interesting content! It gives me a new perspective on things, since I come from Holland, and have been living in Norway for 12 years. You have noticed diffenrent things than me, haha! Also, makes me wonder how they pay bills in the US, why does that need to be so complicated?? Oh, and I think you have encountered summer-Norwegians, they are a complete diffent kind of people than winter-Norwegians, always happy and in for a chat. So please be prepared for the winter ones (You typically don't talk to your neighbors from october to april) 😜

Du er jo kjempeflink!

The shops closing early is not just a Norwegian thing. It’s in many countries especially in Northern Europe. In southern Europe they often have siestas, closed for several hours in the middle of the day. Groceries and general shops close at 5pm on weekdays, supermarkets close normally at 11 pm on weekdays

Looks like so much fun

Ah, yes. Vaulen. We had some college partis there..... More beautiful beaches are Hellestø, Orre, Bore, Brusand and Ogna. At Brusand there are still remnants of Hitler's Atlantic Wall, like "Hitler Teeth", designed to stop AFVs (tanks).... Had hoped for one on the "Gla'mat Festival", but alas. Last week of July there will a similar festival in the eastern part, just by Tou Scene....

I’m looking to move to Norway but the raydon this is scaring me, what are the chances of getting cancer simply from living in Norway?

Believe me, the Stavanger area is mostly flat - but this being Norway, you do not have to go far to encounter one of the most impressive landscapes you will ever encounter: Prekestolen (the Pulpit Rock) is the end-all, be-all, except somewhere else in Norway you have the "Trolltunga" (the Troll-tongue), an even more impressive natural phenomenon. Best of all, wherever you go you will only meet lovely and friendly people - that will speak perfect English if needed!

Du er flik😊 Ur Are good😊

The thing is, that shops when all are open 24/7 don't really sell more as if they are only 10/6 open, but they have to have way more employees and they maybe need to work more hours, and in the end they will mostly get payed worse and the prices for the customers are higher. So in the end its worse for everyone because some people just can't plan their week to go grocery shopping on friday or saturday instead of sunday. Also .. americans always do as if they are sooo damned religious but they don't even know their bible even though they do as if they read it every day, else they wouldn't be always so "shocked" about all those "no work on sunday" rules _______________________________________________________________________________________________ "Exodus 35:2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death."

I relate to this a little but I have a non American accent I can't seem to place but I can carry somewhat decent convo but I have no idea how silly I sound to Norwegians lol

Jeg snakker Norsk jeg kan mye🎉

the tradition for the rice porridge (risgrøt) is also to save the leftover for desert , as rice cream (riskrem) with strawberry sauce , after christmas dinner. You take the porridge and wisk whole cream into it.

I grew up in uganda, and I used to take myself at school since I was 4. When I reached years old, I moved to another school that was 3/4 miles away. And this normal in uganda. Peace just started taking their kids to school recently, and most kids like going to school by themselves.

lol I thought this was normal 😅

I've never had pastries with a knife and fork. Am I doing it wrong as a Norwegian?
