Amerikanske diplomater prøver seg på norsk - julehilsen fra USAsambassade i Oslo 2013

Vi utfordret våre amerikanske diplomater til å uttale norske ord og
uttrykk relatert til julefeiringen. Vi syns resultatet ble ganske
morsomt :) Del gjerne videre! God jul!
We challenged our American diplomats to pronounce Norwegian sayings
that relate to Christmas. We think the result was pretty funny :)
Please feel free to share! Happy Holidays!
Here is an unofficial translation of the words for our non-Norwegian viewers:
Kålrabistappe - Mashed rutabaga, typically enjoyed with the Christmas meal.
Dompap - Bullfinch, a type of bird.
Dorullnisse - "Toilet roll santa" - A homemade "santa decoration" made with a toilet roll.
Marsepangris - "Marzipan pig", a common Norwegian holiday candy.
Risengrynsgrøt - Rice porridge, enjoyed by many Norwegians during the holidays.
Svineribbe - Pork breast, eaten by many on Christmas night.
Størknet ribbefett - Coagulated fat from pork (we just included this because it's weird)
Fjøsnisse - A santa who lives in the barn (part of popular Christmas tales)
Sprøstekt svor - Pork rind, an important part of the Norwegian Christmas meal.
Medisterkake - A type of sausage included in most Christmas dinners.
Steketermometer - Cooking thermometer
Pepperkakemann - Gingerbreadman
Vasselina Bilopphøggers - A band that did a popular show about Christmas.
God Jul - Merry Christmas
