FIRST THOUGHTS ON NORWAY | American Reacts

[@faust82]

The cheese isn't strictly speaking cheese. After making regular cheese, there's the watery leftovers (whey). The brown cheese is then made from reducing it down, and the heat caramelizes those left over milk sugars.

[@andersgulowsen2814]

Ohh come on.. you forget .. What is probably considered as proper "brown cheese is made with goats milk" Hence we call it Goat cheese. Other than that correct.

[@faust82]

@@andersgulowsen2814 I never specified the type of milk. The original is a mix of cow and goat milk. Then you have those made from pure goat milk (Geitost) and pure cow milk (Fløtemysost).

[@andersgulowsen2814]

@@faust82 Yeah.. just fun facts :)

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

I really have never liked brown cheese, but I don't like prim either. Egentlig liker jeg ikke søte ting. Så kan folka over dammen oversette det siste her. :D

The street food market place is amazing, if a little noisy, but it's dark an cosy, so even if there's lots of people, it doesn't feel too crowded, and the food is generally amazing. On Sundays, lots of people go hiking, or just chill inside or in parks.

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

Who think of designs like that?? In the case of the Opera House it was "Snøhetta". It's actually pretty well known world wide. :)

[@rekleif]

That park is called Vigelandsparken and it's in an affluent part of Oslo. It's a must visit when in Oslo and my daughter has played in the same playground you can see in this video.

[@skst9357]

The Australians are strong and good parents. I am impressed.

The Norwegian Spirit: "Ut på tur, aldri sur!" (Out on a hike, never in a bad mood).

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

This year it was a bit unusual:regn in the south, warm/hot in the north. It is a great summer🤩

[@pappelg2639]

Welcome to Norway dude!

[@eivindkaisen6838]

If you want consistent and plentiful rainfall, Oslo is not for you. If you want a reasonably sized city, the answer is Bergen on the west coast: about 210 days a year and about 2,300 mm (about 7' 6''') a year. 9 am is a bit early for church; they tend to start at about 11 - but only about 1-2% attend a service. As the same indicatres, saunas are traditionally Finniish; and going from 80-90 C (175-190F) to 18-20 C (65F) or lower is, they say, refreshing. And you don't have to make a shower. (The one hw used was to get rid of the salty water.) The word "stavkirke" (stave chruch) has changed very little in the last 800-1000 years - the name refers to how it's constructed.. The figures and carvings in the church used to painted in bright colours - but they have fainted over time.

[@ssirfbrorsan]

COME ON! That's enough about Norway. I want to keep some for myself! Says a Swede who loves Norway.

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

🤣and a Norwegian agrees to that. But since they promote only one spot, there is plenty left to us.

[@HrHaakon]

The food hall is mostly Euro/Asian, so there's like Hungarian, Greek, Indian, Japanese, Mexican, and a few others. It is good, but it isn't the cheapest. But then again, that's to be expected.

[@espenvippen]

There are many varieties of brown cheese. Real goat cheese is made from whey from goat's milk. Gudbrandsdal cheese is made from whey from a mixture of cow's milk and goat's milk, while cream cheese is made only from whey from cow's milk. Some are browner than others, and the goat's cheese generally also has a sharper taste. Continue to react about Norway. 😀

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

My old barn and a couple of other buidings wa actually from the 1650's :)

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

Rain...we have rain. And snow. We have a lot of water over here. I follow US "prepper channels" and the one thing is enough water. Not a problem at all! :D

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

Prawn and shrimps are the same thing, "reker" in Norwegian. :)

[@sourcreamking]

You don't seem very angry... All the best from Norway

[@jeschinstad]

If you're planning on going to Norway, you should really think about buying currency now, because it's extremely cheap. It's like the whole country is half price from an American perspective. In fact, I would say that Norwegian currency is probably the best investment opportunity in the world right now.

[@granniejannieelwell1866]

Caramel and goat cheese my favorite ❤

[@granniejannieelwell1866]

What they pay for bathroom or parks?

[@mr.g5593]

Bathroom 👋🏻🫡🇳🇴

[@ahkkariq7406]

The park is free. Sauna about 20 dollars for 2-3 hours.

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

When do you have to pay to go to the restroom in Norway???usually if's for free, finding one is the difficult thing.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

This totally depends on where. Maybe in more rural places or at a rest stop, but in the cities, at least in Oslo, you have to pay unless you know a cafe/restaurant or a mall that doesn’t charge. Back in the day it was free, ur because so many abused this or junkies they started to charge people. I used to go to Glassmagasinet in Oslo, but they too started to charge money. I also used to know this store where I was previously an intern so I was allowed to use their employee bathroom…

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

But if you goto Norway, spend more time in Bergen and you Must visit the north of Artiv Circles, usual countryside is enough , not fancy Lofoten, it's crowded.

[@organicperoxide4619]

As a Viking you should 👍

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Viking is a VERB !!!! . Not a sort off people! Please get it right 🫣

[@oh515]

@@heidifarstadkvalheim4952 It is not unusual to use it as a noun in English. In fact, in English, it is mostly used as a noun today. Even in some Scandinavian languages, it is primarily used as a noun. Many words function as both verbs and nouns. Moreover, language is constantly evolving, with words gaining new meanings, especially through adoption into new languages. So, if it is just a verb in your language, it can be a noun in other languages.

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

@@oh515 I know- but it’s been used wrongly. And it’s been used to glorify scandinavian blond tall males- as a race, but that’s wrong. So the correct use is that “ they went in viking” when they took off over seas. It’s time to get it right

[@oh515]

@@heidifarstadkvalheim4952 I know, but as I mentioned; words adopt different meanings in different languages. No one is going viking today so it could be difficult without the historical context, but good luck with “changing the world” and foreign countries dictionary. I’m afraid we can’t claim ownership to words. For instance, “idiot” doesn’t originally mean stupid either, but I’m afraid we have to live with that understanding. I don’t agree that the noun Viking only refers to the blond Middle Ages Nordic men either, but it could of course be my personal preference.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Lol 1. vikings don’t exist anymore. 2. to be a Viking was a profession aka piracy not something you where as in a people or ethnic group. In Norwegian we would say: “å gå i viking…» 3. most Norse where farmers and fishermen… and as a Norwegian I don’t see how pillaging, looting, rape and murder is anything to be proud of?!

[@AnneLisbeth]

It’s not goat cheese. We call it brunost, brown cheese. I’m sorry but not sure how it’s made. It’s kind of sweet. Goat cheese has a another taste, more strong

[@goldeneagle256]

from this video you havent seen nothing yet lol. oslo are just like any other bigger city in euope. to see proper norway you should travel through the fjords and the mountains with the landscape on so on.

[@joppekim]

I know right. Oslo is a nice city but, well it's a city.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Well Norway is more than its stereotypical fjords. Tired of this. We have so much more than that. And mass tourism has actually started to become a problem destroying nature, infrastructure and so forth…

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

not that sweet when compared with American food. The jam/fruit are sweeter because of the sun not the amount of sugar in it

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

I have loved brown cheese all my life, but this new trend of mixing it with jam or waffles is not only heresy, it's also an example of poor taste - a poor understanding of which flavors should not be combined. Brown cheese is best enjoyed only when placed on freshly baked, white bread with a generous layer of real butter. What you watch in the video deserves prison time.
