As a working Chef and as a home cook, I always revel in the wonderful dishes that Andres Vistad brings to the United States through his cooking programs. I’m a big fan of New Scandinavian Cooking. That was a wonderful television series that really showcased some of the best and more unique dishes from the many Scandinavian regions. I was very upset when my local stations stopped broadcasting episodes in my area but luckily there’s always KZbin and the internet. It always amazes me how different people from different parts of the world can come up with similar dishes that are not necessarily influenced by one another. In this case we have a Scandinavian style taco which is very similar to the Mexican taco. I’m fortunate enough to have access to almost all of the ingredients shown and I definitely plan on making these Norwegian tacos for my family. Thank you so much for sharing this video! Cheers!

The craziest norwegian taco is made at christmas. Where I live we cure whole ribs of lamb and leave them for 6-8 weeks. It is cut along the bones, rinsed for 12-24 hours and steamed for 2-3 hours untill tender. On top of the lamb we put raw and cured sausages towards the end. Then salt&pepper a pork belly for 3 days before slowroasting it. We leave the crackling on. It crisps (even puffs) up at the end. Red cabbage, sauerkraut, boiled potatoes,mashed turnips, mustard, porkfat, gravy, lefse (tortilla). My granddad used to put all that on tortillas and eat several of them 😆

[@barbieericksonnorwegianlog520]

why did he say taco originated in Norway lmaooo 💀

[@jrojas961]

Idk 😂

[@ericktellez7632]

I think because he is using ingredients from Scandinavia and that makes it more “traditional” however, the recipe and even the type of tortilla he is using is based on tacos that were brought to sweden and norway from Californians that migrated there in the late 70s, early 80s. The truth is that Tacos are latin american but scandinavians did do their own twist on it.

[@q-YdjRd-UCufFy04oQT4bZMt65EXp]

@@ericktellez7632 Wrong. The method for making lefse in no way resembles that of making tortillas, and they far more closely resemble Southeastern French matafans than they do Mexican tortillas.

[@zaraterosas]

Tacos are mexican, im open to NEW recipes, but the taco (word and the concept behind) is mexican.

[@SknCommonLisper]

Softbread concept being mexican only would be the same as claiming meatcakes and meatballs are only Scandinavian. It's a ridiculous notion, one that can't be verified in any shape or form. It's the kind of concept that exists all over the world, therefore impossible to pinpoint(softbreads are commonly used in dishes in Russia\Eastern Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and have been so for as long as cooking history exists for these countries). Taco is Mexican, definitly. But the concept of the dish-type, can't be verified. Same, a lot of people would claim pizza is of italian origin, it's not. Middle east had the concept before the italians did(where the italians got the idea from in the first place), but does that mean Pizza originated in the middle east? No one knows. Earliest knowledge of Beer comes from Egypt, but that doesn't mean it originated there either.

[@zaraterosas]

@@SknCommonLisper tacos can be verified, when the Europeans first arrive to Tenochtitlan found out about the taco, there is no European record of a corn tortilla any other part in the world until that time. So a taco is Mexican the word and the concept. I don't know about meatballs.

[@SknCommonLisper]

@@zaraterosas ​ Abraham Zarate ...Ok, let me start again. Imagine a tortilla right, but it's not a tortilla. It's notmade of corn, it's made of something else, like wheat, potato or even... *gasp* barley! Right, that's not a Taco tortilla, a taco tortilla is made out of corn. My point and the point of the video, is not that corn tortillas were found outside of Mexico, no one has made that statement, at all. What has been said however(in the video, and by me) is that the concept of a flat, soft bread type of food, have origins outside of just mexico, and have existed all over the world(including Middle east, which would probably be the earliest records of such a food). English however, doesn't have a word for "tortilla" that isn't tortilla, outside of, well, mexican tortilla. Norwegian does(Lefse, Mjukbrød, lumpe), same with other European countries. Therefore, how do you explain lefse, mjukbrød and lumpe to a country that doesn't have a word for these things? You use a parallel to help them understand. They have the word Tortilla, therefore it's easy to use the word tortilla to describe it. But you're righ in that it is NOT a tortilla, because it's not made of corn, but the food isn't a mexican origin either because of the same reason. The dish itself(mjukbrød) is also fairly similar to Taco, without the spice and the use of a barley based bread, instead of corn(because corn didn't exist at the time in Norway, that's a very, very, very, very modern thing, far more modern than potatoes which is also modern, barley we've litteraly always had), it also doesnt' use any spices found naturally from the mexican region(so no pepper etc). But that's the key: It is SIMILAR to Taco, it's not the same as taco, nor does it take inspiration from it. If anything it'd take an inspiration from kebabs. As for meatballs - like with fish, it originate from pretty much all over the world. Just as the concept of softbread does. Which was my point. Mexico isn't the originator to the concept of flat bread(no culture can make that claim, just as no culture can make the claim of being the originator of fish, or meatballs), but it IS the originator of Taco and Tortilla(softbread with corn). But corn is very unique to Southern America.

[@Cisco925]

@@SknCommonLisper Just because you put meat in flat bread or something that resembles a tortilla, it doesn't automatically make it a taco. Thats what he is trying to say

[@SknCommonLisper]

@@Cisco925 Yeah, the naming of it as "norwegian taco" has less to do with it being taco, and more to do with attempting to explain something as being similar, was my point. "no ones" heard of Mjukbrød, but pretty much everyone has heard of tacos, so it make sense to use it to describe the concept(to relate to). When one describe noodles(to europeans especially), one would probably describe it as being like pasta. But Noodles are not pastas, nor derivitive of it(nor are pasta derivitive of noodles).

Just an FYI, it is spelled etiquette. And I agree with you. I absolutely love this show and Andreas Viestad! My late grandmother was born in 1919 in Minnesota, daughter of Norwegian immigrants and her first language was the Old Norse that her parents spoke. When she traveled to Norway to see where her father was born, the language had changed so much that only a couple of the extremely old folks could make out what she was saying. She spoke a dead language basically. I hope to see Norway too one day as I have Norwegian ancestry on both sides of my family. Whenever I watch this show now, I think of my grandma and miss her even more. She was just shy of 99 years old when she passed away. Let's hope that they post full-length episodes for us to enjoy!

He's not wrong. Mjukbrød and murr originate from Norway(those specific places mentioned). He also made the disclaimer in the video(Albeit poorly) that he's not litteraly talking about taco, But the general concept of the dish(soft flat round bread with pieces of meat and vegetables. I.e; "Tortillas"). Lumpe(potato "tortillas") is also a similar form of dish that originate from Norway, make some meat, add some vegetables to that lumpe and you suddenly got a Norwegian form of Taco. But yes, Mjukbrød and Murr isn't what we market as, or call Taco. But the Norwegian Taco(tortilla + Taco with cummin spice) isn't actually taco either(it's nothing like the Mexican taco).

[@gilbertflores6218]

(Facepalm) It wasn't "appropriated" from you. Not that you show any signs of knowing what that word means. Claiming that your people invented the concept of piling food on flatbread, and that they have some kind of proprietary right to the idea, is like trying to lay claiming that they invented the practice of using water to wash themselves.

Tacos are Mexican. What he is saying is that the same TYPE of food as tacos originated multiple times.

[@SknCommonLisper]

​@@edendqo Fish dishes originated from Norway. - Is essentially the statement here. Every culture, every country has fish dishes, it originate from pretty much every civilization as one has easy access to it, and it make sense to make. Same goes for the "taco". Taco, as in the word and dish originate from Mexico, the concept of flattening a bread-like dough, adding meat and vegetables to it, is however not unikely or originating from Mexico, it is a concept that has been reinvented and originates from all over the world, just as fish dishes do. Mjukbrød(litteraly; Softbread) is the name of the dish. But you can definitly see the parallels to Taco, but it is not Taco. Mjukbrød exists in other forms in Norway as well, such as Lumpe and lefse(made of potatoes) for instance is commonly associated with Norway(thought not unique to Norway, eastern europe also has similar dishes), and considered to originate from here. Make a Lefse(again, potato based), add meat, add vegetables. And now you have taco(with potato "tortilla" instead).
