Hello! Norwegian here, just wanted to let you know you should dust of the snow on the van. You can get a pretty hefty fine by the police since it can turn into ice and fly off and hit another car. Love your videos though, hope you've had a great time here in Norway. I need to go up to northern Norway some time 😊 Edit: It can also hide important lights from far away

I will admit I did let it build up from time to time. ( but make sure lights can be seen ) But some days I could drive for 5 minutes and they back being covered again . Glad you like my videos, I love the north

There's many downsides with Norway, but all the upsides far outweigh them in my opinion, and no mud season is one of them :) Our mountains makes it impossible for mud to form and cause trouble to the same extent it would in flatter areas. Even our flat areas aren't flat... And it's funny to read because I want to go to Canada at some point. Your pow can get amazing I know. And there must be so many fun kayak routes.

400 g Torsketunger 4 ss hvetemel 1 ts Salt 0.5 TS Pepper 0.5 ts caennepepper 2 stk. EGG 2 dl grillmel 2 dl oil 1 stk. Sitron THIS IS WHAT YOU DO Rinse and dry the cod tongues. Mix wheat flour, salt, pepper and cayen pepper in a deep plate, whisk eggs in another deep plate and have grilled flour in a last plate. Turn the cod tongues first into flour, then in eggs and finally in grilling flour. Place them on a barrel until everyone is done. Heat oil in a saucepan and fry the cod tongues until golden brown on both sides. Place them on a little paper towel to drain. Serve piping warm cod tongues with lemon boats and remulade. If you want to serve cod tongues as a full dinner, so have cooked potatoes and cracked carrots next door. Do you have dry bread? Then you can make homemade grilling flour yourself.

Cod Tonques are commonly eaten in New Foundland and Canadian Maritimes, PEI, NB, NS. If you’re not from Newfoundland, you may be a little perplexed. But, please stay with me here. They’re really yummy! Think of them as little cod nuggets; essentially, nuggets seasoned well, dredged in flour and fried in olive oil until crispy, golden brown and scrumptious. You see, this is a traditional Newfoundland recipe. As you may have heard me say before, Newfoundland has a deep rooted history in the cod fishery. We have all sorts of recipes for cod in these parts, all unique and delicious. What I particularly love about the concept of this recipe is that it uses a part of the fish that may often get overlooked. It’s using something aside from the most commonly used parts, like the fillets.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Yeah I agree they are very yummy. I enjoyed them. I can imagine there are many ways you can cook them.

They wanted to see just the covid certificate and some ID. I showed my driver's license and got in. When I came back to Finland I wasn't even stopped.

Great video as always Alex. The one thing that I want to know more about is how you go about tow-starting a diesel engine van? Is it straightforward? I have an auto Iveco so I reckon it would be impossible to tow start mine! That gives me another question: Do you take any mechanical spares with you, 'just in case'?

With the vast majority of European vehicles all being manual, it’s pretty easy. Same as a bump start, only towing opposed to pushing. clutch down, first gear, get it rolling and then drop the clutch. With the key in the on position

Mechanical spares wise, I’ve got spares of most things which are not easily replaceable such as diesel heater components and so on. Vehicle components plenty of automotive shops up in the Nordics.

Cutting out the Cod tongues is traditionally done by children. It's often their first real earnings. There was recently a story about a 4year old who did it for the first time. He is saving up to buy a fishing boat. He absolutely knows what he wants to be when he grows up. Winter eating... Fried herring. It's season for fresh herring now. A pair of 400grams will do nicely. With head and tail removed and guts cleaned out. Leave the skin on. Rub with a mix of Flour, salt and ground black pepper.(Two tablespoons of Flour, two teaspoons of salt, and as much pepper as you like) Fry in butter on liw to medium heat. And make certain it's butter, and not some sort of Margarine. Fry on both sides until it starts loosening from the spine. The skin should be brown and crispy. Serve with cooked potatoes and 'Flatbread' Because there's no way you can ever manage to remove all the tiny little bones. I'll not try to get you to eat Lutefisk or other chemical warfare agent. If you enjoyed the Reindeer heart, look for canned food named either 'Joikakaker'(tins) or 'Vilti'(new cardboard packaging) It's meatballs containing some reindeer meat. Serve with mashed potatoes, and if you have it a dab of Tyttebær(Lingonberry, Mountain Cranberry and many other names) jam or jello will add a bit of a zest to the meal. Actually, that works with just about all red meat. ;-)

Good episode again, was looking forward to an update. Hope all will go well with your passport. Maybe a honest Norwegian will find and return it- for memories now, but still. Does Norway actually have cameras everywhere like the UK? haven’t spotted any ANPR e.g., so seems you are free to go around there. Did you actually have trouble finding an insurance for your van? After all, it’s „modified“ and that’s usually a killer when you tick that box with any insurance.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Passports are pretty easy to sort. Just a online form, local police to report lost and collect a emergency one. I would imagine there are some ANPR camera as there are quite a few tolls around. Actually, really easy to van insurance as I use a company which specialises in it

[@demil3618]

@@MispronouncedAdventures Coild you name the company? I know Brits get a terrible deal on insurance usually (named drivers only, modifications/non-fault claims etc being held against you etc.), very different from French or German insurers. So the ones that stand out might be worth mentioning 🙂 Yes ANPR might be at toll roads & borders, but in the UK it‘s everywhere in the roadside, small black cams on traffic lights or lamp posts- massive surveillance by police.

Whilst I’ve definitely heard, it’s synthetic pig, urine, chemically or something along those lines I don’t think directly peeing in it would help. The countdown on the transit is 1500 miles. It would just not allow the engine to be restarted. After a shutdown at zero it won’t restart

[@bartgroothengel7594]

next job on cooking:do not use margerine or so but use proper butter or animal-fat (reusel on dutch) and no veggie-oil!

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

To be honest I have no idea what I used. It’s looked like “butter” I’m not sure if it was or not

[@SebHaarfagre]

Passports are slowly being replaced by "National ID" cards. I don't know how effecient this progress is across some countries but I don't have a passport anymore. You can fit it in your wallet where your bank cards are etc.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

It’s a passport the same things? First I’ve heard the idea of replacing. I travel the work year round for work, where would all my massive visa stickers go?

[@gullf1sk]

Man if i had adblue bullshit on my car i'd hack it out of the system completely

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

It’s not really every an issue for me . I just full fill it up every few thousand miles. People do code it out but it’s not an issue for me so I’m bothered about

[@gullf1sk]

@@MispronouncedAdventures Its more of a principle thing for me. I refuse to do as they tell me :D

[@EuropanMind]

Why dont you have your Adblue disabled mate ? That is useless stuff that literary we do not need. Just disable that thing and drive with pleasure.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

It doesn’t really give me issues. I just fill it up when I need to

[@Luredreier]

Thank you for that vegetarian warning.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

No problem

[@howardtennant5766]

Have checked for your passport in your coat pockets and in your rucksack pocket's

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Oh I still stripped out the van multiple times over. Every bit of clothing even ones I hadn’t worn, all rucksacks, bottoms of every cupboard. I’m sure it will turn up unexpected months down the line or thaw out in the spring.

[@iangreen180]

And now it’s time to find your now canceled passport in some cranny it’s fallen into!

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

I fully expect so, or to get a phone call in the spring where it thaws out

Thank you very much for watching they are. also some of my favourite countries as well. I’ll check out your recommendation. My bangles are from Namibia from some of my trips working there.

[@realhawaii5o]

And this is why having identity cards is epic. Always have 2 identity documents instead of 1.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

It’s possible to get two passport ( depending on the nature of your job, mine would be applicable ) but it’s generally have to entry and leave one the same one. As they are unique documents with unique I’d numbers

[@realhawaii5o]

@@MispronouncedAdventures It's also good to have 2 if you're planning on going to countries that make it hard to visit if you've been to the other (like Armenia and Azerbaijan), which I recently did btw and recommend. The Caucasus is epic. Make sure to check it out when you get around to it.

filming in public leisure centres or pools doesn’t really go down well

@AmericaBound the rock climbing wall was in / over the pool not your normal indoor wall. You climbed in from the pool and land in the water so it’s got adults and children in swim clothes. you can go filming other people kids in there swimming kit! please do stick to the US

Cods have tongues? WTF? Oh....checked the google brain and now I understand. They are about the same as fish balls in Asian food. Fish have balls? WTF ;-p

Yeah, I was wasn’t aware it was a thing, but quite tasty!

[@davyfella]

Just piss in the AdBlu tank.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

That doesn’t work, adblue is 32.5% urea, human piss is about 2-4%. The issue isn’t getting hole of it. it’s available everywhere. It’s more it freezing again with the level gauge down

[@davyfella]

@@MispronouncedAdventures that all depends how dehydrated you are. A pint of full strength Trucker's Tizer will have a higher urea content.

You shouldn't eat what others have had in their mouth!

Where is the fun in that! The cods didn’t need them anymore

[@palgrebstad4491]

Do you eat eggs ?

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Yes

[@a.michaelsen2389]

It was a joke. I spent my childhood and youth in northern Norway, with a father who could not get enough of all things fish. Protesting it, we had two arguments. The first was that we had so much fish that the gulls wouldn't leave us alone, and when cod tongues were on the menu, the above argument. It didn't help us a bit, but we thought it was funny, and never stopped protesting. And, mind you, I always shell my eggs before eating them!

Depends what’s I doing. The passport is normal in the overhead cupboard when I needed to use it a lot for boarders, other wise it’s put somewhere safety ( which may be the case and where I forgotten where it is ) or I brought it on my walk to the Russian border, and it fell out on my pocket

@@MispronouncedAdventures Its HARD to lose a PASSPORT if you have it in a "folder" ore "purse" etc etc. Its the most importen id dokument you have.

@Per Øfstaas as someone who travels for a living and work for the last decade I am well aware of it importance and security, but accidents do happen. It’s kept in a small folder along with other important documentation such as my yellow fever vaccination certificate which is often used with work. Of which I lost the whole thing, I don’t take loosing of my passport lightly, and a pain to replace the passport and the other documents
