@@flakey-finn How do you define "healthy"? Is it what makes you live longer? Is it what makes your body stronger? Because both of those contradict each other. Protein and carbs which we need to be stronger are known to increase the speed of aging, and people with low protein diets are known to live way longer and stay "younger" longer. See my point? There isn't anything that is "healthiest". It all depends on your point of view and what you want to get out of food. You want to increase your cognitive functions? Increase your omega 3 and eat more fatty fish. You want to decrease toxins? Stop eating fish more than once or twice a month, or eat fish with less known toxins(usually smaller fish like mackerel, sardines, anchovies, herring). It all depends on how you define "healthiest" and what you want to get out of your food. And certainly if you care about food safety and toxins, fish is not the healthiest food. Not at all.

Vegetables and taco shells and taco sauce with lots of spices. All organic and made from GMO-free corn. And a glass of kombucha of course ;) *Saturday* Third soup of the weekday, with soups that vary from week to week... Or if I am lazy, just a pizza ;() *Sunday* Same as Wednesday, grated cauliflower with some black rice, sauerkraut, fried fish (usually Scottish mackerel) and kombucha. As for the sauce, I usually use olive oil (with Demeter quality) with lots of different spices. (All ingredients on this list is made of organic ingredients)

I think Norwegian food (not talking about international restaurants) is very much like British and Australian food when it comes to using spices or rather the lack thereof. They cook meat, fish and poultry "as is" without marinating it. No spices, no garlic, no chili and if there is anything there might be a tiny bit of salt. In Norway frozen Grandiosa (one of their brands) pizza is a huge thing but not the variations of that you find in Sweden with loads of different toppings...no just the plain with no taste is the popular one. So if you're in Norway and want to your food to taste anything, then go to the international restaurants.

I somewhat find what norwegians eat as a food to be very similar to what Estonians eat. I once took a look at Estonian cuisine and i found a lots of cuisine made of potatoes and meat.

It seems like the Norwegians dont have any national dishes that they wish to admit to. It doesn't look like they are passionate about food and drink unlike the Italians or French for example.

Italian food is objectively amazing. We're not too proud to admit that. And we're descendants from Vikings after all, we love to take the good stuff from other countries. ;)

Hello from Utah! We stayed with some friends in Oslo and their son had 2 pølse med lompe (weenier wrapped in potato tortilla) for an appetizer!!! He weighs @22 stones so it’s no surprise. But that’s a meal all in itself and while it may be considered a child’s food, we like to have it when in Norway!

A lot of pizza ... Norwegians seem to like frozen pizza. Quite early to have dinner at 16 or 17. In Sweden it is probably 18-19 that is normal. But I think Swedes generally work longer days and quit their jobs later.

There are big issues with the norwegian farming of salmon, I don’t recommend “farmed” salmon in general. Canada has the best salmon in the world, sockeye salmon, although it is considered an endangered species in certain places

Every time i've been to norway i've been sort of surprised by Norwegians choices in food. It must be all them hills and mountains keeping them in shape because their eating, and food habits would certainly not qualify as good. Soo much snacks, junk food and bread. Plus no real lunch.

BS. 7% of your genes do not make you norwegian. that your genes make you who you "are" is a racist thought. your ethnicity matter the most, but most people don´t know the correct definition of "ethnicity". one of my relatives is of american origin, but have now lived the majority of her life in norway. she has assimilated well. that makes her quite norwegian, but she is not of norwegian descent. americans need to stop obsess over race and biology, but it´s deeply intertwined with usa´s history

@@themetricsystem7967 Wow, you protest too much. Many of us with deep roots in the US know very little for certain about our ancestors overseas. It's fun to get some information and imagine what life might have been like. I fully realize the information is imperfect and uncertain. Of course I'm not Norwegian in any meaningful way. I didn't imagine anyone would take what I said literally.

I don't think the subtitler understands the Sunglasses-guy so well. When talking about time of day he ate Middag as a child, I hear him say clearly - "Æ vet jo at.. det BRUKTE JO i hvert fall -Å- vær det når æ var ONGE..." "heim ATT TE.. f-foreldran min og sånn som -det- der" "det når æ va ong da va det viktig at vi kom inn te... OG ÅT MEDDAG, når det var MEDDAG." They translated it as- "da va det viktig at vi kom inn te.. Å ET middag..." (the speaker kept it past tense - "å eta/ ÅT/ har æti", liksom). Would love to hear from some ekte Trøndere if I got his Orkdalsk right (akkurat 😅) . (I kept my edits in ALL-CAPS and omissions in -strikethrough- ;)
