Food

A common food among Norwegians is fish. No surprise, there is an abundance of seafood found in it's water making Norway's fishing industry incredibly large. They are also one of the biggest fish exporters out there.

Norway is a country that it's people are said to be the healthiest. We have fish anywhere from 2-4 times a week. For breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper.

For occasions like Easter and christmas, lamb is usually whats cooking. To make the lamb you have to prepare a day ahead of time. With probably the biggest pot you could find, you place a filter at the bottom to filter out the salt of the lamb. We like it salty but not THAT salty. Then you leave it to cook for up to 5 hours depending on you personal taste.

In almost every family, dinner is made every night after work. Time is taken out of the day to have family time which is spent at the dinner table.

Some common baked goods would b what is made on May 17th (Norways birthday) or someones birthday, Kransekake. It's a pastry cake, stacked with many layers and frosted with sugar. You can also place little toothpick norwegian flags on each layer as shown in the picture below.

Also  called the Norwegian Wedding cake. Usually made fat free and flour free..and did i mention, it's delicious!
