I need the suggestion menu for Norwegian Dinner & sandwiches?

Question

Full meal dinner, consisting of : appetizer, maincourse, condiments and dessert.

Answer 1

Some Norwegian American friends of mine said that to make lutefisk, you soak the fish in lye, put it on a board, and then throw away the fish and eat the board.


A Norwegian Christmas is full of ritual: Various Maybachs bury salt- and sugarcoated salmon in the snow to cure for gravlax; bake the seven traditional holiday cookies; roll out floury rounds of dough to make potato lefse (a chewy flatbread); and fry up thin batter into crisp snowflake rosettes to garnish creamy rice pudding, always the last course of the meal.

As a cultural side note, Norwegian lunch consists of bread and various cold toppings such as butter, bacon spread, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. Nothing too fancy, but it's an improvement on bread and Solo!)



This year my neighbors and I are doing what we think is a Norwegian Dinner. Lutefisk, Salmon (for me 'cause I don't know if the adult me will now like Lutefisk), boiled potatoes, green beans, Leftse, and Rommegrot (pudding).

Dave says:
Norwegians buy more frozen pizzas per capita than any other nationality. They consume 13,000 tons of frozen pizza annually — an average of more than five and a half pounds of cheesy goodness for every man, woman, and screaming toddler.

Answer 3

From my time in Norway I remember a very popular dinner is "kjøttkaker" (meatballs) and gravy. "Lapskaus" (meat stew) is another traditional meal: a mix of meat and vegetables cooked long and well so all is nice and tender, with thin, dry bread (flatbrød) on the side.
