When they say "Gingerbread houses of all shapes and sizes" they really mean all shapes and sizes. The world's biggest gingerbread "town" and house is in Norway
Pinnekjøtt: "Pinne" means stick, and "kjøtt" means meat, so "stick meat". It's lamb ribs, and the origin of the name isn't really known. Perhaps because the bone part looks like sticks, or because the meat traditionally should be damped on top of birch sticks (to avoid contact with the water). Usually eaten with potatoes, rutabaga mash, and gravy from the meat dripping. Bacon optional. Very rough regional divides: Pinnekjøtt to the West, Ribbe to the east, fish in the north. You'll find everything everywhere, though. The most "interesting" fish dish would probably be "lutefisk", which is stockfish (unsalted dried fish, usually cod) or "klippfisk" (salted), cured in lye (lut=lye, and fisk=fish). It's an aquired taste, to put it mildly.

You should visit Tromsø when it is time for Nothern light. And have a slederide with reindeers or dogs. Nothern Norway is amazing.
