1:00 When cheese is made the fat and the sugar (whey) is separated. Cheese is made of the fat, while brown cheese is made from the whey. That is why it's so sweet. 3:46 Mackerel is a close relative of the tuna fish, not a sardine. That is why the taste is so strong and special. 4:44 Pickled herring (Sild = Herring). The d is mute btw. 7:20 Orange tasting soft drink / soda from 1934. Based on a Spanish drink called Naranjina Solo. 8:50 and 9:29 concentrated juice, mostly with added sugar, mix with water.
Hard-boiled sliced egg and tomatoes goes also very well on top of knekkebrød. Either with or without butter or mayonnaise. You should also try the Kumle/Kumpe/Potetball products which are a very traditional dish with various fillings, depending on which part of the country they are originated from. As always, nice to see your videos and keep them coming :-)
Hi dear friend, have a happy new week! It's good to watch your video, it's very interesting, hope you alway creative to grow. Good luck from Việt Nam! Stay connected!!!
Every time that I see someone in a Scandinavian supermarket showing food items, I never see actual real food (like meat and vegetables). there are lots of milk products, breads, caffeinated products sugary sodas and juices. But there are a lot of industrial made foods. Where are the real foods?
There is almost always a green section with veggies and fruit, a meat section and a cheese section in larger supermarkets in Norway. I'm guessing that those are rarely shown in videos as they are very similar around the world. There will of course be some differences, as some cuts of meat are more common in some countries, and you will of course see a lot more pork in Norway than in Saudi Arabia. The veggies will have the usual staples for European cooking, but you might have to go to specialty shops in order to get some of the things used in Asian, African or American cooking.
@@Blueisdeath1 Steak is a term that include a very wide range of cuts and qualities of meat. You can usually get a rib-eye steak for as low as 199 NOK/kg, while tenderloin will often be in the 3-400 NOK range. A head of lettuce is usually in the 15-20 NOK range. Here is an online food store that has fairly normal prices, so you can check various items yourself: kolonial.no/produkter/ Note that the meat prices in that store are a bit higher than what you can find in some stores. In general food is quite expensive in Norway. This is partly due to high wages, less than ideal conditions for agriculture and also due to tolls and import restrictions that are in place to protect our farmers.
Love your videos, but I want to know what saft products you have tried? When I think of saft it's something you mix with water. I've never heard of bubbly saft i think.
Stuff in tubes are the best innovation on earth! 😄 It preserves the content so that you can store a (opened) tube in the fridge for months. And Norwegians do love hiking (ut på tur, aldri sur!), and tubes can easily be carried around, really easy to quickly feed the kids with knekkebrød and something on tubes for an example 😊
I live in America. I've never been too far away from home. I often thought what it would be like to go into a grocery store and experience the different foods available. Not just foods, but shampoos & conditioners, deodorant ect.... Just take in the different cultures. And Norway is very old with Viking cultures still practiced today!! Norway is my favorite place next to home! I love the music, food, cothes, religion, the stories f the elders!! Thank you for letting me come with you to a Norweigan grocery store!!! Have a great day and God bless you!!
You are so cute! 😄 Soo fun to watch someone’s perspective on Norwegian items and culture 😄 And btw Saft is not healthy 😂 It’s almost only sugar... It’s boiled down fruit so I don’t think there’s any nutrients left after that processing 😅
Sild (herring) is popular in all of Scandinavia. I love it. The best comparison with "saft" is Kool-Aid I suppose, most know that. You have to mix it with water. Looking forward to the candy video, I suspect "salty liquorice" type of candy is a mostly Scandinavian thing, but could be wrong.
Sild is pronounced "sill" with a silent "d". Just like in "windowsill" in English. It is a common occurrence in Norwegian. "Sand", "land", "rand", "send", "kald" and many other words. Even more common in Danish. Mand, vand, kande, spand, tænd, bund etc.
I assume most tourists who go to Norway (as well as other countries) never set foot inside a grocery store. They miss out on so much of the culture. My wife and I really enjoyed our grocery shopping experiences while on vacation in Norway two years ago. All of the wonderful fish products were amazing. With our limited Norwegian, some items were a little hard to figure out. But that adds to the fun!
I agree regarding Grandiosa, shouldn't be called a pizza, its more like some kind of cheese toast bread if we are being generous to the paper-bread. Saft is called "squash" in English.
Saft and squash are different! Squash is a type of vegetable while saft doesn't has a direct translation, we would call it 'juice concentrate' or something along those lines :)
My favrioute is actually really bad...it's Huit Ost. This is due to it being both my childhood and the fact one can squirt it on just about anything. However due to healthy eating reasons I tend to buy Brunost then slice that up and put that on bread or Knekkebrod, which ever I feel like. But my ultimate Norwegian food is farikal yes!!!! 👍😅
My grandparants make solbærsaft all the time. We always drink warm solbærsaft when I have a sore throat. You definitely should mix it with water before drinking 😂
Leverpostei is a “liver pate” - it looks like soft dog or cat food, but it actually fairly tasty.... you can buy this all over Norge and in many Scandinavian markets in the USA.
funny, beside from Brunost and Molte Baer (well, and grandiosa ofcourse since this is just like brunost a reaaaally norwegian thing xD), we have basically the exact same stuff here in Germany xD We also have many stuff in tubes Knäckebrot Heringsfilet in Tomatensoße Leberwurst/-pastete Sild is probably like our "Rollmops" and "Sahne-fisch-filet" :D Solo is probably close to our orange-limo/fanta - need to try :D good to know that when I finally make the move to live and work in Norway that there aint all too much stuff I will miss :'D
Hello Mon Amie👋 thanks for your info-cative(information and educative) vlog. I’ve been following almost all your vlog on Norway 🇳🇴. I’m embarking on a journey of migrating to Norway 🇳🇴. I don’t know no one there so I would like to ask if you could be of a help in finding accommodation and of course a job. I am IT professional with nearly 2 decades of experience. Thanks 🙏🏾 😊
1 very important thing that has to be mentioned about Sørlandschips due to allergies, as it says on the bag: "Potato slices with skin on, slowly fried in small portions on extra low heat - in proper PEANUT OIL"
Du er en koselig og sjarmerende kvinne , lager artige og trivelige videoer. Du er født og oppvokst i Portugal , men du er fortsatt meir Norsk 😊 . Hadde du passert meg på gaten så hadde eg trudd at du var norsk . Har kun vært i Portugal en gang i Estoril / Cascais på ferie - var veldig fint der 😊
Makrell i Tomat on top of Knekkebrod, drank down with that amazing Norwegian Voss water is just an amazing meal. Of course if you work out like me you need 4 of those at once for that meal yes!!!! 💪🥤
@@Gazer75 That is true but Voss literally gives me their water for free so I am not losing out financially. Thankfully. Tap water is of course free however the alkaline levels in the Voss water is of higher quantities, which is good for the stomach acidity rates, as alkaline balances out the acid influx of the stomach. This was also confirmed by stomach Dr specialists of the Norwegian science division for health and well being. Tap water has a higher acidity rating unfortunately, which is not bad for the stomach either but Voss is just slightly better, ever so slightly. It makes no real difference to ones health overall but it is Norwegian and fantastic. As a fellow Norwegian I really do like supporting Norwegian legitimate businesses, including foreign Norwegian certified ones, that are legitimate. I do understand what you're saying about tap water but when you're supplied with unlimited heavenly Norwegian water, you'd also be drinking this lush Voss. I think I am addicted to Voss water...I actually had a dream the other night me swimming in the a Voss water fall.🥤 In Norway of course and a beam of light coming down from the sky and goddess Freya saying "Oh Lita GIRL you be drinking some lush GOLD here!" Then I woke up before I could reply unfortunately 😔 I would of said "Oh Freya silly you it is not GOLD it is VOSS!" Then I'm sure Freya would also drink Voss. See even the gods agree...I think. I might have a problem here. Voss is magical indeed🙏✨ #WhoTheBossItBeNorwegianVoss🌊
Finally I reached in Norway residing in oslo. I tried all the stuff which you described. One of my favourite is brown cheese 🧀 😍. And yeah you become little skinny and black so take care 🙂 😎
Last year I was living in Norway and I fell in love with Sørlands chips 😍 Now every time I see my boyfriend, who is still living there, he brings me Sørlands chips and it's the perfect present!
Interesting video, thanks for sharing. If I might add a bit of information: Knekkebrød is actually more of a swedish thing than a norwegian. But we norwegians have been liking this for ages too. Just look at the most famous brand of knekkebrød in the stores - called «Wasa», swedish for sure! Saft translates directly to juice. But if you want to buy orange juice, apple juice etc you would want to look for juice. Saft in Norway - would better be translated into cordial. So saft should be mixed with water in the mixture of 1:5 or whatever the bottle says. Cordials are quite common in other countries too, I remember especially Australia, but also Usa had some of it. Cloudberry - a very artic plant. It mostly grows high up north in Norway, especially in Finnmark, but can be found to a limited extend in the south mostly at a bit of altitude. Its actually a very sought after and valued berry and even fistfights have occured about the rights to pick this berry LOL. It grows in Alsaka and northern Canada as well.
Yes, Wasa is a Swedish producer of knekkebrød, but knekkebrød is the original form of bread in Norway. Soft breads like what is most common today was only backed for special occasions up until the late 19th century. Before that most people would bake knekkebrød as round plates with a hole in the middel at specific times of the year and store them on a staff up under the rafters (less accessible for pests).
Some rambling from a fellow Osloenser. All saft should be mixed with water, usually one part saft to 4 parts water. Solo is the norwegian version of the original Fanta. Sild is Herring in English. Multe only grows on highland moors so is hard for us cityslickers to get a hold of.
Nope! Solo is not the norwegian version of the "original" Fanta. Solo was introduced to the norwegioan market in 1934 after a norwegian engineer got the idea from a spanish recipee for orange concentrate. The "original" Fanta is actually a Nazi-invention from 1940.
I remember when Fanta was first introduced in Norway in 1966. The marketing slogan was "Fanta - så god at det er gøy å være tørst". I tried it first at a free sample stand in Messehallen, Sjølyst in Oslo (Norway's former main Exhibition complex) that year, and didn't completely disagree.
Saft /always/ needs to be blended out with water. It's pretty much liquid fruit extract. Or in other terms, syrup made by the fruit juices. And yeah, solbærsaft is really popular. There is a reason why it's commonly known as "husholdningssaft" ("household saft")
Solo is simply orange soda pop. Solbærsirup is a concentrate of blackcurrant berries with tons of sugar, and should definitely be mixed with water before drinking. Only then it becomes "saft". Many people drink it hot (but preferably luke warm) while out skiing and stuff, or as a relief for sore throat.
If you really want to try something Norwegian, and special. Try "gammalost". Translated it means old cheese. Very strong taste, and not all like it :-) Prim is also something to try.
This was a great video😍 A few things I thought of while watching this video is rømmegrøt (of course better homemade, but the packages at the store aren’t bad🤷🏻♀️) and then the different spreads you can get for knekkebrød and bread in general! I love the italiensk flavour and the kylling flavour😊
Riskrem (literally rice-cream) is a dessert hehehe. It's very sweet, since there is usually some raspberry or strawberry jam included as a sauce, and the rice-cream itself is basically rice porrige whipped together with cream and a lot of sugar.
Esclarecedor. Muitas coisas não tem descrição em outro idioma, sofri muito para comprar certas coisas obrigado pelo video. Patê de fígado já é um pouco mais comum. 😬
Hi there :) First of all I'm new to your amazing Chanel and I had to tell you that I really love your content about Norway/Norwegian, a Country and culture I really like and admire, and as a fellow Portuguese, the way you're showing our wonderful country to the world, please keep going!! As you, I Studied architecture in Portugal and I'm now finishing a PhD in Robotics and Architecture and moving to Norway has always been in the my after university dream, after seeing your video I wanted to ask you a question, since you have experience in the Norwegian environment in Architectural studios, is it in your opinion, hard to find a job in the Oslo/Norway and start a life in Norway?? Thank you so much and keep the good work!! obrigado
Olá Nuno! ☺️ I'm so happy to hear you like my channel and that you are exited to move to Norway 🥰 Finding a job it really depends... Knowing how to speak Norwegian is a huge plus! But maybe in robotics/engineer area it is easier to find a job by only speaking English. Wish you all the luck and hope you can make your dream come true 🤞🏻
Hei, Monica! Solo er påskedrikken, fordi den er gul på farge. Solo er basert på en spansk leskedrikk som het Naranjina solo. Da den kom til Norge i 1934 kuttet de ut det spanske ordet naranjina, sånn at den bare ble hetende Solo.
I loved Brunost! Gosto de patê de fígado...Gostaria de provar esse dai! O caviar no tubo ...😁eu não gostei! O pão daí é maravilhoso e saudável! Adorei o vídeo!!
You asked earlier about liquid youghurt. We had them in litre bottles before years ago. But they stopped make them because they did not sell enough. Sorry 😉
Almost all saft you have to mix with water. Not very many of them are pre mixed and they are usually not with bubbles. It is also full of sugar, so not wery healthy 😆
Desiludido pela falta de preparação no vídeo. O primeiro item devia ter sido o knekkebrød. A sild é uma espécie de herring em inglês, semelhante a anchovas. A solo é fizzy, não 'frizzy'. E podes tb referir o bife de baleia (kval) k é bastante sazonal e pequenas quantidades, mas interessante. E tb o facto de qdo vais comprar peixe fresco inteiro muitas vezes o peixe n está limpo, além de n escamado, o k me choca sempre. Na parte dos congelados as vezes tb se encontram perdizes e outras aves congeladas com penas, bico, pernas, bem nojento. No leite e derivados tb há uma variedade k só agora se vê um pouco em Portugal, como o kesam, kefir, kultur, etc. E já agora, o leite aqui é sobretudo fresco mas em Portugal é UHT, super processado, k na Noruega chamam langtydmelk k é sobretudo para uso industrial e a malta tem uma opinião bem negativa desse leite para uso doméstico. Pelo lado das ausências tb podias referir k na Noruega n se encontra carne de coelho porque é considerado animal de estimação. Acho k podias ter feito um pouco de trabalho de campo para estares melhor preparada.
Great tips and very well explained! My wife and me are thinking about moving to Norway and your channel is very helpful! Keep it up! One question though: do you miss fresh food? I understand that being from Portugal you'd be use to buy fresh products in regular markets (not supermarkets) like we're in Catalonia... and it's striking for us to notice all the videos we see about groceries in Norway are only considering supermarkets and there are little to none fresh products. All of them packaged! Even fish! What a lot of plastic waste! Have the norwegians gone more environmentally friendly recently and thought of other more eco-friendly ways of shopping? Also eating healthier?
@@daginn896 That's good to know, thank you. Here (in Catalonia) we're used to buy veggies and such on shops as well as on supermarkets but the later are considered "not that fresh" whereas shops usually have fresh produce from local farmers. Any advice regarding healthy & daily norwegian cuisine would be very welcome. All recipes I found are kind of ellaborate. :D
@@7Constanti You can also go to fishing markeds or stores, or fish your self as many do. Norwegian cusine? I think you would find that quite boring. But it is healthy.
1:00 When cheese is made the fat and the sugar (whey) is separated. Cheese is made of the fat, while brown cheese is made from the whey. That is why it's so sweet. 3:46 Mackerel is a close relative of the tuna fish, not a sardine. That is why the taste is so strong and special.
4:44 Pickled herring (Sild = Herring). The d is mute btw. 7:20 Orange tasting soft drink / soda from 1934. Based on a Spanish drink called Naranjina Solo. 8:50 and 9:29 concentrated juice, mostly with added sugar, mix with water.
Hard-boiled sliced egg and tomatoes goes also very well on top of knekkebrød. Either with or without butter or mayonnaise. You should also try the Kumle/Kumpe/Potetball products which are a very traditional dish with various fillings, depending on which part of the country they are originated from.
As always, nice to see your videos and keep them coming :-)
If we're going to Kumle, or Raspekaker as we call it here, you could also mention "Smalahove" ;)
Thank you for the video.
It's nice showing us the products in Norway. You look great in red with the lipstick 😉
here in Greece we have something like these yogurts we call it rizogalo
Loved this video❤

@@Blueisdeath1 Steak is a term that include a very wide range of cuts and qualities of meat. You can usually get a rib-eye steak for as low as 199 NOK/kg, while tenderloin will often be in the 3-400 NOK range. A head of lettuce is usually in the 15-20 NOK range.
Here is an online food store that has fairly normal prices, so you can check various items yourself: kolonial.no/produkter/
Note that the meat prices in that store are a bit higher than what you can find in some stores.
In general food is quite expensive in Norway. This is partly due to high wages, less than ideal conditions for agriculture and also due to tolls and import restrictions that are in place to protect our farmers.

Did you know that, while Norway has a population of 5.4 million, it consumes 25 million Grandiosa Pizzas per year?

Many Norwegians even eat it for Christmas dinner (not me!).

The rice lunch is not yogurt. It's closer to rice porridge. And the other with havre is also a kind of porridge. We don't mix yogurt with porridge 🤪

True 😅
You'll find both American and Italian style pizza places around.
Thats the place with the terras on the riverside? I have had diner there but no pizza though. Will try it the next time i’m in lom
Knekkebrød with salty butter and Kaviar, holy mama that's almost the best thing ever:)
All saft have to be mixed with water. It s very concentrated juice. You put just little bit in the glass and fill it up with cold fresh water

And yeah, solbærsaft is really popular. There is a reason why it's commonly known as "husholdningssaft" ("household saft")
Solo is simply orange soda pop. Solbærsirup is a concentrate of blackcurrant berries with tons of sugar, and should definitely be mixed with water before drinking. Only then it becomes "saft". Many people drink it hot (but preferably luke warm) while out skiing and stuff, or as a relief for sore throat.
If you really want to try something Norwegian, and special. Try "gammalost". Translated it means old cheese. Very strong taste, and not all like it :-) Prim is also something to try.
You are looking extra cute in this video!!
🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰
Hlo mon....
I like ur every vdos nd suggestion.. Nice
This was a great video😍 A few things I thought of while watching this video is rømmegrøt (of course better homemade, but the packages at the store aren’t bad🤷🏻♀️) and then the different spreads you can get for knekkebrød and bread in general! I love the italiensk flavour and the kylling flavour😊
Gostei bastante deste vídeo. Será que poderia fazer o vídeo com os doces noruegueses??!!
Siiim! Vou fazer de certeza 😁
This a dog food , the supermarket in Norway is not good .
Jer er vegansk så når kommer jeg til Norge I won't have idea of what to eat, hahaha
LOL funny video Mon so true being Norwegian myself. Absolutely make that video of candy if you want to. I liked this video yes!!!!👍😅
I have tade all of it i live in norway the fihe whit tomatos is so good
Riskrem (literally rice-cream) is a dessert hehehe. It's very sweet, since there is usually some raspberry or strawberry jam included as a sauce, and the rice-cream itself is basically rice porrige whipped together with cream and a lot of sugar.
Rislunch, as shown in the video, is basically Riskrem with less sugar.
que video legal! EU amei! Obrigada! ❤❤❤
Good video but I think I could do without the canned fish !!
Lewis Wheeler nei, fisk er veldig bra.....
Left Norway in 1956.miss all my favorite food.
Esclarecedor. Muitas coisas não tem descrição em outro idioma, sofri muito para comprar certas coisas obrigado pelo video. Patê de fígado já é um pouco mais comum. 😬
yeah grandiosa is my favorite
all saft should be added to water
Hi there :) First of all I'm new to your amazing Chanel and I had to tell you that I really love your content about Norway/Norwegian, a Country and culture I really like and admire, and as a fellow Portuguese, the way you're showing our wonderful country to the world, please keep going!! As you, I Studied architecture in Portugal and I'm now finishing a PhD in Robotics and Architecture and moving to Norway has always been in the my after university dream, after seeing your video I wanted to ask you a question, since you have experience in the Norwegian environment in Architectural studios, is it in your opinion, hard to find a job in the Oslo/Norway and start a life in Norway?? Thank you so much and keep the good work!! obrigado
Olá Nuno! ☺️ I'm so happy to hear you like my channel and that you are exited to move to Norway 🥰 Finding a job it really depends... Knowing how to speak Norwegian is a huge plus! But maybe in robotics/engineer area it is easier to find a job by only speaking English. Wish you all the luck and hope you can make your dream come true 🤞🏻
Hi Mon! When you first thought of studying and moving abroad, what other countries did you consider? ✈️
Hey! It was either Norway or Scotland 🥰
Hei, Monica! Solo er påskedrikken, fordi den er gul på farge. Solo er basert på en spansk leskedrikk som het Naranjina solo. Da den kom til Norge i 1934 kuttet de ut det spanske ordet naranjina, sånn at den bare ble hetende Solo.
Wow! Det er så interessant! Takk 😯😍
I loved Brunost! Gosto de patê de fígado...Gostaria de provar esse dai! O caviar no tubo ...😁eu não gostei! O pão daí é maravilhoso e saudável! Adorei o vídeo!!
Figado in Portugese, higado in Spanish. The resemblance is clear. Sorry, can't write accents with my keyboard.
Hii
Now I miss Norway
Ri muito com o paté de fígado. Como assim o rótulo é um miúdo a rir? 🤣🤣
You asked earlier about liquid youghurt. We had them in litre bottles before years ago. But they stopped make them because they did not sell enough. Sorry 😉
Almost all saft you have to mix with water. Not very many of them are pre mixed and they are usually not with bubbles. It is also full of sugar, so not wery healthy 😆
Desiludido pela falta de preparação no vídeo. O primeiro item devia ter sido o knekkebrød. A sild é uma espécie de herring em inglês, semelhante a anchovas. A solo é fizzy, não 'frizzy'. E podes tb referir o bife de baleia (kval) k é bastante sazonal e pequenas quantidades, mas interessante. E tb o facto de qdo vais comprar peixe fresco inteiro muitas vezes o peixe n está limpo, além de n escamado, o k me choca sempre. Na parte dos congelados as vezes tb se encontram perdizes e outras aves congeladas com penas, bico, pernas, bem nojento. No leite e derivados tb há uma variedade k só agora se vê um pouco em Portugal, como o kesam, kefir, kultur, etc. E já agora, o leite aqui é sobretudo fresco mas em Portugal é UHT, super processado, k na Noruega chamam langtydmelk k é sobretudo para uso industrial e a malta tem uma opinião bem negativa desse leite para uso doméstico. Pelo lado das ausências tb podias referir k na Noruega n se encontra carne de coelho porque é considerado animal de estimação. Acho k podias ter feito um pouco de trabalho de campo para estares melhor preparada.
OK, fazes tu o próximo video sobre comida norueguesa, bora lá!
Great tips and very well explained! My wife and me are thinking about moving to Norway and your channel is very helpful! Keep it up!
One question though: do you miss fresh food? I understand that being from Portugal you'd be use to buy fresh products in regular markets (not supermarkets) like we're in Catalonia... and it's striking for us to notice all the videos we see about groceries in Norway are only considering supermarkets and there are little to none fresh products. All of them packaged! Even fish! What a lot of plastic waste!
Have the norwegians gone more environmentally friendly recently and thought of other more eco-friendly ways of shopping? Also eating healthier?
You can buy fresh in the supermarkeds. And to be fair, Norwegian - and Scandinavian cusine, are among the healthiest in the world.
@@daginn896 That's good to know, thank you. Here (in Catalonia) we're used to buy veggies and such on shops as well as on supermarkets but the later are considered "not that fresh" whereas shops usually have fresh produce from local farmers.
Any advice regarding healthy & daily norwegian cuisine would be very welcome. All recipes I found are kind of ellaborate. :D
@@7Constanti You can also go to fishing markeds or stores, or fish your self as many do. Norwegian cusine? I think you would find that quite boring. But it is healthy.
