Hello from Norway. You guys are so funny. I was laughing so hard about the Voss water. haha And the "tyrkisk pepper" is my favorite candy! So ruuuude to give it a 1! 😅 If you are interested in Norwegian music, you should check out AURORA and her music video "Queendom" It has become a LGBTQIA2S+ anthem all over the world. She's a touring artist and speak up for the community at every show. She sing that song while running and dancing all over the stage waving the pride flag. She also have a song called "Cure for me". She wrote it because she is so angry about conversion therapy still being legal in several countries. She is a VERY loved artist, because she is so genuine, kind and down to earth. She's also extremely quirky and funny. lol You guys are great so you got a new subscriber! 🥰
HI Natasha, Hi Debbie, I adore your Shows and can't wait for your visit to the Britain. Natasha, Freddie Mercury's stuff is on sale this week at Sotherbys auction house. Freddies' crown and cloak went for over £1 Million yesterday. Its all on UA-cam and things are going for silly money but great to watch! Take care Ladies xXx
Never heard of anyone using mayonaisse on tacos here, but yeah, sour cream (ours is way better than the US or rest of the world, just fyi). If you ever try the chocolate called "kvikk lunsj" - don't ever compare (at least never say it out loud) it to kitkat 🤬 😂 it's way better and nothing similar 😉
Oh, they made such a big mistake in that video. The right to roam does not mean you can go anywhere you want as long as it's not private property. It means you can go anywhere you want even if it _is_ private property. As long as you stay 400m away from any residences, you can pretty much set up tent and stay for two days without asking permission from anyone. The key in Norway is respect. It is called The Law of the City of Kardemomme; «You _must_ not be mean to others, you _shall_ be easy and kind. Apart from that, you can do whatever you want». It's almost literally true. If you can build a reputation for being respectful, helpful, friendly and kind, you can get away with pretty much anything.
«Melkerull» means «Milky-Roll», «Smil» means «Smile», and «Firkløver» means «Four-Clover»😊 You know that English and Norwegian are closely related languages, right?😄
It can be difficult to tell the difference on some American brands of mayonnaise, some are made with only egg whites and then it probably looks like sour cream.
Keep 'em coming ^^ And; Try out the norwegian candy "Smash" from Nidar. Just a warning though; The side-effect is not being able to stop until the bag is empty...
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow If you don't find it we could have a chat and we might be able to fix that ^^ Would love to see you do a norwegian food/snacks-tasting episode. You already seem to enjoy our milk-chocolate!
When I was in the British army I did a 2 month tour in harstad, Norway. Got to sail the fjords and saw the northern lights twice! I fell so in love with the country and it’s people. It’s so beautiful. Years later I did ancestry dna. I was shocked but secretly pleased that I’m 10% Norwegian ❤
I'm Norwegian, and I've always had a pull towards the celtic parts of Britain. (Ireland, cornwall, scotland etc...) And my DNA test , very surprisingly, showed my ancestry are 6%, Irish, scottish, welch... Makes one wonder if there is such a thing as genetic memory "...
I once visited my room mate from college who lived in Harstad. We went there during the winter, and I don't remember a single thing from the place since it was dark outside from the moment we woke up, to the moment we went back to bed. He told me that they only had about 2 hours of sunlight during the winter 😂 All I remember is his house, the nearby grocery store and headlights in the darkness.
I live in Harstad, and has done so since 1965. A great town/city 🙂 We have the biggest guns too, the 4 german Adolf guns from WW2. Intended to be mounted on battleships, but no battleships were built for them. Of the 12 guns built, 4 of them are in Harstad (one is open for public). Some of the other guns were scrapped. The barrel is 20 meters long. I was inside the gun 30 years ago.
@@DillaryHuff I live in Harstad. The darkest period is in late December during x-mas with no sunlight (but a few hours of daylight). But the sun comes back in mid January and eventually shines from the morning to the afternoon in February. No big deal there 😊And then there is the midnight sun. It shines all day and night for 2 months in the summer (except when it's cloudy....).
Firkløver means Four leaf clover. In old days many believed that finding a four leaf clover meant good luck and that good things are coming your way. 🇳🇴
The water in Norway is known for the best in the world, so yes, we have very good and clean spring water. Voss water is one of the best. No, I have never seen someone use mayonnaise on the tacos. Most use sour cream and salsa sous addition to taco sauce. Don’t mess with our tacos, please.
Tyrkisk Peber isn't Norwegian though.... I guess it might be Danish? Since pepper is spelled "pepper" in Norwegian, "peber" in Danish but "Fazer" is a Finnish producer...But love "Tyrkisk peber", both the candy and the liquer
hehe.... have you tried to make the drink yourself? Take a bag of the candy, put it in a 0.5 liter bottle and fill it up with vodka, and let the alcohol disolve the candy. Taste much better than the ones you get at the liquer store@@mckrogh79
Hello from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺🌏. The story of Queen Maud of Norway(1869 - 1938) is quite fascinating granddaughter of Queen Victoria and sister of King George V. She married her first cousin Prince Carl of Denmark later King Haakon VII (1872 - 1957).
I absolutely love liquorice and tyrkisk peber is ont of my favorites, though technically danish it is really popular in Norway 🇳🇴 you're pronunciation of Firkløver was good and please keep trying most of us just fint it fun watching english people stuble over norwegian and especially Æ,Ø,Å 😂 geography now get moat of their stuff right i have never heard of maio on tacos 🌮 but sour cream is pretty common
Loved the reaction! It is nice to see more people learning about Norway! I would just like to point out that on Svalbard you're not allowed to be burried, so dying is allowed...luckily 😅 All the love from Norway❣
Norwegians don't get upset when people mispronounce our words. We're just happy when someone gives us attention. :D Also, the Tyrkisk Peber is a Swiss brand with Danish writing, I have no idea why it's considered Norwegian. lol
Great reaction as always - fun that you guys explore Norway. 😄 This video was accurate, but very fast paced. I love licorice as almost every other Norwegian. We mostly import licorice candy from Finland. I think the one you tried is Finnish, but it's a commonly known candy here and sold at every Norwegian supermarked, so I would say it's kind of "Norwegian". Smil (meaning smile) is one of my favorites. Good pronunciation of Firekløver (firekløver = clover)😊We are known for our milk chocolate. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🤗
The chocolate is better than the American because we use milk. The American chocolate uses dry milk, which is why you get the bitterness. It contains the same enzyme that gives its taste to vomit. :P Fun fact: The town York in Jorvik, in the UK was founded by Norwegian vikings. This means that a small place founded a little later, in the east coast of the US, actually has a name that comes from Norway. ;)
americans also uses the essence of vomit in their chocolate. and no that's not a joke, they use Butyric acid and that is a compound found in milk products and is also present in rancid butter and vomit
If you want to see more about the Lærdal Tunnel channel Megaprojects has a great video about the tunnel, showcasing a bit of the values Norway has when doing construction.
Norway looks so cool, definitely want to visit one day. All I knew before watching your videos of that country was Roald Dahl was born there, the movie about the invasion during the war and a book about them telling the Russians their sub sank in the 2000s but Putin said "Nah, it's fine" (It wasn't). Feel a bit silly for not wanting to learn more then but so glad I learned through you ladies so cheers!
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow remember A-ha is norwegian and the Ylvis . Great artists and great music. Ylvis is great humour, should watch. Many videos, not only fox say😂
As a Norwegian I can say that was pretty accurate (for how brief it was). The cultural part was probably the weakest. Nothing untrue, but not as to the point as many of the others. The one thing that was incorrect is that the king and government were in Scotland during WWII. They were in London (England,), and hence Oslo sends a Christmas tree to London as a gift every year. Fun fact: Your "alternate" pronunciation of caramel is quite much as it is pronounced in Norwegian (same A-sound).
You need to make shots out of the Tyrkisk pepper. One bag into a bottle of vodka and let it rest for a couple of days 😉 best shot ever, way better than tequila 😉 And yes, the information is accurate 👍
Well, better than Tequila is a bit like saying drier than water, isn't it? I'd compare it to Sambucca, or if not very experienced with shots, just call it hot'n'sweet, like that store bought stuff. It does taste way better when made from the candy and vodka. Fun fact, you can't do it with pure spirits (96% - illegal in Norway), it has to be some water content, or the candy will not dissolve. Also works with a plethora of other candy, but "Tyrker-shots" are by far the most common. Kongen av Danmark (the king of Denmark candy) works really well too, and most of the non-sugar-free stuff works.
To let it sit is probably better yes! When we were in high school, one evening, me and a friend of mine tried to make a shortcut. We just poured both vodka and tyrkisk pepper into a pot on the stove and boiled it. Let's say, we didn't get drunk that evening. 🤷♀️ All the alcohol evaporated 😅
Hi Ladies, I love the honesty of your reactions. Having just returned from cruising a few Fjords, my much better half and I fell in love with the landscape and people we met, that we are returning next year to sort more of this beautiful country. I look forward to learning more about it with you both. Thank you, and keep them coming.
I was in Norway 3 weeks ago, beautiful throughout, now Im at home in Spain showing my fotos to the guys and gals in the bar. I've done my bit for Nowegian tourism😅
Hi 😊 The last candy you tried, is not Norwegian, "Tyrkisk peber" is from Finland 😂 Well living in Norway, in fare north, it's not bad. It's safe, free health care, free school, and nature is great 😊
Yes. Fazer is a Finnish company, but Karl Fazer, the founder could be considered Russian, since The Grand Duchy of Finland was an autonomous state within the Russian Empire when he was born (in 1866). "Tyrkisk Peber" means "Turkish pepper" in Danish 🤦, and people think it's Norwegian. Mind blown yet? 🤯😂
@@AudunWangenA little more than a year late, but yes Tyrkisk Peber was invented in Denmark in 1977 and the brand was sold to Finnish Fazer in 1996. The funny part is that Tyrkisk Peber world wide has become Fazers most sold and sought after product and its litterally something they didnt invent themselves. My childhood in the 80's had lots of tyrkisk peber in it, since my grandfather worked for Perelly in Denmark, luckily he had retired before it got sold off, he was so proud of his workplace.
I love the fact you both gave "Smil" (Smile) 10s. And you did what the product is intending with the slogan AKA smile ;) Most of us Norwegians love it too, I myself prefer Center from Cloetta. Witch is Swedish I think. (If you can find it, seems like you would really like that too?)
Tyrkisk Peber can be found in all of the Nordic countries. It is my absolute favorite candy ever since my mother gave me one as a toddler (she thought I wouldn't like it, but it backfired). Salty liquorice, or salmiakki is quite popular here (but you either love it or hate it). I am honestly just impressed that you did not spit it out right away like may people do. If you ever react to Sweden, you should try to get a hold of Djungelvrål, which is like Salmiakki on steroids
Great again girlies, I must get some more chocolate I love it. Love the mirror idea that was amazing yet simple solution. And those blue eyes are just hit you.must go it's on my bucket list. Well done girlies looking forward to more about Norway ❤👏👏👏
Happy to see you guys dive more into our beautiful country :) Yes, we have excellent milk chocolate. I know the Swiss are known for their chocolate, but honestly for me nothing tops ours, lol. I especially love it with air bubbles (makes it melt on the tongue even more) and/or with hazel nuts in it (got both melkerull and firkløver at home). Your pronounciation attempt wasn't that bad (honestly I am just happy you dared to try, especially going completely blind into it), the hard part is knowing how our vowels sound like (as many of them don't correspond to the english vowel sounds), so gonna attempt to guide you on that. In the three bits, put emphasis on the middle beat of the word fir-klø-ver. The "i" sound is very much like the sound of english words with "ee", the "ø" you would use the vowel sound in the english words "fir"/"fur", and the last bit would be similar to the word "where", just with a more pronouned v-sound and a rolling r. I don't have a car myself, so the only way I keep up on gas prices nowadays is when I walk past a gas station, and from what I can see gas is now usually 20-25 NOK per liter, with today's exchange rate that makes gas prices between 7-8.8 USD per gallon (in the video it was 17,2 NOK per liter, 7.50 USD per gallon) As soon as you showed the Voss water bottle, I was anticipating the reaction to that bit of the video, lol. To be fair, we do have really great tap water here. The only thing I would say beats the water we have from the tap melted glacier water as it's so cold and fresh. If you ever hike up to a glacier here, find a stream coming down from the glacier and just fill up your bottle, you will appreciate it. Don't worry about not liking Tyrkisk pepper, I'm not a liquorish person myself, so I avoid all that stuff like the plague. If I was to recommend other Norwegian candy to be on the lookout for, here are some suggestions: Smash (salty corn bugles covered with milk chocolate, I always bring this with me whenever I travel to share with people, it's an addictive salt and sweet combo, I have a Canadian friend who lives in the UK that I've visited and she refers to me as her Smash dealer, because she got so hooked on it, lol) Smørbukk (another one I always bring with me to introduce to people, the kind I prefer is a hard toffee that slowly soften on your tongue - they do have a softer one with chocolate coating, but I don't think it's as good) Stratos (milk chocolate with air bubbles, really melts on your tongue)
Turkish Peber/Pepper is Danish, but we all eat and share our candies, for the most part. About our chocolate, it can be more melty as it doesn't have conservatives to keep it from melting, which in return makes it more creamy. We pride over our chocolate, just saddening that the company is bought and owned by Mondelez. About the video, there are a few mistakes, you can die in Svalbard, you just can't be buried in Svalbard, because of the permafrost. We don't put mayonnaise on Taco, but "rømme dressing", which is closer to Sour cream/Crème fraîche. Also, about the viking history, Denmark and Sweden were both very active in the Viking age, but mainly focused on different areas. Sweden went via Finland, Estonia, Russia, there are even theories that the original Russia stem from Swedish Vikings. Denmark focused mainly on England, even controlled it for a while, also focused around south Europe. While Norway generally focused around Scotland, Ireland and North America. But, in many of the conquests, all countries have participated in some form or another. Often big debates on which famous Viking came from where, like Rollo is debated to be either Danish or Norwegian-Icelandic.
"Tyrkisk peber was originally invented by Per Fjelsten in 1976 in Jutland, Denmark and was originally made by the Danish company Perelly, before the company was acquired by Fazer."
@@toreheggelund612 Mondelez is Kraft foods, just changed name 10 years ago. I will generally call the product from where it was originally created, hence I call it Danish instead of Finnish, unless the recipe has been changed too much from its original. Albeit, I did not know that Marabou was daughter company of Freia, TIL.
To be fair it was created in Denmark. Tyrkisk peber was originally invented by Per Fjelsten in 1976 in Jutland, Denmark and was originally made by the Danish company Perelly, before the company was acquired by Fazer in the 1990's. But yea, loved in all the nordic countries.
@@peacefulminimalist2028 I'm a Brit that lives in Finland now. Here everyone acts like salmiakki is the most Finnidh thing ever. No one has ever mentioned that it was orriginally Danish.
@@lolsaXx Maybe they don't know and just assume it's a Finnish invention. I'm Norwegian and we eat tons of it here too, but I knew it was Danish. Had to look up the details though :)
I'm loving that you guys are doing other countries, its really interesting, there are so many countries in Europe to learn about your videos could be endless, YES! and then the rest of the world, I would definately watch any video you react too xx
I adore the fact that you u are learning about my home country. Come to Oslo one day and I promise to give you a guided tour, I actually used to work as a tour guide at Norwegian culture historical museum ❤️
"Smil, ment for å deles.". You enjoyed the chocolate/creamed toffee experience as it was created, shared. You're expected to share, so be advised. Norwegians use Tyrkisk Peber for one purpose only (yeah, I guess you can suck on it as a candy... but): 40 grams of tyrkisk peber 2 tablespoons water. 1/2 lime. 2 dl vodka. AFTERSKI !! (or apre ski...)
I am learning so much about different countries on this channel. I am learning that l really didn’t know much about Norway so thank you for putting the effort in so we can learn together. I want some of those chocolates 😋 maybe not the salt , pepper ones. But it was entertaining, watching you experienced them 👍❤️🇳🇴
You are right!!!! Best meat I ever had, was dry Reindeer meat that was then grilled on charcoal. Nothing better than that and , it was prepared by Sami people friedns of mine at Finnmarksvida, best summer ever!!!😋😋
02:42 some locals, not far from where I live, casually say that they flush their toilet with Voss water. It's not entirely true, but not entirely wrong either. The government's water supply, and the Voss factory get their water from approximately the same location. In Norway we have very high quality tap water. If for some reason any local water supply is contaminated to a level where you can't drink it, it makes the national news.
The guy was talking too fast, but still, a lot of information. The expression that Debbie said "the taste is starting to come out of my nose" had me in stitches. More chocolate is needed.
ladies its Ange the facts about the country was truly interesting thank you for expanding the countries you're visiting. those chocolates looked great. n that final hard lolly looked good too. Yes im an aniseed n liquorice fan
Swede here, the JAPP bar is ours and Turkisk peber is Finnish. Though alot of candies and other things are all over the nordics and ingrained in all the countries which can make it hard to know exactly where its from. Ive seen plenty of "trying swedish candy" videos where Turkisk peber is also presented, but the conpnay Fazer is indeed Finnish.
Really hope you will look into some more Norwegian stuff soon. Like the Lærdaltunnel as you mentioned. We even have a bicycle tunnel.The language, the Sami people. Ferries
by the way, regarding the voss water, what he said about it is actually true. i grew up only half an hour drive away from the factory making voss water, and we had access to a cabin basicly next door to that factory, and the tap water there was comming from the exact same place as the water you drink in those voss bottles.
I visited Norway from Australia in February, around Narvik and surrounding towns. Beautifulllll place! 🇳🇴 Especially from a mountain top viewpoint looking down over all the Fjords and Scandes. Our tour guide took us on a route explaining and showing all about the pivotal seige and Battles of Narvik in WW2, it's actually insane. You should watch a video about that!
Hi from Oslo 😊Loved this video and your reaction .The facts in the video are all accurate besides mayo on tacos 😂They probably ment Sour cream , no taco in my house fridays without sour cream on top ! Thanks again for a greate video ❣
Taco Friday is a real thing here & many families & friends partake in it. (I am Norwegian myself & it got to the point where i skipped out on the real Friday tradition every now & then)
A-ha is absolutely Norwegian, and if the only song you know is Take on me you should check out some more of their music. It's an amazing band, still active. They released their 11. studio album in October 2022. I recommend The sun always shines on TV, Manhattan Skyline, Stay on these roads, Summer moved on, Foot of the Mountain and from their last album I'm In. There is a three part documentary about making Take on me, which you might find interesting. The famous keyboard riff was made by the keyboardist Magne Furuholmen when he was 14 years old.
@@denplummer1067 Yes, she was born in Norway to a Norwegian mother, but it's really a sad story. If I'm not mistaken, the father was German, which was a problem when she was born just after the war. Therefore, her mother moved with her to Sweden, so I doubt that she has particularly close ties to Norway.
I work in the municipality where the Voss factory is. They draw their water from the same basin and have been tested as chemically identical. My boss keeps his fridge full of Voss bottles that he refills from the tap, as he finds it hilarious to serve to people and point out it's 'free'. Next to where the water is drawn, is one of Europe's largest scout campsites and also a large recreational cabin for the regional mental hospital. So I usually think of Voss-water as water-flavored scout-pee laced with all the drugs.
The tyrkisk pepper is really just for people who already likes it. I personally love turkish pepper because normal licorice is too sweet for me and the spicyness makes it better in my oppinion. My mother has for years been putting like a bag of turkish pepper into absolute vodka and leaving it to simmer for a few days, it was the first alcohol i tasted that wasnt beer. so good. I allways find it so fun that americans or anyone else that dont speak norwegian for that matter, try to pronounce the candy in such specific ways. Like 90% of candy brands we got is literally extremly similar to english words, melke rull? Milk roll, firkløver? Four clover (like a four leaf clover), sjokolade? Chocolate. Kvikk lunsj? Quick lunch.
SMIL translate to "smile" in english (of course). This old commercial from the 70s relate to that ua-cam.com/video/ARvaqgTU5KY/v-deo.html He occupies the sales-woman until it`s time for her to close, then orders 10 smiles and starts of an auction to the crowd. Popular stuff that SMILE 😂
1: It is not illegal to "Die" in Svalbard, it is illegal to bury people in the ground, cause of Permafrost. People die up there just as anywhere else. 2: Mayonaise on Taco is not normal. Not a single restaurant i have visited in 35 years have ever offered Mayonaise on Taco's, and most people i know (i know quite a few) vould be repusled if offered a premade Taco with Mayo on it. Mayo is for Wraps. 3: "Tyrkisk peber" was originally invented by Per Fjelsten in 1976 in Jutland, Denmark and was originally made by the Danish company Perelly, before the company was acquired by Fazer. Fazer is a Finnish Company. So it is a Scandinavian Candy but not Norwegian. Those candy can be ground to powder and mixed with Vodka for a popular Shot called Hot & Sweet, sold at every bar. Other than that tnX for a great video.
Tyrkisk Peber is best when it is mixed with vodka... 3 bags with one bottle vodka. let it brew until all the hard candy are dissolved and serve it chilled! SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!
Please do a review/video of Finland. A beautiful place. The candy is amazing. Tyrkisk Peber (Turkish Pepper) candy is actually from Finland. Salty licorice (Salmiakki) is very popular, but the chocolate is amazing. Especially Geisha chocolate and Minttu. It'd be great to see you girls checking out Finland.
Such a fun video. I think all Norwegian chocolate is the best and there are many variations of the usual milk chocolate that Norway is known for. So interesting to hear what you think about my beautiful country.
Because we have such a cold climate here in Norway, we can have a lot of good things in our chocolate since it will not melt as quickly, like butter and cream. Since ancient times, Scandinavians have eaten a lot of fatty food in the winter to cope with the harsh winters. Big fat dinners were a must.
norwegian shocolade is one of the best in the world, not kidding ( ok, I`m from norway, so maybee I am not objektiv, ) but it is good :D and I love your show :)
Hey Natasha. As you are wearing a star wars t-shirt. Fact: The winter scenes of "the empire strikes back" is filmed in Finse, Norway. Story: Due to another production, Harrison Ford arrived later than the rest of the cast and crew. After landing late in the evening, he was told to go to the trainstation. There he was met by a train operater eager to go home (goverment employees don't work overtime). The operater showed him how to operate the train, handed him a bottle of "Jack" from the production team, wished him good luck and went home. And that's supposedly how he got to the production, a 195km solo trip from Oslo to Finse, operating the train himself.
Hi from Finland 🇫🇮 the last candy you trued the spicy ones are made 8n Finland the company fazer IS Finnish who make them Candy. Most of they Candy is available thout the nortic country's Finland, sweeden, Norway and Denmark. Finland has Salmiakki FAZER, SALMIAKKI, SALTY LIQUORICE it a popler Finnish candy here in Finland 🇫🇮 you should check out gronland and sweeden both country's have a lot of thing to see and offer 😊
Tuo alkuperänen Turkin pippuri on kylläkin tanskalainen keksintö. Keksitty Tanskassa 1976 ja myyty Fazerille 1996. Mut voihan sitä halutessaan suomalaiseks sanoo. Vähä niinku Bentley on nykyään volkkarin omistama ja siten saksalainen automerkki.
1) Norwegians are rarely/ever insulted or offended for any mispronounciations of words or names. 2) The counties did merge , but now there are talk of reverting parts of that work, since one of the counties became enourmous. 3) The whole nation knows about "Taco friday". Basically, a lot of people eat taco every friday. 4) It's not uncommon to have prices around 20-24 kr. per liter for gasoline. At the peak a few years ago, it was as high as 28-29 kroner per liter. 5) Deer meat is really great! It's tasteful and tender. It has about the same amount of Omega 3 and -6 as fish. 100 grams (about 3,5 ounces) of reindeer meat contains the daily recommended intake of Omega 3 and 6.
hello Natasha & Debbie. Sorry about your ta water, here in South Wales my area gets its drinking water from the Brecon Beacons National Park. It’s pure and very soft, not hard like a lot of the UK because we are not a chalky rock area. Tap water here is great. Hazel nuts used to be available from the hedgerows but it’s becoming rare. However, a family member of the hazel nut is the Kent Cob, or Filbert. A much larger nut and very tasty. My dad was a greengrocer/fruiterer and he used to get Filberts in the autumn. Around Christmas we also got the whole range, Brazil’s, Walnuts, coconuts and by the early 70’s the Pecan.
Hi, I’m from Norway, and I think you should have more candy sent over to US for testing. More than happy to send you a package so you can make more candy testing videos! 😊😊
I absolutely LOVE Tyrkisk Pepper. Its is my favorite hard candy in the world. Also, the town Hell. Hell actually means luck in norwegian. But the reactions to it from english speaking people are always funny.
Going to Hell isn't necessarily a bad thing: you can get there by train, is close to a large airport and it also has a music festival ("Blues in Hell", although it's mainly held in the hotel next to the airport). 🙂
Hello Norwegian here.. The Tyrkisk peber.. aka Turkish pepper is a salt drop of licorice and salmiak, which is sold in sachets or as a lollipop. Inside the drop is a strong powder. It is used, among other things, as a cocktail flavor in Norway and the Nordic countries. The Round chocholate you tasted first Melkesjokolade - Milkshocholate the other chocholate roll Smil In English you pronounce Smil S M I L I Like you pronounce I in the alphabet Smile You smile with your face... I use to send Norwegian sweets to my American friends in North Carolina. every Christmas... I also take a couple of boxes with me when I travel over the summer
Great video again. It is always fun to get the perspecitve of others. A litte tip about something we did when we were young and wanted to make a nice drink for the weekend party. If you put the liquorish - Tyrkisk Pepper in a bottle of vodka and let it sit for some days you will have a very nice bottle for drinking shots:)
For our second video looking into the gorgeous country of Norway, we grabbed a handful of Norwegian snacks to taste for the first time from our incredible International Market. This video is highly informative about some of Norway's history, people, geography, culture, wealth and so much more! This was a jam packed episode of all things Norway and we loved it!

If u need any more norwegian candy or food i can send i to you
We absolutely appreciate the offer but we don't accept perishable items. Thank you for thinking of us though, it means a lot!!
Hello from Norway. You guys are so funny. I was laughing so hard about the Voss water. haha
And the "tyrkisk pepper" is my favorite candy! So ruuuude to give it a 1! 😅
If you are interested in Norwegian music, you should check out AURORA and her music video "Queendom" It has become a LGBTQIA2S+ anthem all over the world. She's a touring artist and speak up for the community at every show. She sing that song while running and dancing all over the stage waving the pride flag. She also have a song called "Cure for me". She wrote it because she is so angry about conversion therapy still being legal in several countries. She is a VERY loved artist, because she is so genuine, kind and down to earth. She's also extremely quirky and funny. lol
You guys are great so you got a new subscriber! 🥰
There's even an alcoholic brand with the taste of Tyrkisk Peber (Turkish pepper)
HI Natasha, Hi Debbie,
I adore your Shows and can't wait for your visit to the Britain.
Natasha, Freddie Mercury's stuff is on sale this week at Sotherbys auction house. Freddies' crown and cloak went for over £1 Million yesterday. Its all on UA-cam and things are going for silly money but great to watch!
Take care Ladies
xXx
I do think they mistook sourcream for mayo for the tacos hehe
We thought the same thing
Never heard of anyone using mayonaisse on tacos here, but yeah, sour cream (ours is way better than the US or rest of the world, just fyi). If you ever try the chocolate called "kvikk lunsj" - don't ever compare (at least never say it out loud) it to kitkat 🤬 😂 it's way better and nothing similar 😉
Agree
True, we dont use mayo on taco.
Yeah, our sour cream is pretty good. But have you tried every single type of sour cream in the world? I prefer sour cream form Greece. 😉@@Helge_Torp
Oh, they made such a big mistake in that video. The right to roam does not mean you can go anywhere you want as long as it's not private property. It means you can go anywhere you want even if it _is_ private property. As long as you stay 400m away from any residences, you can pretty much set up tent and stay for two days without asking permission from anyone. The key in Norway is respect. It is called The Law of the City of Kardemomme; «You _must_ not be mean to others, you _shall_ be easy and kind. Apart from that, you can do whatever you want». It's almost literally true. If you can build a reputation for being respectful, helpful, friendly and kind, you can get away with pretty much anything.
On private property it is a maximum of 2 days at the time ;)
@@EmeroDotNet: Yes, that's what I wrote. :)
You can’t camp on infields though 😊
@@lillm6874 Yeah because that'd destroy it
«Melkerull» means «Milky-Roll», «Smil» means «Smile», and «Firkløver» means «Four-Clover»😊 You know that English and Norwegian are closely related languages, right?😄
Norwegian here.... Never heard of mayones on tacos though. Actually, tacos are so common here in the weekends that "Taco Friday" has become a thing.
Pretty sure they confused sour cream for mayo. Don't know how they would have done that, but it's the only explanation that makes sense i think 😅
@@K000H must be!!
Never tried mayo either... But cucumbers I tend to use if a want a typical "Norwegian" tacky taco.
@@Mchiqa cucumber is a must. And mango is actually surprisingly good on Taco!
It can be difficult to tell the difference on some American brands of mayonnaise, some are made with only egg whites and then it probably looks like sour cream.
Keep 'em coming ^^
And; Try out the norwegian candy "Smash" from Nidar. Just a warning though; The side-effect is not being able to stop until the bag is empty...
We are trying to find those, gunnarholst.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow If you don't find it we could have a chat and we might be able to fix that ^^ Would love to see you do a norwegian food/snacks-tasting episode. You already seem to enjoy our milk-chocolate!
@@gunnarholstthat'd be great! 🙏
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Smash is essentially chocolate covered Bugles, and they’re weirdly great.
When I was in the British army I did a 2 month tour in harstad, Norway. Got to sail the fjords and saw the northern lights twice! I fell so in love with the country and it’s people. It’s so beautiful. Years later I did ancestry dna. I was shocked but secretly pleased that I’m 10% Norwegian ❤
Cause if the vikings went over to UK😅
I'm Norwegian, and I've always had a
pull towards the celtic parts of Britain. (Ireland, cornwall, scotland etc...) And my DNA test , very surprisingly, showed my ancestry are 6%, Irish, scottish, welch...
Makes one wonder if there is such a thing as genetic memory "...
I once visited my room mate from college who lived in Harstad. We went there during the winter, and I don't remember a single thing from the place since it was dark outside from the moment we woke up, to the moment we went back to bed. He told me that they only had about 2 hours of sunlight during the winter 😂 All I remember is his house, the nearby grocery store and headlights in the darkness.
I live in Harstad, and has done so since 1965. A great town/city 🙂 We have the biggest guns too, the 4 german Adolf guns from WW2. Intended to be mounted on battleships, but no battleships were built for them. Of the 12 guns built, 4 of them are in Harstad (one is open for public). Some of the other guns were scrapped. The barrel is 20 meters long. I was inside the gun 30 years ago.
@@DillaryHuff I live in Harstad. The darkest period is in late December during x-mas with no sunlight (but a few hours of daylight). But the sun comes back in mid January and eventually shines from the morning to the afternoon in February. No big deal there 😊And then there is the midnight sun. It shines all day and night for 2 months in the summer (except when it's cloudy....).
Firkløver means Four leaf clover. In old days many believed that finding a four leaf clover meant good luck and that good things are coming your way. 🇳🇴
Thanks for that, 1973sonvis!
That's a folkloric belief held in many nations.
from New Zealand here.... heard the saying as young a child.... many decades ago.
Great video!
Full of fun facts!
The Voss bit was pretty funny 😅
Loved seeing the different snacks ❤
Thank you!! 😁
The water in Norway is known for the best in the world, so yes, we have very good and clean spring water. Voss water is one of the best.
No, I have never seen someone use mayonnaise on the tacos. Most use sour cream and salsa sous addition to taco sauce. Don’t mess with our tacos, please.
Tyrkisk Peber isn't Norwegian though.... I guess it might be Danish? Since pepper is spelled "pepper" in Norwegian, "peber" in Danish but "Fazer" is a Finnish producer...But love "Tyrkisk peber", both the candy and the liquer
Origin is Danish and is now Finnish owned.
So lets just call it Nordic since we all love it ☺️
It is originally Danish, but was bought up by Finnish Fazer.
hehe.... have you tried to make the drink yourself? Take a bag of the candy, put it in a 0.5 liter bottle and fill it up with vodka, and let the alcohol disolve the candy. Taste much better than the ones you get at the liquer store@@mckrogh79
Very big in Finland, and im so happy that they brought the yellow variety back, the licorice one.
Hello from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺🌏. The story of Queen Maud of Norway(1869 - 1938) is quite fascinating granddaughter of Queen Victoria and sister of King George V. She married her first cousin Prince Carl of Denmark later King Haakon VII (1872 - 1957).
Also makes her a Cousin to Czar Nickolas and Kaiser Wilhelm as was George V.
I absolutely love liquorice and tyrkisk peber is ont of my favorites, though technically danish it is really popular in Norway 🇳🇴 you're pronunciation of Firkløver was good and please keep trying most of us just fint it fun watching english people stuble over norwegian and especially Æ,Ø,Å 😂 geography now get moat of their stuff right i have never heard of maio on tacos 🌮 but sour cream is pretty common
It's not danish. It's from Finland. As least as of now as Fazer is a finnish company
It's a Danish product made in Finland.
Yeah Fazer is a Finish company.
Loved the reaction! It is nice to see more people learning about Norway!
I would just like to point out that on Svalbard you're not allowed to be burried, so dying is allowed...luckily 😅
All the love from Norway❣
We love everything we are learning about Norway. Thanks for watching sirisolbar.😊
Norwegians don't get upset when people mispronounce our words. We're just happy when someone gives us attention. :D Also, the Tyrkisk Peber is a Swiss brand with Danish writing, I have no idea why it's considered Norwegian. lol
Fazer is Finnish I think?
@@kathrineo7859 is it? Thanks for correcting me. I don't know why I thought it was Swiss.
@@kathrineo7859 Think Denmark bought the company, or it was the other way around, def not Norwegian tho
It`s the other way around 🙂@@kingofmonra .
@@hannacornelialedder1490 Cheers appriciate it.
Great reaction as always - fun that you guys explore Norway. 😄 This video was accurate, but very fast paced. I love licorice as almost every other Norwegian. We mostly import licorice candy from Finland. I think the one you tried is Finnish, but it's a commonly known candy here and sold at every Norwegian supermarked, so I would say it's kind of "Norwegian". Smil (meaning smile) is one of my favorites. Good pronunciation of Firekløver (firekløver = clover)😊We are known for our milk chocolate. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🤗
The chocolate is better than the American because we use milk.
The American chocolate uses dry milk, which is why you get the bitterness. It contains the same enzyme that gives its taste to vomit. :P
Fun fact:
The town York in Jorvik, in the UK was founded by Norwegian vikings.
This means that a small place founded a little later, in the east coast of the US, actually has a name that comes from Norway. ;)
americans also uses the essence of vomit in their chocolate. and no that's not a joke, they use Butyric acid and that is a compound found in milk products and is also present in rancid butter and vomit
If you want to see more about the Lærdal Tunnel channel Megaprojects has a great video about the tunnel, showcasing a bit of the values Norway has when doing construction.
Hi from Norway. I like your show. more of this reaction. Hope some day you come and visit us
Brilliant video. I’m absolutely loving me some Norway and would love to see more!. Amazing effort as always, especially with that last taste test….lol
Really enjoyed this video , the new content is excellent , as always :)
Thanks so much
Norway looks so cool, definitely want to visit one day. All I knew before watching your videos of that country was Roald Dahl was born there, the movie about the invasion during the war and a book about them telling the Russians their sub sank in the 2000s but Putin said "Nah, it's fine" (It wasn't). Feel a bit silly for not wanting to learn more then but so glad I learned through you ladies so cheers!
As we all get older learning about these things and places means so much more
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Roald Dahl was born in Llandaff north of Cardiff, Wales. Both his parents where born in Norway though.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow remember A-ha is norwegian and the Ylvis . Great artists and great music. Ylvis is great humour, should watch. Many videos, not only fox say😂
As a Norwegian I can say that was pretty accurate (for how brief it was). The cultural part was probably the weakest. Nothing untrue, but not as to the point as many of the others. The one thing that was incorrect is that the king and government were in Scotland during WWII. They were in London (England,), and hence Oslo sends a Christmas tree to London as a gift every year. Fun fact: Your "alternate" pronunciation of caramel is quite much as it is pronounced in Norwegian (same A-sound).
Also I wouldn't say 'everyone' owns a Marius genser. It's fairly common, but I'm pretty sure more people don't have one than people who do.
You need to make shots out of the Tyrkisk pepper. One bag into a bottle of vodka and let it rest for a couple of days 😉 best shot ever, way better than tequila 😉
And yes, the information is accurate 👍
Except Natasha is T Total
Well, better than Tequila is a bit like saying drier than water, isn't it? I'd compare it to Sambucca, or if not very experienced with shots, just call it hot'n'sweet, like that store bought stuff. It does taste way better when made from the candy and vodka. Fun fact, you can't do it with pure spirits (96% - illegal in Norway), it has to be some water content, or the candy will not dissolve. Also works with a plethora of other candy, but "Tyrker-shots" are by far the most common. Kongen av Danmark (the king of Denmark candy) works really well too, and most of the non-sugar-free stuff works.
To let it sit is probably better yes! When we were in high school, one evening, me and a friend of mine tried to make a shortcut. We just poured both vodka and tyrkisk pepper into a pot on the stove and boiled it. Let's say, we didn't get drunk that evening. 🤷♀️ All the alcohol evaporated 😅
I’m so glad you’re looking at Norway, it seems like such a great country. You should save the spicy salty liquorice for the kids trick or treats 😂🤣
Hi Ladies, I love the honesty of your reactions. Having just returned from cruising a few Fjords, my much better half and I fell in love with the landscape and people we met, that we are returning next year to sort more of this beautiful country. I look forward to learning more about it with you both. Thank you, and keep them coming.
I was in Norway 3 weeks ago, beautiful throughout, now Im at home in Spain showing my fotos to the guys and gals in the bar. I've done my bit for Nowegian tourism😅
Glad you liked it :) I think Norwegians also do their part for Spanish tourism, although not always in a good way.
Hi 😊 The last candy you tried, is not Norwegian, "Tyrkisk peber" is from Finland 😂
Well living in Norway, in fare north, it's not bad. It's safe, free health care, free school, and nature is great 😊
Yes. Fazer is a Finnish company, but Karl Fazer, the founder could be considered Russian, since The Grand Duchy of Finland was an autonomous state within the Russian Empire when he was born (in 1866). "Tyrkisk Peber" means "Turkish pepper" in Danish 🤦, and people think it's Norwegian. Mind blown yet? 🤯😂
@@AudunWangen
It was originally made by the Danish company Perelly, before the company was acquired by Fazer.
@@lillm6874 Ah. Then it makes a little more sense 😅
@@AudunWangenA little more than a year late, but yes Tyrkisk Peber was invented in Denmark in 1977 and the brand was sold to Finnish Fazer in 1996.
The funny part is that Tyrkisk Peber world wide has become Fazers most sold and sought after product and its litterally something they didnt invent themselves.
My childhood in the 80's had lots of tyrkisk peber in it, since my grandfather worked for Perelly in Denmark, luckily he had retired before it got sold off, he was so proud of his workplace.
I love the fact you both gave "Smil" (Smile) 10s. And you did what the product is intending with the slogan AKA smile ;) Most of us Norwegians love it too, I myself prefer Center from Cloetta. Witch is Swedish I think. (If you can find it, seems like you would really like that too?)
Tyrkisk Peber can be found in all of the Nordic countries. It is my absolute favorite candy ever since my mother gave me one as a toddler (she thought I wouldn't like it, but it backfired). Salty liquorice, or salmiakki is quite popular here (but you either love it or hate it). I am honestly just impressed that you did not spit it out right away like may people do.
If you ever react to Sweden, you should try to get a hold of Djungelvrål, which is like Salmiakki on steroids
Djungelvrål er for søt på innsiden ;-)
Great again girlies, I must get some more chocolate I love it. Love the mirror idea that was amazing yet simple solution. And those blue eyes are just hit you.must go it's on my bucket list. Well done girlies looking forward to more about Norway ❤👏👏👏
Happy to see you guys dive more into our beautiful country :) Yes, we have excellent milk chocolate. I know the Swiss are known for their chocolate, but honestly for me nothing tops ours, lol. I especially love it with air bubbles (makes it melt on the tongue even more) and/or with hazel nuts in it (got both melkerull and firkløver at home).
Your pronounciation attempt wasn't that bad (honestly I am just happy you dared to try, especially going completely blind into it), the hard part is knowing how our vowels sound like (as many of them don't correspond to the english vowel sounds), so gonna attempt to guide you on that. In the three bits, put emphasis on the middle beat of the word fir-klø-ver. The "i" sound is very much like the sound of english words with "ee", the "ø" you would use the vowel sound in the english words "fir"/"fur", and the last bit would be similar to the word "where", just with a more pronouned v-sound and a rolling r.
I don't have a car myself, so the only way I keep up on gas prices nowadays is when I walk past a gas station, and from what I can see gas is now usually 20-25 NOK per liter, with today's exchange rate that makes gas prices between 7-8.8 USD per gallon (in the video it was 17,2 NOK per liter, 7.50 USD per gallon)
As soon as you showed the Voss water bottle, I was anticipating the reaction to that bit of the video, lol. To be fair, we do have really great tap water here. The only thing I would say beats the water we have from the tap melted glacier water as it's so cold and fresh. If you ever hike up to a glacier here, find a stream coming down from the glacier and just fill up your bottle, you will appreciate it.
Don't worry about not liking Tyrkisk pepper, I'm not a liquorish person myself, so I avoid all that stuff like the plague.
If I was to recommend other Norwegian candy to be on the lookout for, here are some suggestions:
Smash (salty corn bugles covered with milk chocolate, I always bring this with me whenever I travel to share with people, it's an addictive salt and sweet combo, I have a Canadian friend who lives in the UK that I've visited and she refers to me as her Smash dealer, because she got so hooked on it, lol)
Smørbukk (another one I always bring with me to introduce to people, the kind I prefer is a hard toffee that slowly soften on your tongue - they do have a softer one with chocolate coating, but I don't think it's as good)
Stratos (milk chocolate with air bubbles, really melts on your tongue)
Fantastic video! I’m really excited to learn more about Norway. Thanks so much ❤
Turkish Peber/Pepper is Danish, but we all eat and share our candies, for the most part.
About our chocolate, it can be more melty as it doesn't have conservatives to keep it from melting, which in return makes it more creamy.
We pride over our chocolate, just saddening that the company is bought and owned by Mondelez.
About the video, there are a few mistakes,
you can die in Svalbard, you just can't be buried in Svalbard, because of the permafrost.
We don't put mayonnaise on Taco, but "rømme dressing", which is closer to Sour cream/Crème fraîche.
Also, about the viking history, Denmark and Sweden were both very active in the Viking age, but mainly focused on different areas.
Sweden went via Finland, Estonia, Russia, there are even theories that the original Russia stem from Swedish Vikings.
Denmark focused mainly on England, even controlled it for a while, also focused around south Europe.
While Norway generally focused around Scotland, Ireland and North America.
But, in many of the conquests, all countries have participated in some form or another.
Often big debates on which famous Viking came from where, like Rollo is debated to be either Danish or Norwegian-Icelandic.
Turkish Pepper is Finnish
"Tyrkisk peber was originally invented by Per Fjelsten in 1976 in Jutland, Denmark and was originally made by the Danish company Perelly, before the company was acquired by Fazer."
@@toreheggelund612 That would be like saying that Freia Melkesjokolade is American, since it's bought/owned by American company Mondelez/Kraft Foods.
@@toreheggelund612 Mondelez is Kraft foods, just changed name 10 years ago.
I will generally call the product from where it was originally created, hence I call it Danish instead of Finnish, unless the recipe has been changed too much from its original.
Albeit, I did not know that Marabou was daughter company of Freia, TIL.
The Tyrkisk Peber is Salmiakki. A Finnish Salty liquorice candy made from ammonium chloride.
To be fair it was created in Denmark. Tyrkisk peber was originally invented by Per Fjelsten in 1976 in Jutland, Denmark and was originally made by the Danish company Perelly, before the company was acquired by Fazer in the 1990's. But yea, loved in all the nordic countries.
@@peacefulminimalist2028 I'm a Brit that lives in Finland now. Here everyone acts like salmiakki is the most Finnidh thing ever. No one has ever mentioned that it was orriginally Danish.
@@lolsaXx Maybe they don't know and just assume it's a Finnish invention. I'm Norwegian and we eat tons of it here too, but I knew it was Danish. Had to look up the details though :)
Another great video 😊
Thank you 🤗
Frazer candy is not Norwegian, Frazer comes from Finland if I remember correctly, but it is sold in Norway, Denmark and Sweden that I know of
It comes from Denmark, but yes Fazer bought the company in the 90's.
Fazer, not Frazer 😉
Love you videos I'm originally from the UK but now live In Finland with my finish husband for the last 16 years
Another good video with plenty of facts. The snacks also looked really nice. Feel I need to see video again as there’s so much information to absorb.
I'm loving that you guys are doing other countries, its really interesting, there are so many countries in Europe to learn about your videos could be endless, YES! and then the rest of the world, I would definately watch any video you react too xx
I adore the fact that you u are learning about my home country. Come to Oslo one day and I promise to give you a guided tour, I actually used to work as a tour guide at Norwegian culture historical museum ❤️
Oh, and yepp correct facts in this one! 👍
"Smil, ment for å deles.". You enjoyed the chocolate/creamed toffee experience as it was created, shared. You're expected to share, so be advised.
Norwegians use Tyrkisk Peber for one purpose only (yeah, I guess you can suck on it as a candy... but):
40 grams of tyrkisk peber
2 tablespoons water.
1/2 lime.
2 dl vodka.
AFTERSKI !! (or apre ski...)
I am learning so much about different countries on this channel. I am learning that l really didn’t know much about Norway so thank you for putting the effort in so we can learn together. I want some of those chocolates 😋 maybe not the salt , pepper ones. But it was entertaining, watching you experienced them 👍❤️🇳🇴
And also, reindeer taco is awesome 🥰 everything reindeer is awesome! The reindeer steak is way better than even wagyu steak 😊
You are right!!!! Best meat I ever had, was dry Reindeer meat that was then grilled on charcoal. Nothing better than that and , it was prepared by Sami people friedns of mine at Finnmarksvida, best summer ever!!!😋😋
Norway is so fascinating, I love the fjords in the country
02:42 some locals, not far from where I live, casually say that they flush their toilet with Voss water.
It's not entirely true, but not entirely wrong either.
The government's water supply, and the Voss factory get their water from approximately the same location.
In Norway we have very high quality tap water. If for some reason any local water supply is contaminated to a level where you can't drink it, it makes the national news.
Very funny ladies. Thanks for this video👍
Nice to see you enjoy norwegian chocolate.❤ It's almost like drugs!😂You just want more and more..Have a great day!😊
So true!
Loving Norway great video alot crammed into it but enjoyed it ❤❤
The guy was talking too fast, but still, a lot of information. The expression that Debbie said "the taste is starting to come out of my nose" had me in stitches. More chocolate is needed.
ladies its Ange
the facts about the country was truly interesting thank you for expanding the countries you're visiting.
those chocolates looked great. n that final hard lolly looked good too. Yes im an aniseed n liquorice fan
You stayed so composed Debbie!!!! What a girl!
Norway looks beautiful place.enjoyrd the video❤
I loved your reaction so much!! I hope you do more! ❤ Hugs and love from Norway🙏🏼❤️
Swede here, the JAPP bar is ours and Turkisk peber is Finnish. Though alot of candies and other things are all over the nordics and ingrained in all the countries which can make it hard to know exactly where its from. Ive seen plenty of "trying swedish candy" videos where Turkisk peber is also presented, but the conpnay Fazer is indeed Finnish.
I've seen like 20 people reacting to this Norway video. But that doesn't stop me from watching it yet again
Really hope you will look into some more Norwegian stuff soon. Like the Lærdaltunnel as you mentioned. We even have a bicycle tunnel.The language, the Sami people. Ferries
I’m loving this Norway trip you’ve got me on! 🤩
by the way, regarding the voss water, what he said about it is actually true. i grew up only half an hour drive away from the factory making voss water, and we had access to a cabin basicly next door to that factory, and the tap water there was comming from the exact same place as the water you drink in those voss bottles.
I visited Norway from Australia in February, around Narvik and surrounding towns. Beautifulllll place! 🇳🇴
Especially from a mountain top viewpoint looking down over all the Fjords and Scandes.
Our tour guide took us on a route explaining and showing all about the pivotal seige and Battles of Narvik in WW2, it's actually insane.
You should watch a video about that!
Wow lots of information in a quick succession 😊
Hi from Oslo 😊Loved this video and your reaction .The facts in the video are all accurate besides mayo on tacos 😂They probably ment Sour cream , no taco in my house fridays without sour cream on top ! Thanks again for a greate video ❣
Taco Friday is a real thing here & many families & friends partake in it.
(I am Norwegian myself & it got to the point where i skipped out on the real Friday tradition every now & then)
A-ha is absolutely Norwegian, and if the only song you know is Take on me you should check out some more of their music. It's an amazing band, still active. They released their 11. studio album in October 2022. I recommend The sun always shines on TV, Manhattan Skyline, Stay on these roads, Summer moved on, Foot of the Mountain and from their last album I'm In. There is a three part documentary about making Take on me, which you might find interesting. The famous keyboard riff was made by the keyboardist Magne Furuholmen when he was 14 years old.
Loved that video. Handsome dude.
And also Ann-frid lyngstad Frida of ABBA is from Norway
@@denplummer1067
Yes, she was born in Norway to a Norwegian mother, but it's really a sad story. If I'm not mistaken, the father was German, which was a problem when she was born just after the war. Therefore, her mother moved with her to Sweden, so I doubt that she has particularly close ties to Norway.
I work in the municipality where the Voss factory is. They draw their water from the same basin and have been tested as chemically identical. My boss keeps his fridge full of Voss bottles that he refills from the tap, as he finds it hilarious to serve to people and point out it's 'free'. Next to where the water is drawn, is one of Europe's largest scout campsites and also a large recreational cabin for the regional mental hospital. So I usually think of Voss-water as water-flavored scout-pee laced with all the drugs.
When I went to Norway I brought back some Salted Liquorish - got mixed reactions from my work colleagues - I liked it
Poor Debbie I didn`t think she was going to make it after that last sweet. Well done ladies another great video 😊
About that chocolate "Smil" ; "It’s perhaps no surprise the advertisement says, 'Created to be shared in 1955. Eaten alone ever since.'"
The tyrkisk pepper is really just for people who already likes it. I personally love turkish pepper because normal licorice is too sweet for me and the spicyness makes it better in my oppinion.
My mother has for years been putting like a bag of turkish pepper into absolute vodka and leaving it to simmer for a few days, it was the first alcohol i tasted that wasnt beer. so good.
I allways find it so fun that americans or anyone else that dont speak norwegian for that matter, try to pronounce the candy in such specific ways. Like 90% of candy brands we got is literally extremly similar to english words, melke rull? Milk roll, firkløver? Four clover (like a four leaf clover), sjokolade? Chocolate. Kvikk lunsj? Quick lunch.
SMIL translate to "smile" in english (of course). This old commercial from the 70s relate to that ua-cam.com/video/ARvaqgTU5KY/v-deo.html He occupies the sales-woman until it`s time for her to close, then orders 10 smiles and starts of an auction to the crowd. Popular stuff that SMILE 😂
1: It is not illegal to "Die" in Svalbard, it is illegal to bury people in the ground, cause of Permafrost. People die up there just as anywhere else.
2: Mayonaise on Taco is not normal. Not a single restaurant i have visited in 35 years have ever offered Mayonaise on Taco's, and most people i know (i know quite a few) vould be repusled if offered a premade Taco with Mayo on it. Mayo is for Wraps.
3: "Tyrkisk peber" was originally invented by Per Fjelsten in 1976 in Jutland, Denmark and was originally made by the Danish company Perelly, before the company was acquired by Fazer. Fazer is a Finnish Company. So it is a Scandinavian Candy but not Norwegian. Those candy can be ground to powder and mixed with Vodka for a popular Shot called Hot & Sweet, sold at every bar.
Other than that tnX for a great video.
Haha,yesterday I had icecream with the toffee chocolate (SMIL-smile in english.)flavour.
Tyrkisk Peber is best when it is mixed with vodka... 3 bags with one bottle vodka. let it brew until all the hard candy are dissolved and serve it chilled! SOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!
Classical Norwegian taco fillings: Ground beef or chicken meat with spice mix, grated cheese, cucumber, tomato, paprika/bellpepper, lettuce of some sort, corn (canned), onion (often red onion), salsa, avocado/guacamole, and sourcream.
That's not at all different than here! Interesting
Thank you for shearing the knowledge of this great pleases. Big ug mujeres hermosas.
Our pleasure!
Please do a review/video of Finland. A beautiful place. The candy is amazing. Tyrkisk Peber (Turkish Pepper) candy is actually from Finland. Salty licorice (Salmiakki) is very popular, but the chocolate is amazing. Especially Geisha chocolate and Minttu. It'd be great to see you girls checking out Finland.
Another amazing video love it
Such a fun video. I think all Norwegian chocolate is the best and there are many variations of the usual milk chocolate that Norway is known for. So interesting to hear what you think about my beautiful country.
Peber is pepper in Danish 👍🏻
Tyrkisk Pepper also comes as a drink/shot, it's pretty hot 😂👍🏻
You should try it 👍🏻
Because we have such a cold climate here in Norway, we can have a lot of good things in our chocolate since it will not melt as quickly, like butter and cream. Since ancient times, Scandinavians have eaten a lot of fatty food in the winter to cope with the harsh winters. Big fat dinners were a must.
SMIL has the slogan: Created to be shared - but contains 13 pieces 😊
Our tap water is supreme. Candy is good too :) great video. greeting from Norway
norwegian shocolade is one of the best in the world, not kidding ( ok, I`m from norway, so maybee I am not objektiv, ) but it is good :D and I love your show :)
Hey Natasha. As you are wearing a star wars t-shirt. Fact: The winter scenes of "the empire strikes back" is filmed in Finse, Norway. Story: Due to another production, Harrison Ford arrived later than the rest of the cast and crew. After landing late in the evening, he was told to go to the trainstation. There he was met by a train operater eager to go home (goverment employees don't work overtime). The operater showed him how to operate the train, handed him a bottle of "Jack" from the production team, wished him good luck and went home. And that's supposedly how he got to the production, a 195km solo trip from Oslo to Finse, operating the train himself.

Tuo alkuperänen Turkin pippuri on kylläkin tanskalainen keksintö. Keksitty Tanskassa 1976 ja myyty Fazerille 1996. Mut voihan sitä halutessaan suomalaiseks sanoo. Vähä niinku Bentley on nykyään volkkarin omistama ja siten saksalainen automerkki.
If you want to try a typical Norwegian snack, it's a biscuit chocolade called Kvikklunch. It's alsto called " Tursjokoladen" ( trip chocolad)
The spicy licorice drops are made by fazer, which is Finnish. Norwegians like it though.
Loved the show . . . ❤❤🇳🇿🇳🇿
1) Norwegians are rarely/ever insulted or offended for any mispronounciations of words or names.
2) The counties did merge , but now there are talk of reverting parts of that work, since one of the counties became enourmous.
3) The whole nation knows about "Taco friday". Basically, a lot of people eat taco every friday.
4) It's not uncommon to have prices around 20-24 kr. per liter for gasoline. At the peak a few years ago, it was as high as 28-29 kroner per liter.
5) Deer meat is really great! It's tasteful and tender. It has about the same amount of Omega 3 and -6 as fish. 100 grams (about 3,5 ounces) of reindeer meat contains the daily recommended intake of Omega 3 and 6.
Oh, a video actually mentioned Rjukan. I live in Rjukan, it's completly dark for 6 months and the mirror helps us to get vitamin D
hello Natasha & Debbie. Sorry about your ta water, here in South Wales my area gets its drinking water from the Brecon Beacons National Park. It’s pure and very soft, not hard like a lot of the UK because we are not a chalky rock area. Tap water here is great.
Hazel nuts used to be available from the hedgerows but it’s becoming rare. However, a family member of the hazel nut is the Kent Cob, or Filbert. A much larger nut and very tasty. My dad was a greengrocer/fruiterer and he used to get Filberts in the autumn. Around Christmas we also got the whole range, Brazil’s, Walnuts, coconuts and by the early 70’s the Pecan.
Hi ladies, the couple I've mentioned before ("Camper Vibe") spent much of last summer in Norway.
Hi, I’m from Norway, and I think you should have more candy sent over to US for testing. More than happy to send you a package so you can make more candy testing videos! 😊😊
The slogan for the Smil candy is meant to be shared. And it contains 13 pieces…
I absolutely LOVE Tyrkisk Pepper. Its is my favorite hard candy in the world. Also, the town Hell. Hell actually means luck in norwegian. But the reactions to it from english speaking people are always funny.
Going to Hell isn't necessarily a bad thing: you can get there by train, is close to a large airport and it also has a music festival ("Blues in Hell", although it's mainly held in the hotel next to the airport). 🙂
Hello Norwegian here..
The Tyrkisk peber.. aka
Turkish pepper is a salt drop of licorice and salmiak, which is sold in sachets or as a lollipop. Inside the drop is a strong powder. It is used, among other things, as a cocktail flavor in Norway and the Nordic countries.
The Round chocholate you tasted first Melkesjokolade - Milkshocholate the other chocholate roll Smil In English you pronounce Smil S M I L
I Like you pronounce I in the alphabet
Smile You smile with your face... I use to send Norwegian sweets to my American friends in North Carolina. every Christmas... I also take a couple of boxes with me when I travel over the summer
North of the artic circle:midnightsun,no sunset in a part of the summer and northern lights in winter😃
Great video again. It is always fun to get the perspecitve of others. A litte tip about something we did when we were young and wanted to make a nice drink for the weekend party. If you put the liquorish - Tyrkisk Pepper in a bottle of vodka and let it sit for some days you will have a very nice bottle for drinking shots:)
My town in the UK has an Norwegian name as the vikings invaded here in the 9th century.
Thank you girls as always
