My son's class is tasked with making a dish from a certain country. He lucked up and got Norway bestowed on him, as opposed to tough to duplicate culinary places like Mexico, Spain, Italy etc. Leader in the club house for something he(we) can make right now is Norwegian meatballs, but I am open to other suggestions. Would prefer to ere on the easy side. Can be an entrée, app, dessert, whatever. Tia to any Scandinavian food mavens out there in TD F&D land

Lefse. It's like a Norwegian crepe.

This guy has a cooking show on PBS I watch. LINK. He is Norwegian and most of what he cooks are traditional Norwegian dishes but modernuzed. Lots of cod and reindeer but looks pretty good.

A crayfish party would have been a hoot but that is Sweden I believe.

We used to have a Norwegian who worked for us. He even joked all the foods from his country sucked, but he still loved them. The rotten fish in a can was his favorite

Hi Balls,

This one looks good to me and I bet it could be made in the waffle iron or on a flat griddle. Dip in chocolate.

Recipe found on internet. I am not a Norwegian cook.

Edited to add:

I see on that recipe page where there is a recipe for an orange one. That one, dipped in dark chocolate would win him a school prize.

Have the young man present a few cans of King Oscar sardines and Kipper snacks.

The only Norwegian dish I'm aware of is Lutefisk, which is salted and dried whitefish, pickled in lye, and rehydrated.

If you can find it, I'd go with brunost, a brown, soft cheese that tastes like caramel and has the texture of fudge.

Would be very popular with the youths served on crackers.

Brunost is considered an important part of Norwegian gastronomical heritage and cultural identity.

Skolebrod. It's a custard-filled sweet roll that has a history as a popular treat served in schools and/or bake sales, so it ties in perfectly with this assignment.

that's where I know it from.

I'm willing to try pretty much any food at least once. I honestly don't know if would give lutefisk a shot if offered.

If you think Lutefisk is nasty, that shite has nothing on Icelandic Hákarl.

I have a fraternity brother who's from Iceland and brought that stuff over one day for us to try. That was a fun evening.
