In Scandinavia,
the winters are long and cold and therefore, the people love to celebrate
spring and summer with delicious food. Norway has a very long coast line
with the famous fjords. Fish is popular like in other Scandinavian countries.
But also moose is served, and sheep, or at least used to be served. The
Norwegians are fond of the fresh berries
(red currants, raspberries,
blueberries and cranberries to name a few), which grow abundantly, and you
will find them back in many desserts. Sour cream is also often used. Furthermore
salmon, cod, herring, anchovies and dried fish, which used to be especially
convenient in the long winter. Special days and historical events in Norway, on which you may want to serve these dishes, are 17 May, Constitution Day; 7th of June, Union Dissolution Day (1905); and 25 September, when Norway formally rejected membership of the European Community in 1972.
