  • Hello guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new around here, welcome, I'm glad you stopped by, here you will find all things food, travel, Disney & fitness related (a mixed bag really).
    I'm back with Craig in this video & we are trying snacks from Norway. We recently travelled there so thought it was only fitting we picked up some of their popular snacks to try. Let me know if you guys have tried any & keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Norway cruise.
    Anyway enough of my rambles, I hope you enjoy & thanks for watching! Sending love & positivity as always.

    The writing on the Kvikk Lunsj wrapper is probably "Fjellvettreglene",
    which translates to "The mountain code" which is a set of guidelines that'll keep you safe when hiking in the mountains.
    These are the rules in english:
    1. Plan your trip and inform others about the route you have selected.
    2. Adapt the planned routes according to ability and conditions.
    3. Pay attention to the weather and the avalanche warnings.
    4. Be prepared for bad weather and frost, even on short trips.
    5. Bring the necessary equipment so you can help yourself and others.
    6. Choose safe routes. Recognize avalanche terrain and unsafe ice.
    7. Use a map and a compass. Always know where you are.
    8. Don’t be ashamed to turn around.
    9. Conserve your energy and seek shelter if necessary.

    Norway's brown cheese is technically not cheese at all. Its main ingredient is the whey left behind after curds have been removed in the cheesemaking process. As a by-product of the cheesemaking process, brown cheese is a classic example of wasting nothing. Leftover whey from the cheesemaking process is boiled down until it caramelizes.

      @@littleniks Whey, the byproduct of making cheese and butter, is basically all water and lactose (dairy sugar). The process of boiling whey down to a sweet concentrate is similar to how tree saps (maple and birch) and plant juices (sugar cane etc.), the difference is that Norwegian brown cheese has dairy added back into the "caramel" to make it a block of 'fudge-like cheese'. Norwegian brown cheese has many different styles that wildly change the flavor, the one you tried is called "Fløtemys" which has heavy cream from cows milk added at the end (fløte = heavy cream, mys = whey). Other variations can have goat or sheeps milk/heavy cream blended in different rates with cows milk/heavy cream. Typically the more goat milk/heavy cream the "sharper" the taste is, the one you tried "Fløtemys" is the mildest style with little to no sharpness. We also have seasonal spices added to the "Fløtemys" when autumn and christmas comes around, they're always a favorite in our household.
      And yes, having a bit of sweet jam with Norwegian brown cheese is a must- especially if you eat one of the sharp styles. It's remarkably similar to the Peanutbutter and Jam combination, it even has a bit of that "drymouth" or "clawing" character. Only Peanutbutter has zero tartness or sweetness (unless added with sugars).

    The Kim's brand is originally Danish, but is now owned by a Norwegian company. Other than that, everything is pure Norwegian. The whole idea with the Laban Seigmenner is that they are stretchy.

Last time I got them I randomly read the backside of the package and your supposed to have them with milk. I would say I prefer them without tho. Just Straight out of the package.

    0:44 - what do you mean? Crossover between Norway and Sweden or between NI and Norway? As a Norwegian, I don´t think we have a lot of common ground when it comes to any kind of foodstuff. I mean, we buy a lot of our snacks in Sweden, but the border shops are more Norwegian than Swedish in and of themselves. In general, I think it´s fair to say that the Swedish taste is a lot more towards the sweet, whilst Norwegians often prefer sour or salty.

I love that you actually broke the "fingers" off to eat one at a time, the proper way! We´ll get a hizzy fit up here when people try to take a bite out of the entire plate ;)
    5:48 - My favourite type of chips! Yeah, they are "high quality" if you´d like to call fatty, salty snacks quality ;) You should really try "Spansk paprika" though, they´re even better than this one IMO. If you want Norwegian tradition, I´d say you need Maarud´s "Ost & Løk" though. They´re cheese and onion flavour, and a very popular "staple" snack in Norway :)

    12:25 - yeah, Reindeer are farmed for eating, and we have a lot of Moose that´s very good eating as well. Whale is not all that common, but sure, some people like that as well. It´s mammal meat, like a steak, but with a weird fishy taste as far as I´m concerned. Whenever you see "Viking" on any package in Norway, well that´s a sure sign that it´s for tourists... That does not include any museums or attractions otherwise.

    That whale snack sausage is not very common I think. I've never seen anything like that, and my town was known for whale hunting back in the 60's so it should have been available here, but I think they have a lot in Oslo that we can't get here 1,5 hour south of Oslo. I'm a vegetarian so I won't eat it anyway, but I used to work in a grocery store, so I would have seen it if a lot of people bought it.
    The brown cheese, especially that light one, is better on bread or crispy bread. People also eat it on waffles and on Christmas cake (I don't know if that's a special Norwegian cake). Sometimes people would put strawberry or raspberry jam on top or under the brown cheese on the bread slice, but I don't like brunost at all, it's too sticky and sweet for me, and I had a traumatic experience with brown cheese stick to my braces when I was 13-14 and I didn't see it but some other kids did and made fun of it. It's funny now, but back then it was like the worst thing ever and my life was over, for sure 😂.
    The Sørlands is not very expensive, actually the other chips with that particular flavour are more expensive, snacks in general are very expensive here, especially chocolate as the prices sky rocketed a few weeks ago because the price on cocoa are high because of the weather ruined the harvest last year and this year too. Hopefully it will go down next year, I miss chocolate 🍫 but it's to expensive for me now with 30 NOK (2,13 £) for a very small chocolate. A big chocolate would be 4.95 £. 😢

    • @littleniks

      Hey, firstly thank you for watching & also for the lovely comment.
      I love hearing what your guys think of the snacks etc. Funny a few people have said they have never seen the whale sold like that. We did debate if it was maybe a thing done for tourists as we got it in a very touristy shop. However we did also spot it in the Fish Market ( but again It was on a tourist spot). So it's fascinating to know you have never even seen anything like that.
      I've now tried the brown cheese on bread & I can confirm I do indeed love it. We don't seem to have anything similar over here, so maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. Also oh my goodness I can also imagine back when you were 13-14 & it getting stuck to your braces it would have felt like the worst thing ever then.
      Also that's interesting about the crisps, I was convinced they would have been a more expensive brand, the crisps also tasted great, they had a great flavour.
      It's sad to hear that the prices are so high at the minute after the bad weather. Hopefully it goes down so you can enjoy all of that yummy chocolate again.
      Have a great day, also thank you for watching :)

    Great review. A good selection of popular Norwegian snacks.
    Kvikk Lunsj (quick lunch) is probably the most Norwegian thing there. It's far superior to Kitkat because the chocolate is better as you noticed. Norwegians are proud of that. Norwegians typically have them when they go on their many long walks.
    One thing. You missed out on salty liquorice. Very popular in Norway. Not to everyone's taste but I love it.

    Cool that you liked Norwegian foods 👍 I saw somewhere online that Norway is actually known for really boring food, and im not sure how they came to that conclusion. I guess some of the traditional dishes can be a bit bland (or even distasteful like boiled cod, torskerogn, lungemos, smalahove, and syltelabber) compared to more flavorful foods with a lot of spices, but what kinda weirdo doesnt like fårikål, pinnekjøtt, ribbe, kjøttkaker, pork chops, or "flesk i duppe"? 💀
