+Foxnos Welcome to Finland! Here lutefisk is traditionally served with just white gravy... My folks aren't huge fans of it, so I've actually never tried it, and don't exactly have a huge urge to. Reportedly the fish is so bland that basically the only taste comes from the gravy.
FilipMcGee I was doing some cultural research about Scandinavia for a new episode I'm doing: Swedish Hockey Player. Came across this. Check out a video called "Swedishness" :) -Austen
Great video, but you should have served the food with the traditional side dishes, that's when the magic happens! :) This is like serving Thanksgiving turkey without the mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy. That would be pretty sad as well! :)
+Tom Miller I know it's the lye :P And no it really isn't lol. I have tried so many times with the best intentions and each time I'm like "...yuck!". Ruining perfectly good fish like that ;)
+kattentress My trick with lutefisk is to kill off the somewhat foul taste with huge amounts of mustard sauce and bacon. That makes it kind of enjoyable. But not my favorite dish from the Norwegian christmas cuisine.
I see a lot of people talking about the Lye Fish' consistency here. The problem with Lye Fish is that people think it's supposed to have the consistency of jelly. This dish is Northern Norwegian in heritage, and no one from that region is used to having it that way. The gelatinous consistency is a result of southerners making the dish innacurately, serving it, and that wrongful representation becoming part of our culture/horror stories. Lye Fish is supposed to have a quite firm texture to it, no taste of lye, and a clear taste of the dried fish it is made of. One of the better culinary christmas traditions in my opinion. //Baibai
To all the Norwegians claiming that nobody eats this here: I guess you are southerners huh? anyone else would be enlightened enough to realise that even if you don't eat it personally or within your local region, it still exists.
@@hanshie7864 Du kjenner garantert ikkje nokon ekta Vestlendinger viss dei aldri har fortalt om smalahove. Korleis er det eigentleg mogleg å leva i Noreg utan å ha høyrt eller sett det?
Any other Norwegians here that are surprised by the number of Norwegians that don't know of these dishes? I thought most of these where well known around the country? Just out of curiosity, you guys that haven't heard of this food, where in the country are you from?
@@alpertoap Ahahah, har ikke noe imot Osloværinger! Kommentaren var kødd, pekte mot stereotypen om at Osloværinger ikke kan noe om norsk kultur og tradisjoner.
This was so refreshing to watch these special people trying to eat what's set before them. I laughed and watched it over and over. Thank you all for your work.
Hi there, I am a full bodied Norwegian National I imported myself to the US in 1963, and grew up with all these Norwegian delicacies. You forgot to tell how these apparent Norwegian specialties came to exist. Norway is a country where the spring, summer ant autumn is really no more than 5 months of the year, the remainder 7 months are basically Winter. We know that almost no food stuff spoils in the winter. Look in the freezer and you know I am right. The expiration date may be off, but the stuff is alright to eat. That is the same conditions Norwegians found themselves in a few hundred years ago. They had no fridge, but the outdoors was cold enough. As a result the Norwegians invented, or perhaps developed foods that were edible - meaning they did not get sick from eating it. Some of those foods were mentioned in the piece, but some were left unnoticed. My favorite is Gammalost = Old Cheese. This is a basically Swiss type cheese made in the spring but unfortunately not consumed over the summer, and left to rot. The rotting process is relatively sterile because the cheese is left to hang in the air in the Stabbur over the summer. In the autumn when you discover the rotten and worm-infected cheese, most people throw it out, but some are hungry enough to tasted it, they found that it tasted good as long as they did not smell it. This became a Norwegian delicacy called Gammalost. Another Norwegian staple food is Fiskepudding. Fiskepudding is made by grinding fish of any type into a fine mush, bones, intestines and all. Then you add some butter and cream and bake a pudding out of it. It really tastes of nothing and has the consistency of nothing, but you get it for Friday dinner. It takes its name after the milk product that was added to make it palatable. Cream makes it Cream pudding etc, you can get Milk pudding an rømme pudding. Then there is Rømme which is cream that is soured and then fermented according to a specific procedure. This is a revered delicacy that only your parents get to eat, therefore kids want it, and don't know why it is so special. You did cover the Rake process which is special fermentation process normally applied to various types of fish. Thank you. Hans Jørgen Weedon.
While that was fun some of the tastes were misleading. For example no one in his right mind would eat a raspeballe (dumpling) without melted butter or bacon pieces on it. It has no taste on its on. The same goes for the pinnekjøtt. Like another commentater mentioned, without mashed rutebaga as a side its just sad. But I'll give them the sheeps head. Even I balk a little at that. But I've heard the meat is delicious and very tender.But I hope they all get a chance to be at a traditonal Christmas dinner, either out on the town or at home. Thats when the fun really starts. God Jul!
Also, the lutefisk should have been prepared differently. I am only gonna assuke tha they did NOT get grandmothers in to make this food, if anyone can prepare these dishes properly, it is them!
+s1382 excuse me?! pinnekjøtt has no taste on its own? I respectfully disagree, there's a reason there's like zero side dishes for pinnekjøtt.. you don't need it.
Can we just take a moment and question what was said @1:16. Like the way he just mentioned that so none shalant as if everyone knows what wall paper paste taste like.
+Tom Pendragon I feel you. I live in Kuopio finland and two days ago i had made peace with the fact that there is only about 1cm of snow, you know just enough to make the landscape white. Next day i look out the window and BAM it's like september out there.
We don't eat smalahove on christmas eve. Some families from Voss eat smalahove or pork legs one day between 25-31dec, but pinnakjøtt is on most menus there for christmas eve.
+ikdahlv Det smaker utrolig vondt! Var på ett sted i Valdres der man kunne smake alm type ost og all type fisk. Lutefisk og Pultost er det verste på denne jord! haha
I love potato dumplings! If it tasted like dough then it wasn't made right, and it should be served with butter at the very least. According to my grandpa, my great grandmother (who was from Norway) would put a piece of bacon or side pork in each dumpling.
So I was expecting "on behalf of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo I want to apologize for mocking a host country's cuisine and acting like an arrogant guest." Yeah, that would have been what a good guest would do.
Av de rettene, vil jeg bare si at 2 som majoriteten spiser, det vil si 90%+. Tror du misforstod min kommentar. Den tredje mest spiste vil jeg tippe er lutefisk, ettersom det er ganske normalt fra gammelt av. Ser også at Torsk ikke er med her i det hele tatt, noe som er på høyde med lutefisk mange plasser i landet. Uten å sitte med noe fakta, så er dette bare spekulasjoner fra min side av erfaringer jeg har fra det vidstrakte land... God jul.
Oh now you're being silly. Even though it may not apply as a very popular dish, it still has its fair share of younglings that eats/has eaten Smalahove. So saying "no one under 90 eats sheep head" would be a very wrong statement. If you mean "no one" in the terminology of very few, then yes, your statement makes sense, but saying "no one" is wrong. There has to at least be some. It's bound to be,
As a norwegian,i havent seen many of these but i bet they are most likely norwegian christmas foods,and i can assure everybody else that ribbe is DEFINETLY a norwegian christmas dinner. And heres a fact related to it: Norwegians celebrate christmas on everybody elses christmas eve,and open presents after dinner. They spend the 25th doing their hobbies like knitting,playing or anything else.
Lute fisk without white sauce? Anyway lute fisk is one of the things that I like in Christmas. For me the proper way is using oven, because other way it is loosing it's firm texture.
well brave people :)..i would not eat most of it ...but im sure im gone make a perfect roasted turkey with stuffing and cranberry sauce during the holidays :)
the Pinnekjøtt is supposed to be more pink looking? At least that's what ours look like. The one they had in this video was looking kinda white, with a lot of bone??
Yassss!!! Ribbe is my favorite. We had it on Christmas eve. Btw I live in Norway and i have never heard of anyone that eats raspeball at christmas time?!?!
To be honest (i dont know if it is just in our family) the most "regular" thing to eat is ribbe and pinnekjøtt. It no one i know eats "lutfisk" in christmas. No hate♥️
+anoli792007 Actually, since this is in Norway, we call it jul, or "yule" if you want the english version. Besides, it doesn't matter what you call it as long you enjoy it. God jul! :D
LOL! Fun to see! Tho, as a Norwegian I would like to point to the fact that majority of this food, maybe except from rib, and salted lamb bones, are consumed with a major amount of alcohol, simply to kill the bad either bad og non excisting taste. So the more people drink, logically the better the food taste! Also southern Norway have a tradition for cod fish on christmas eve, so that should have been on the list. Never seen raspeball as a christmast food either, but as pointed out! Rib rules 60% of Norway! Thanks for a fun video, now let the Norwegian mbc in US do the same!
Yes you need the other thins we eat too, potato , surkål og slækk! Only thing that is well served here is the rakfisk and the akkevitt, (from Løten destilation) the best in Norway
It’s 2019 three years later period could you guys enjoy more of that food for me? My actual biological grandmother was Norwegian! Sending you a hug in December 2019 skul
The most common Chrismas eve-dinner in Norway is "ribbe". Ribbe is "winning" in every area in Norway beside in west with areas like Bergen. These guys are brave, when they go for our "lutefisk". Because thats almost crime to see it's as food

Great idea guys!
Hvem i helvete er det som spiser raspeball og sauehue til jul?
Smalahove is a old norwegian christmas food. 1:48 XD There are not so many in norway to eat that now.

Sorry for writing problems (i am Norwegian) ♥️♥️
smalahove is spelled wrong and its not a christmas food, its a normal meal in voss
In USA maybe you called it Holiday but in Europe we call it as it is CHRISTMAS.PC level hard.
+anoli792007 Actually, since this is in Norway, we call it jul, or "yule" if you want the english version. Besides, it doesn't matter what you call it as long you enjoy it. God jul! :D
LOL! Fun to see! Tho, as a Norwegian I would like to point to the fact that majority of this food, maybe except from rib, and salted lamb bones, are consumed with a major amount of alcohol, simply to kill the bad either bad og non excisting taste. So the more people drink, logically the better the food taste!
Also southern Norway have a tradition for cod fish on christmas eve, so that should have been on the list. Never seen raspeball as a christmast food either, but as pointed out! Rib rules 60% of Norway! Thanks for a fun video, now let the Norwegian mbc in US do the same!
Awesome watching Americans gripe about food they don't like
1.30 “I love this, smells like christmas” What he ment is he loves it because its 80 fat, to add to the collection.
I like all these dishes, but for sheep's head I just eat the cheeks and eyes -- the rest is for the dog.
Raspeball is sooooo good! I just ate raspeball two days in a row😍
and merry christmas to you too!
we can still be friends even if we dont trade norwegian oil in the Dollar currency yeah?
Yes you need the other thins we eat too, potato , surkål og slækk! Only thing that is well served here is the rakfisk and the akkevitt, (from Løten destilation) the best in Norway
It’s 2019 three years later period could you guys enjoy more of that food for me? My actual biological grandmother was Norwegian! Sending you a hug in December 2019 skul
I swear when I say that I’m Norwegian to my friends they just-
“ :O sAy hELLo”
“Hallo?”
“...”
Happy X-mas to all in USA ambassade in NorWay :-)
... I'm with Alicia on the sheep's head😂
The only thing we actually eat is ribbe... and someone eats pinnekjøtt lol
Great video, great food. I must try it
I love you guys, merry christmas 2017 (A bit early, i know)!
LOL im from norway and thats actually so funny😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
can i try norwegian christmas food?
The most common Chrismas eve-dinner in Norway is "ribbe". Ribbe is "winning" in every area in Norway beside in west with areas like Bergen.
These guys are brave, when they go for our "lutefisk". Because thats almost crime to see it's as food
Ribbe and pinnekjøtt is the most common in my opinion. Never heared of the rest of the food XD
I died at "You look so sad.. but you're dead."
On behalf of Americans, Merry Christmas!
Comes from Norway!🇳🇴❤️
