@usagi1977 you want to talk about nightmare foods in Italy? Here is some: Trippa, sanguinaccio, fish eggs fritters (yes, they are real and they make them in some places in southern italy) and horse steaks.
Moved to Norway two years ago and god do I miss good food. Two weeks ago somebody visited me from France and brought me good french cheese and ham - I almost cried in happiness
@@vintagemoss9578 you mean french cheese or good food in general? Short answer: no Longer answer: I think the variety and quality of food in Norway is really low compared to Central Europe. Last year I was in a grocery store in a little town in Ireland and had way more choices and opportunities than I have here in a bigger Norwegian city. The problem is that the Norwegian food market is close to being a monopoly. So the variety is really not given. And if you find stuff it is drastically overpriced. The french girl visiting and me where buying food and we found a cheese that would cost 2€ max. In France. Here it was 10€. For me everytime I visit my home country of Germany I take a big suitcase with me and come back with a lot of food.
I visited Sons of Norway in Fargo, ND last year. It's an organization for Americans with Norwegian heritage to preserve and learn more about their culture. They hold language classes, teach traditional arts, and have visitors from your country, including the king. And they have their own cafe...that serves American food.
This was the most hilariously funny video I’ve seen in a while. But I’m watching at 1am US EST. And my husband is sleeping so I keep slapping my hand over my mouth. Love you guys! Trash can pop up restaurant. 😂❤️
This is so spot-on! Moved to Norway a few months ago. As much as I love it here, the food has plenty of room for improvement, haha. The anti-spice sentiment is just mindblowing. I jokingly say that Norwegians do not understand what the word "spicy" means--they think "spicy" means it contains any kind of spice, like onion powder.
When I studied German in college, a few of the first words we were taught were: "hell braun und dunkel braun." Why? Thought I. Now I know. They were preparing us for travel to Norway by introducing us to the two basic food groups! This explains a lot about my spouse (whose ancestors were from Northern Europe). He's never had COVID, but even if he had, his sense of taste wouldn't have known the difference. He could live on three servings of peanut butter (creamy style... crunchy is way too risque for him) a day, every day. But if you served him mashed potatoes instead, he would never know the difference. Thanks so much, lads, for explaining why no one in Norway has a problem with obesity.
The best one was the canned pasta. For norwegian taste the same, taste nothing. 1 bay leaf makes everything less depressing.... I haven't laughed so hard in a long time guys, you made my day! ❤😂🎉
This is old style Your Way To Norway which I have missed so much! This was great! Thanks guys!! Keep it coming! By the way, you forgot about frozen pizza.
I have to agree that accepting an invitation to have dinner in a Norwegian home is nerve-wracking. I've encountered the tasteless grunge which I couldn't identify. As for the potatoes, they appeared to be brown, even without the skin, and are served with everything😂😂😂😂
Woohoo, a new video from my favorite Norwegians! This food would make me suicidal, I fear. How grim in a place with wonderful seafood, dairy farms and really interesting wild foods to forage. No wonder you love visiting Portugal. I'm so happy to see nd hear you guys again!
i was living in italy for 2 years (#1 rated) and moved to norway (last rated) and been there for 1.5 years now and gotta say the food is 3 times more expensive and 300 worse it was unbleavable almost. i just could not accept the idea in the beginning that a whole country is incapable of creating one good dish. the only good thing I ate here was a pizza.
I'm so happy you're guys back and keep making us laugh with your excellent humor! I don't care Norwegian cuisine is at the bottom of the top, I cook my fiskesuppe once a month, treat my family and friends with it and everyone loves it! And I would love to try everything you showed here, except that sidewalk sauce of course. And if I were an entrepreneur I'd start a Norwegian restorant in my country for sure!
My Grandma was 5 when her family left Norway. Thank goodness she never learned any of these delicious recipes! She was a wonderful cook. I’ll never forget her homemade bread.
I never had any of that while in Norway. I have cooked Norwegian foods for 60 years, never have I seen something so disgusting. But my Norwegian family migrated to Minnesota. We love to cook and passed that on to our children. Smoke salmon with a touch of honey, buttery creamy mashed potatoes with a bit of dill, fresh peas from our gardens with some mint sauce, lefse along with fresh baked bread and of course for special occasions aquivit. Never canned, processed, chemical laden foods.
That was hard to watch 😂. On the other hand, it’s totally worth the trip just for the trashcan table. ❤🎉 ( love you guys, all the way from Houston,Texas)
Ah, I can't wait to come to Norway for the cuisine! You two have been holding out on us non-Norwegians... shame on you for hoarding all that lovely bown sauce! Good to see you posting again!
When I were a lad, living in the north west of England, one of the regional delicacies was a hearty stew known locally as "scouse". In fact, people from the area around Liverpool, are sometimes referred to as "Scousers". The stew's full name derives from "lobscouse" which isn't too different sounding to "lapskaus". Norway's influence.
I didn't realize that I needed this culinary journey so early on a Tuesday in March, but here we are! Thank you for sharing such delicious delights with us😂 Italy, go home! I wear my YW2N hoodies almost every day, so I'm always thinking about you guys ❤ I've missed you both -so very happy to see you again!
I'm an American and I tried that spaghetti last time I was in Norway. To me, the meat tasted like low quality hot dogs. But then you have absolute bangers like Freia Melkesjokolade and that bacon+cheese spread in a tube that I can't find anywhere in the US (surprisingly)
In the 1960’s my Norwegian aunt moved to California to live with us and she went crazy for our homemade tacos. This video explains why!😂 However, I have to say that I LOVE fish balls. Especially the fried ones. I am Norwegian to the bone.
Haha, awesome story! But you must have Americanized our Fish Balls. (Which is very interesting to learn) I have never seen, tasted or heard about fried ones before. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I think I grew up Norwegian... With the exception of that fish putting, which looks like Fish cheese to me, I ate tasteless and bland, and my favorite food was Chef Boyardee Canned spaghetti and canned ravioli! Thank you Ronalld and Mass for that wonderful exhibition of tasteless Norwegian food. A hello to all the folks who had cameos while throwing away their trash, LOL! Seriously, this video is funny, and awesome!
I'm from Minnesota, where many Norwegians settled. Here the main cuisine is hot dish. Put anything in a hot dish. It all tastes the same. Obviously a Norwegian culinary tradition.
When I was a kid my grandmother would give me fish balls as a treat. With white sauce, And a potato. I loved the spongy texture of the fish balls. When I got older I understood how non Norwegian folks thought we were eating fish private parts, so I didn't talk about it. Now I kind of want some King Oscar tinned fish balls. Yikes.
Lovely to see you’re back to filming. When I visit Norway (hopefully) next year, I now know what to buy in the store for an authentic local dining experience.
funny video. I visited Oslo in July and visited many of the places in your videos based on what you showed us. Don't worry, Australia was ranked very badly as well. And we DO have a Norwegian 'inspired' restaurant in Melbourne Australia - it is even expensive like Norway!
After dreaming of visiting Norway for years and finally getting there in 2019, I fell in love with the country. If I could live there, I would but I don't know if I could cope with the food. I'm a foodie and was so disappointed with the food. 😔
Hilarious and disturbing at the same time, tube fish jelly. 😆 The potatoes and carrots didn't look too bad tho. It's true, I've never seen a Norwegian restaurant. And I've gotta say this explains why Norwegians are thinner than Americans. Okay I told my brother about this and he said it sounds good!
Is fish pudding a comfort food? You've got me curious to try it. What a presentation! I was just wondering where you guys had been a couple days ago! :) Thanks for finally reaching out to us RUclips watchers with your Norway's "favorite" food of Norway presentation, both processed and tasteless. Loved the weird way that Neil (hope I got his name right) kept saying "Yummmmm" and even threw in a "Moooo" once in a while. Somehow my stomach turned at the possibly misleading, even sarcastic, yums delivered. LMAO!
Oh I've so missed you guys. 🤩😎 Two edibles I do enjoy from Norway are Jarlsberg cheese and Gjetost cheese. Jarlsberg is a white with a hint of yellow bendy processed cheese with holes, like a Swiss cheese. The Gjetost is a brown cheese with a taste like caramel. It's brown because the manufacturing process deliberately nearly burns the whey. It gets eaten in really thin slices on brown rye bread. If the slices are too thick it will stick to the roof of your mouth for hours! These two cheeses really are in keeping with the special cuisine colours you described, brun or white! Fun facts: From a choice of 9 cheeses, Jarlsberg is third from the bottom in terms of being healthy & Gjetost is high in saturated fats so is not healthy at all! Come back soon!!😘
Lovely to see you! Hilarious!!!! This sort of reminds me of what my friends and I jokingly refer to as "Lutheran Church Basement Food"--all the kinds of things church ladies in the Midwest will serve after a funeral or some other church-based event. I'm having flashbacks to my grandmother's funeral a couple of years ago--lots of bland casseroles with canned cream of mushroom soup and such. 😂 ( I'm sure you know that with the large number of immigrants from Norway to the US there are various Norwegian restaurants and food festivals, especially in the northern Midwest. Years ago I went to Norsk Høstfest in North Dakota. Though admittedly it's not just Norwegian. It's the first place I ever had krumkake.)
So glad to see and hear you gentlemen again. I hope you both are well! I would try fish pudding. I grew up on Mrs. Paul's fish sticks, and in comparison your fish pudding sounds great! Not so sure about the brown stuff, though, but I'd still try it. Also, I would like to come to Norway to have a Maatpake.
I guess we were very lucky during our 3 weeks in Norway this past December... The dinners included with our stay at the Clarion Collection Bastion Hotel in Oslo were very good all four nights (even if not exactly "fine dining"), as were the breakfasts and daily afternoon fikas. The breakfasts all four of our mornings at the Zander K Hotel in Bergen were also delicious. But I must say that the VERY classic Norwegian fare provided to us 3 times per day on our 11-night Hurtigruten sailing, was not just good -- it was delicious and quite superb (even if some menu offerings were a little strange to we Americans)!!!
The spaghetti in a can looks very good. Pepsi Max is fine. Maybe some of the carrots out of that dinner box, too. My DNA search shows some Norwegian ancestry (from Sunnhordland and Midthordland areas), so, I think that I could choke down (I mean enjoy) some of this food! Cheers!
Awesome to see you back❤ as for the first thing, well, we could call it "Norwegian mozarella"😅😅😅😅as for a non-Norwegian it takes some inner strength to eat it 😂❤🎉
I love that your channel shows the opposite of so many other Norwegian channels. Other channels: "So many great foods here in Norway! The fresh fish!" You: "The best pasta dish in Norway is from a can. Look at those exotic sausages"
In the US, we have a thing called "Spaghetti O's" which is what you showed there but the canned pasta has been made into little circles to make it less messy for children to eat if they're feeding themselves. It also includes little meatballs.
I'm looking forward to having fårikål, vafler, and pølse med lompe in Norway. I've noticed something funny in the U.S. In areas where Norwegians emigrated to in the late 1800s, like the upper Midwest states, you'll sometimes see restaurants that advertise as serving Norwegian food. When you look at the menus they almost always have hamburgers and other American dishes with maybe Belgian waffles and Swedish meatballs. You rarely see much Norwegian food on their menus. Judging by this video I can see why. Has anyone else noticed this?
“Looks like something from your body”… Technically, it is… The German version of the last dish would be that with a salad on the side, slathered in yoghurt sauce. I’m currently in Argentina, though, and all they eat is pizza and empanadas. Anyway - thanks for the new video and the laughs! ❤ I remember canned ravioli - sometimes convenience dumpster food really is food for the soul! 😊
I was actually impressed at Stavanger by an awesome fish dish that they had there. I love this channel, but I wouldn't completely trust that this is the way Norway eats.
You made me curious because I've never seen a Norwegian restaurant, so I searched Google Maps in NYC. All I could find was a small handful of "Scandinavian" restaurants, and a couple of Swedish ones. Oh, and the IKEA Cafe came up - that's it. Offhand I can think of Ethiopian, Afghani, Tibetan and Moroccan (that was second to last on the list) restaurants that I know of but Norway is left out in the cold.
Haha that processed fish something appeared even more tasteless to me cause I was watching it after eating Korean style spicy pork! 😅 Keep doing the great job guys! 🎉
something I read about countries that used the least amount of spices in the food. sweden finland and norway. it seems like in cold climate people use fermentation for food preservation
Greetings to both of you! I've missed your funny, but hopefully exaggerated Norwegian cookery videos. King Oskar sardines are the best! That white stuff would probably be very tasty if you put it in a sauce of hot peppers, garlic, onion and tomato. It would also benefit from a bit of black pepper, basil, and possibly cilantro as well. There is an old European folk tale about stone soup, and this is a spiced up version of that. When I returned from working in Asia, it was difficult to readjust to the white on white bland New England food. Clam chowder usually has just a bit of black pepper, some onion, some potatoes, cream and clams. I suspect that you would like it. Keep up the good work.
Lapskaus is also known in the UK, but known as Lobbscouse I think. Probably spread by sailors, as a simple filling meal. It's also why people from Liverpool are known as 'Scousers' because it's a local dish for them. I think the meat is usually lamb or mutton. I make a version of it but i use chicken or turkey. When my son & I visited Norway in 2017 we lived on bread rolls with cheese & salami. The only meal we had in a restaurant wasn't typically Norwegian but was expensive.
I was about to comment this! A lot of norwegian sailors had Liverpool as their base earlier. Probably one of the reasons why Liverpool FC. has the largest football supporter-Club in Norway!
I read somewhere that the Spaggetthi Alacapri is actually OK in taste for an italian chef. But not the meatballs and sausages, and everything is so soggy
I'm Italian, and I think I'll have nightmares tonight. Great video guys! It's so nice to have you back!
same and I live in Norway 🤣
@usagi1977 you want to talk about nightmare foods in Italy? Here is some: Trippa, sanguinaccio, fish eggs fritters (yes, they are real and they make them in some places in southern italy) and horse steaks.
@@esmeraldagreen1992 I totally agree! That's one of the reasons why I'm vegan! 😀
I'm Italian, I lived there 15 years. My soul is now damaged 🤣
"We don't like it smell too much and we don't like it to taste too much either." Lmao, that cracked me up.
Now this is the old Mads & Ronald we have missed, please keep the informative witty vids coming!! Thanks guys!!!
Moved to Norway two years ago and god do I miss good food. Two weeks ago somebody visited me from France and brought me good french cheese and ham - I almost cried in happiness
😆😆
Once in a Blue Moon is a wonderful thing!
Can’t u buy it there?
@@vintagemoss9578 you mean french cheese or good food in general?
Short answer: no
Longer answer: I think the variety and quality of food in Norway is really low compared to Central Europe. Last year I was in a grocery store in a little town in Ireland and had way more choices and opportunities than I have here in a bigger Norwegian city.
The problem is that the Norwegian food market is close to being a monopoly. So the variety is really not given.
And if you find stuff it is drastically overpriced.
The french girl visiting and me where buying food and we found a cheese that would cost 2€ max. In France. Here it was 10€.
For me everytime I visit my home country of Germany I take a big suitcase with me and come back with a lot of food.
Understand, don't move to Sweden next. Stockholm has good food, but get out in the countryside... pretty tasteless too.
Please don’t stop posting videos, we really enjoy this format
My Norwegian grandmother told me that the best way to serve lutefisk is to run it through the rinse cycle of the dishwasher first. 😂
Sounds so familiar 😆😆😆
Yuuuck! Fishy 🐟. No bueno
It would act as dishwasher cleaner as well.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
I visited Sons of Norway in Fargo, ND last year. It's an organization for Americans with Norwegian heritage to preserve and learn more about their culture. They hold language classes, teach traditional arts, and have visitors from your country, including the king. And they have their own cafe...that serves American food.
Haha. Thanks for sharing! ;)
Serves AMERICAN food? Can you blame them?
I triple dog dare you to serve this stuff next meeting 😂😂😂
Welcome back, Ronald! I miss your videos.
I hope that Mads is feeling a lot better now
This was the most hilariously funny video I’ve seen in a while. But I’m watching at 1am US EST. And my husband is sleeping so I keep slapping my hand over my mouth. Love you guys! Trash can pop up restaurant. 😂❤️
I love that you guys are out in the rain, by the dumpster, and set up on trash bins! Classy!
This is so spot-on! Moved to Norway a few months ago. As much as I love it here, the food has plenty of room for improvement, haha. The anti-spice sentiment is just mindblowing. I jokingly say that Norwegians do not understand what the word "spicy" means--they think "spicy" means it contains any kind of spice, like onion powder.
That is why 'Gods' created Amazon. Order your own spices
This has to be your funniest video ever. Loved how the 2 of you presented these culinary "treasures" with a straight face.
When I studied German in college, a few of the first words we were taught were: "hell braun und dunkel braun." Why? Thought I. Now I know. They were preparing us for travel to Norway by introducing us to the two basic food groups!
This explains a lot about my spouse (whose ancestors were from Northern Europe). He's never had COVID, but even if he had, his sense of taste wouldn't have known the difference. He could live on three servings of peanut butter (creamy style... crunchy is way too risque for him) a day, every day. But if you served him mashed potatoes instead, he would never know the difference.
Thanks so much, lads, for explaining why no one in Norway has a problem with obesity.
It just hit me - You're displaying the plates of food on top of a garbage bin! Love your humor.
"Food that has been stored for many years."😂 I missed you guys. I'm glad you're back! ❤
The best one was the canned pasta. For norwegian taste the same, taste nothing. 1 bay leaf makes everything less depressing.... I haven't laughed so hard in a long time guys, you made my day! ❤😂🎉

Lovely to see you're posting again. As always fun information. Thanks.
"Crushed pasta!" "Slushy!" Such a great video guys! Thanks for the laughs 😂
I have to agree that accepting an invitation to have dinner in a Norwegian home is nerve-wracking. I've encountered the tasteless grunge which I couldn't identify. As for the potatoes, they appeared to be brown, even without the skin, and are served with everything😂😂😂😂
😆😆
@@YOURWAY2NORWAY The skin is the best part of a potato.

Ah I love the mix of actual facts and sarcasm that is not really sarcasm but pure reality! 😂 love you guys!! ❤🇳🇴
Woohoo, a new video from my favorite Norwegians! This food would make me suicidal, I fear. How grim in a place with wonderful seafood, dairy farms and really interesting wild foods to forage. No wonder you love visiting Portugal. I'm so happy to see nd hear you guys again!

My Grandma was 5 when her family left Norway. Thank goodness she never learned any of these delicious recipes! She was a wonderful cook. I’ll never forget her homemade bread.
Don't you want to experience your heritage? Eat lutefisk and know what it is to be Norwegian!!
Thats because this man does not represent all norwegians. This is mostly bullshit.
@@hilarygilliksen7703 😂 I tried lutefisk once. And only once. That was enough.
@@VeretenoVids That's all it takes to be a true Norwegian. I, too felt once was quite enough!
@@VeretenoVids You should try Swedish surströmming. I bet you will love it!
What really adds to the humor of this video is that they're presenting the food on top of a trash can

In the US, we have a thing called "Spaghetti O's" which is what you showed there but the canned pasta has been made into little circles to make it less messy for children to eat if they're feeding themselves. It also includes little meatballs.
Welcome back guys! How can we support you to make more funny videos?
What a fun video! It's so funny how you make fun of Norwegian culture. Keep it up!
From West Hollywood, California.
Welcome back. I have missed your vlogs.
I'm looking forward to having fårikål, vafler, and pølse med lompe in Norway.
I've noticed something funny in the U.S. In areas where Norwegians emigrated to in the late 1800s, like the upper Midwest states, you'll sometimes see restaurants that advertise as serving Norwegian food. When you look at the menus they almost always have hamburgers and other American dishes with maybe Belgian waffles and Swedish meatballs. You rarely see much Norwegian food on their menus. Judging by this video I can see why. Has anyone else noticed this?
I love lapskaus! At least the homemade version. Yes, in Minnesota we have Norwegian restaurants, but Minnesota is just basically mini-Norway.
I'll be visiting the Mall of America this autumn, any Norwegian restaurants in that vast place?! I'm from North Dakota originally, so really hope so!
Tacos on Friday’s and frozen pizza everywhere. It’s hard to believe Norway rates last.
“Looks like something from your body”… Technically, it is… The German version of the last dish would be that with a salad on the side, slathered in yoghurt sauce. I’m currently in Argentina, though, and all they eat is pizza and empanadas.
Anyway - thanks for the new video and the laughs! ❤ I remember canned ravioli - sometimes convenience dumpster food really is food for the soul! 😊
Great to have you back! The last part with scooping of the brown sauce…. Are you sure? 😂
I was actually impressed at Stavanger by an awesome fish dish that they had there. I love this channel, but I wouldn't completely trust that this is the way Norway eats.
I will keep this in mind. I went to Tromso in January of this year and now I understand the struggle to find a little spice in the food.
Hello from Arroteia ! (right next to Pedras D'el Rei) Great to see you're back
Hello, Arroteia!! Hola, tudo-bem? How is the weather? Best Mads 😊
I have a friend from Norway that has since moved to Thailand and I have to ask him what he thinks about the food! Great funny video!
This is the lowest budget videos I've ever seen, but I love it
He he. It is. Best Mads 😂
The food is hilarious! Can I just say I love your coat, though? It looks very warm and it's a beautiful color.
It sort of makes sense, I mean it's too cold grow fruits and vegetables all year, so canned food would be a big part of the diet.
I was halfway through the video before I noticed that you guys had set up in front of a Dumpster! 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm not sure I can ever eat gravy ever again.... The fact a rubbish bin served as a table seems somewhat appropriate..you guys crack me up. Love it!
You made me curious because I've never seen a Norwegian restaurant, so I searched Google Maps in NYC. All I could find was a small handful of "Scandinavian" restaurants, and a couple of Swedish ones. Oh, and the IKEA Cafe came up - that's it. Offhand I can think of Ethiopian, Afghani, Tibetan and Moroccan (that was second to last on the list) restaurants that I know of but Norway is left out in the cold.
Haha that processed fish something appeared even more tasteless to me cause I was watching it after eating Korean style spicy pork! 😅
Keep doing the great job guys! 🎉
What is so sad is that Moroccan food is at the bottom on that same list, next to Norwegian. Well Moroccan food is spectacular. So sad really.
The brown sauce! You guys are hilarious 😄✨
In a restaurant I'll expect fresh chopped parsley on the lapskaus. 😂
something I read about countries that used the least amount of spices in the food. sweden finland and norway. it seems like in cold climate people use fermentation for food preservation
happy to see you again, welcome back.
Oh it’s great to have you back ! ❤️
Greetings to both of you! I've missed your funny, but hopefully exaggerated Norwegian cookery videos. King Oskar sardines are the best! That white stuff would probably be very tasty if you put it in a sauce of hot peppers, garlic, onion and tomato. It would also benefit from a bit of black pepper, basil, and possibly cilantro as well. There is an old European folk tale about stone soup, and this is a spiced up version of that.
When I returned from working in Asia, it was difficult to readjust to the white on white bland New England food. Clam chowder usually has just a bit of black pepper, some onion, some potatoes, cream and clams. I suspect that you would like it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing :):)
Lapskaus is also known in the UK, but known as Lobbscouse I think. Probably spread by sailors, as a simple filling meal. It's also why people from Liverpool are known as 'Scousers' because it's a local dish for them. I think the meat is usually lamb or mutton. I make a version of it but i use chicken or turkey. When my son & I visited Norway in 2017 we lived on bread rolls with cheese & salami. The only meal we had in a restaurant wasn't typically Norwegian but was expensive.
Cool to learn! Thanks for sharing:)
I was about to comment this! A lot of norwegian sailors had Liverpool as their base earlier. Probably one of the reasons why Liverpool FC. has the largest football supporter-Club in Norway!
I read somewhere that the Spaggetthi Alacapri is actually OK in taste for an italian chef. But not the meatballs and sausages, and everything is so soggy
