I've never, ever, seen anyone use mayo on their tacos. Love from a Norwegian.

Great video as always, but no oil was not the reason the Germans invaded Norway (because oil was not discovered up until the late 1960s).

You're thinking of Surströmming. It is Swedish.

[Peg__]

Yep! Born and raised in Minnesota, Scandinavian parents and can speak Norsk. (some Swede too)
*We celebrate St.Lucia (SV) around Christmas and eat lots of elk, krumkake, lefse, and pickled herring at gatherings.
*Lutefisk is only eaten by being dared to, or if you are the loser in a game. (Sorry Gramps)
* And we enjoy the challenge of fixing stuff by ourselves, but if you offer help it's impolite to say no.
* We always offer coffee to anyone who stops by. If they say no, then we offer them a multitude of other beverages we keep on hand in a seperate fridge, just for said occasion. No one leaves without drinking or eating something.

the cabbins with no wifi is like a get away from all common, its a way to relax away form all media pressure and news

[pako]

Norway actually held back the German invasion for 2 months.

Who ever told them that we put Mayo on the taco was 100% messing with them. No one puts Mayo on their taco.

A fjord is essentially a long and narrow ocean water inlet. We have quite a few smaller ones in Denmark as well. One of which went so far inland that when a stormflood happened nearly 200 years ago, it turned the fjord into a canal and turned part of a peninsula into an island.

The show Alt for Norge/All for Norway is on youtube, 7 seasons, all of them.

[voldesign]

A fjord can be 1000 m deep, with 1000 m high mountain walls on each side.

[fastenmoe]

Norway did not have the oil, during ww2

[dinam]

We do use a lot of public transportation! Especially here in Oslo. I've lived here basically all my life and never needed a car.

[bobwoolerOriGinal]

The Christmas tree-thing is between Norway and England (London).

[ellinor]

Thank you for your informative video. Good to see that not alll Americans are disinterested in other countries. I have lived in Canada most of my life and now returned at last to my home country. Wonderful. It is not always cold here. Beautiful weather as well. Especially in the south coastal regions. Thanks for video. I learned about my own country!

[systerkeno]

The fish you talk about is Swedish surströmming, fermented herring. The reason many think its uneatable is because they do it the wrong way. The can must be opened underwater and it should be served with other traditional food. Also, alcohol. We also have lutfisk just as Norway.

[knittingnickel]

Lefse! How come nobody talked about lefse? That's actually good, lol.

[audhumbla]

The stinky fish is swedish, but its only stinky if you open it the wrong way like everybody and get the juices everywhere. youre supposed to open it under water!! thats the trick, eat with onion and it will be great

[Animeyou]

No, Britain wanted to occupy the Swedish iron mines, which were exporting iron ore through Norway to Germany

[Lleanlleawrg]

A fjord is essentially like an open ended canyon that pushes out into the sea.

The fuel prices are high yeah. But our wages are pretty good.

I have no interest in selling this country as a tourism destination for most people, but I have recommended moving here to some of my american friends.

Our food is an acquired taste. A whole lot of us suck at cooking, after the whole 1970s freeze dried soup and stew meals took over. But in recent years cooking has become trendier again. The key to Norwegian cooking is to balance a lot of side dishes to make the whole. We live in a cold climate with little farmland, so our ancestors got good at preserving for the winter, by salting, smoking, fermenting, pickling, candying, etc. With a huge coastline there's of course a lot of seafood so yeah, preserved fish is a staple born of necessity. More of a cultural memory or quaint tradition now.
