rights of passage of living in norway =)
it was very good!! mystery meat... and poteter, løk,paprika, og ikke minst TYTTEBÆRSYLTETØY! (potatoes, onions, peppers... and berry jam that you always have with meat!!). and the norwegian specialty that i didn't recognize... they didn't tell me what it was until after dinner, so i could enjoy it unbiasedly!
hartvig: are you skeptical?
me: uh, no... just...curious!
hartvig: that's just a nice word for skeptical!
haha.. okay, so secret norwegian specialty turned out to be "blodpølse som er lagd av blod(42%) kjøtt og fett fra storfe og gris, sukker, rosiner, mel fra ulike kornsorter, krydder, og andre tilsetningsstoffer."
which, in english translates to:
"Blood sausage... made of 42% blood; meat and fat from (storfe? im not even sure what animal that is?!) and pig... and sugar, raisins & different kinds of grains"!!! oh dear..
hartvig, after telling me what i'd eaten! haha... but really, it wasn't so bad, it was pretty tasty (although im glad i didnt know what it was before)!!
hehe.. and after dinner, we went out and they intiated me into...
the life of a hunter! these guys have beaver skins, badger skins, deer skins.. a giant moosehead... in their house! you name it, hartvig & gunnstein have hunted it! =) (and they're really fun & hardcore outdoorsy... they lived in a tent near campus all last semester!!)
me with, fortunately, an air gun.
hehe.. and as a little token of appreciation for the authentic norwegian experiences...
we had a nice CANADIAN breakfast at my place this morning, with pancakes and real canadian maple syrup! =)
det var kjempe gøy, mine venner!! takk for det!! Gud velsigne dere!
