"As a country Norway has the world’s highest per capita consumption of both frozen pizza and microwave popcorn. More than 5 kg of frozen pizza is consumed per head each year. Frozen pizza is considered a national dish by nationals and immigrants alike."

God help me.

    Seriously? Wow, learn something new every day.

    Who knew? 'course, I was rather of the opinion that Norwegians ate nothing but fish and lefse. :laugh: (Kidding!)

    In Sweden their most popular pizza is Kebab Pizza which has gyro meat, cucumber/garlic sauce, onions, peppers, tomatoes and lettuce on it - maybe some other stuff I can't remember, too. Before I had gone over there for two weeks I had NEVER heard of it.

    I had no idea that Scandanavians had a weakness for pizza!

    Everything in moderation - try to eat the thin crust and steer
    clear of the fatty meat toppings and fill up on salads when ya

    There's potential that I'll be going to Norway in about a year. I'm really looking forward to it, not necessarily because of the pizza though!!

    This is my third time, it's ok. I'd recommend Sweden or Denmark over it but it depends what you're wanting to come for.. Just be prepared to step back into the 1980s with an extremely high price tag for everything.. Takes a bit to get used to! :D

    Hahahaha no.. Lutefisk is just bland nothing too amazing about it.. My favourite meal is pinekjøtt, a christmas meal from Western Norway sooo damn good. Would hate to think about the nutrition of it!
