Salmon reigns supreme among fish in the Norwegian diet. If it were up to us, we’d exclusively eat salmon in Norway – smoked, cured or raw. It doesn’t matter.

Kjøttkaker (Norwegian Meatballs)

While in Norway, we scratched our carnivorous itch with Kjøttkaker, hearty Norwegian meatballs made with seasoned minced meat, onions and seasonings.

Vafler (Waffles)

A simple yet tasty food in Norway thanks to toppings like chocolate, sugar, and jam. Food travelers can eat waffles at cafes and food halls in most Norwegian cities.

Some people even eat the unique brown cheese every day of the week as part of a traditional Norwegian breakfast or as an energizing snack.
