[edit] Horse meat

The following text was added without citation:

Horse is often put in some sauseges.

This seems suspect, I will revert pending verification. Gaius Cornelius 18:08, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

This is correct. There's a type of light sausage, eaten cold ("spekepølse", do the English have only one term for sausages?), that has horse meat in it. One brand is "stabburspølse" but there are others. I could upload a picture of the package but that seems silly just to win this discussion eyh? I'll improve the article anyway.

Thanks for clearing that up. There is no question of "winning": I did not know whether the statement was true or not, but it was an anonymous edit of just the sort that sometimes turns out to be vandalism. I was just doing my wiki-duty - I fix a lot of vandalism. By-the-way: yes, the English speaking world has only one word for sausage although there are specific types and borrowed words from other languages are frequenty used. Thanks again.

Gammelost It says that it is an overly matured cheese, while it is the cheese that is freshest when it get to stores, beeing only about 4 weeks old.

[edit] Conclussion

"Santa Claus pizza and blue whale burgers are Norwegian variants to these international staples.

As a norwegian, i have never heard about Santa Claus pizza or "Julenissepizza" wich i figure it would be called in norwegian. i also find the lack of influence of kebabs and garlics and other spices strange, since the average norwegian dont have the time to prepare typical norwegian meals. this comment was writtened a bit clumsy, but adding the facts that we use a lot of fastfoods, like pizza, burgers and others, would give a better impression on how we really eat in norway.

[edit] Sheep heads and other fun stuff

I think we lack sheep's heads here, not to mention all the nice food from Trøndelag (sodd, klenning, tjukkmjølk etc). Where is raspeball, storfeskball and kumle? There is also far more cheese than gamalost (and better tasting too..!). And since it is the season to be merry: What about ribbe, pinnekjøtt and all the wonders of the yule feast? :) This is definitely extremely traditional norwegian food. How anyone can say pizza is part of the traditional norwegian CUISINE is pretty far out. SWA 22:47, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

EDIT: I didn't see smalahove and pinnekjøtt already was mentioned.. sorry. SWA 22:49, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

i want to be admitted
