It is very different planning a day of sightseeing when you have three little people but they have been great. As long as the backpack has snacks and lunch they are happy little tourists. Prices at restaurants are exorbitant; a steak in a pretty average restaurant is NOK 360 which is close to R600! An average large pizza is NOK240. So it is in fact cheaper for us to buy salmon for the whole family than it is for us to get take away pizza, which is not a bad problem to have. Picnic lunches always take us to interesting and beautiful places and any place outside = a play area for our kids.
These are a few of our favourite things: salmon, bolle ( a Norwegian sweet bun), pepperkakor (ginger biscuit), breads (whole grain and seeded) berries and tacos. I know the last one doesn't seem to fit because it's Mexican but it has become a tradition for many Norwegians have tacos on a Friday evening. So,when Rome...

Thanks Tania for sharing. Seems like the Swedes have a lot in common with the Norwegian (okay that is an outsider view!). Have you tried Glugg (spicy wine that they drink this time of year). ENJOY the salmon, we envy you! Jana
ReplyDeleteHi Jana
ReplyDeleteWe are drinking up every new experience. Last night we were treated to a traditional lamb and cabbage dish and the week before we were invited out for salmon with all the traditional side dishes. I've seen something similar to Glogg in the shops but we haven't tried it yet...will add that to the list of things to try. T
