I am delighted to meet you again this week with… A FOOD-ARTICLE!
We speak highly of French food…
…That is why today, I wish to put in the honour: THE NORWEGIAN GASTRONOMY!
First of all, let me present you the context of my amazing cooking experience. In the dormitory where I am living in, we are lucky to share our kitchen with other exchange or Norwegian students. In my case, we are ten exchange students and only one Norwegian. Since the beginning of this semester we have organized a “Kitchen Dinner” every week. Thus, a duo cooks one of their culinary speciality every week.
Last week, we discovered one of the most famous traditional meals in Norway : The “Rømmegraut” or “Rømmegrøt“.

This kind of porridge is a mixture of sour cream, milk and a little bit of flour. The yellow liquid on it, as you can see on the picture, is the fat of the cream and the milk which is released by itself during the preparation. The Norwegians have the habit of adding some raisins, cinnamon and sugar to it and as a drink they serve raspberry juice.
The side dish was some meat. Most common used is “spekeflesk” but this Saturday we had “morrpølse” (salted and dry sausage). And with it, we had some bread: “flatbrød” directly translated to “flat bread”.
This dish is so filling that we only ate a tiny portion of it. For me, this was definitely enough… I think that this meat is too creamy and fat. However, I appreciated having this surprising experience. Although I am enamour with this country for many reasons, I still need some more time to accustom my palate…
The Norwegian student, as for him, is in love with this porridge. He controlled himself not to take another serving of it…
If I wheted your appetite, I am waiting for you in Norway because you will probably only find it here!
