What do Norwegian people eat for Christmas?

Answer 1

Matpakke is a Norwegian tradition that literally means "packed food". Every child in Norway takes matpakke to school, most adults continue the tradition into their working lives and if you "går på tur" on Sunday then you are sure to take matpakke with you. It normally consists of several open Sandwiches (basically sandwiches without the lid on) and perhaps some fruit and hot toddy in a thermos.

Answer 2

Seafood

Seafood plays a dominant role in the average Norwegian's diet. Norwegians love their fish and consume seafood an average of three to four times a week, according to the Norway Hei website. Locally caught seafood like salmon ("laks" in Norwegian), cod and lutefish are prepared and served in all manners. Fish is poached, grilled, fried, smoked, salted and dried, and cured. Popular traditional Norwegian seafood meals include Fiskesuppe (fish soup), Røkt Laks (smoked salmon), Sild (pickled herring) and Gravlaks, consisting of salmon fillets marinated in a dill mixture and served with piquant mustard sauce.

Game

Game in Norway runs the gamut from duck, goose and other fowl to moose and reindeer. Game is often grilled or roasted and served with traditional Norwegian side dishes, such as Raspeballer, which is made from raw, grated potatoes that are mashed together with flour and salt into little balls and then boiled; or Grønnerterstuing (stewed green beans).

Breakfast

Norwegian breakfasts also tend to lean heavily toward the sea, with fish playing a prominent role. Traditional Norwegian breakfasts include smoked salmon, fish in various sauces and marinades (such as sardines in tomato sauce or mustard sauce, or pickled herring), carviar (kaviar in Norwegian), or smoked whitefish, often served with hard-boiled eggs. Norwegian breakfast specialties include smoked salmon egg omelettes and smoked salmon sandwiches.

Desserts

Norwegian desserts tend to revolve around four key ingredients: sugar, flour, eggs and butter--lots of butter. Traditional favorites include pannekaker (thin pancakes, filled with berries or jam), krumkake (a crispy butter cookie, made with a special krumkake iron, that is served at Christmas) and kingles (flat, sweet pretzels covered with almond-flavored frosting).

Sandwiches

Open-faced sandwiches are a tradition in Scandinavian countries, and Norway has its own variants. Popular open-faced sandwiches in Norway are made with a buttered slice of toast, typically whole-grain rye, topped with meatballs, herring, fish filets or leverpostei (liver pate).
