What do they eat for Thanksgiving in Norway?
No! That is an American holliday. If you think of why one celebrates thanksgiving, it would make no sense that europeans should.
A Different View
Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest, despite what you read above, the Americans are certainly not the only culture who celebrate Thanksgiving since growing crops and harvesting those crops have been taking place before America was America.
Long before Europeans settled in North America, festivals of thanks and celebrations of harvest took place in Europe in the month of October.

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.

Who is the Norwegian composer who wrote the music to Peer Gynt?
No - not a composer. Edvard Grieg wrote an opera on the story of Peer Gynt. The music is attractive and contains well-known items such as "In the hall of the Mountain King"," Wedding day at Troldhaven (Spelling ??)" and especially "Solveig's song" which is very beautiful for soprano voice.
This all from memory and may well be corrected by others.
Not a lot to correct. It's not really an opera, although there are parts for chorus and two solos for soprano. It's really a score to accompany a production of Henrik Ibsen's play of the same title. It adds a considerable amount of time to the performance, so it hasn't oftne been done complete with the play. What most people know of the score is two four-movement suites Grieg selected from the complete work.
