Rather than hijacking Sharkes' Marmite thread, I thought I start this one about things I remember from my visits to Norway so many years ago.  I really should have returned before now.  Maybe I will before too long.
 
Marius, I was wondering if any of these products are still around.  Krokan ice cream.  Solo soda and Champagne brus.  Primula cheeses.

Not Marius, but I can confirm the continued existence of all of those products. Except maybe Primula, though I haven't looked too hard for it.

Krokanis is my favorite ice cream flavor!

Is it Norway where they eat those cans of fermented fish that make normal people vomit, or is that Sweden?

I concur about the Krokan!!!

And yes, Primula is still around (SvenArne - skinkeost, rekeost og den slags på tube) but they may have changed a bit, depending on how long ago you were here. I believe it's under the Kavli brand now over here but it's supposed to still be the same. In England it's sold under the Primula brand.

Argh!!! Blah yeah, that's horrible!!! I think it's bigger in Sweden - not sure - but it doesn't seem to be a big thing here in Norway. It's not something I grew up with so to speak. But I have smelled it and to be honest, I rather eat Vegemite, Marmite and pretty much any thing else, than that! Easy!

A very Norwegian dish is Lutefisk. It's the one thing in the world I have sworn to never try (besides actually eating that fermented crap - which I think is Swedish anyway), because I don't want to! It doesn't look like food and no one actually say they like the fish, the all talk about the sides... so why not just eat the sides, I wonder...
