I actually really like lutefisk. Don't be afraid of it. Don't listen to what everybody tells you. Just dig into it. It's really good.
I didn't come across any crazy food. I know that in every culture there's going to be weird foods, but most people will not feed you anything weird. You really don't have to worry about going to somebody's house and like getting some totally crazy, unedible thing like glutathisc or something like that. It just really probably won't happen unless they're trying to like pull something on you or they'll ask you beforehand, do you want to try this? I noticed that a lot of what I ate was really high quality food, really good food, some of the best food I've ever had. You know, there's a lot of great food in Norway. Don't turn your nose up at anything. There isn't anything that's like going to be too extreme. I ate a lot of fish. I felt like I ate healthy. I had whale, I had elk, I had moose. I had a lot of great, great foods that I had not tried before and they were all fantastic.
So in Norway they have this dish called løtefisk, and it's basically like a fish that has been jellified, and it has to be cooked just right because it's really easy to get wrong, but they typically eat it the day before Christmas Eve. So they call it Lille Juloften, and that's when they eat it. And I had it one time, luckily whoever served it served it with a lot of different foods as well, like side foods. So they're like, okay put a little bit of all the different foods onto your fork with the løtefisk and eat it. So I didn't think it was that bad. Also they have red cabbage that they serve a lot, and some kind of like a jelly, like a block of like jelly pudding that they serve for dessert sometimes.
