    That’s kind of sad. Is there some Norwegian food that you would recommend? I don’t know if I’ve ever had anything specifically from there.

      Brunost, brown cheese, which is something of an acquired taste. Cherry cheese. Tubed caviar, which is not the fancy gourmet dish you’d expect from the name. Offhand that’s what comes to mind about uniquely Norwegian stuff.

        I’d give that brunost a go, couldn’t find anything on cherry cheese, and the tubed caviar sounds like something my girlfriend would absolutely keep on hand. I’ll have to keep an eye out for these things.

            I’m East Coast between Philadelphia and New York. I think of the center north (Michigan/Minnesota) as where all the Scandinavians are.

            I saw some things say Ikea stocked the Kelles Kaviar, but now they either don’t have it or they have some inferior house brand.

                At least “hot dish” got a nationwide spotlight during the election!

              Happy to mail some stuff if you’re willing to pay for postage :) (and tariffs).

                The tariff seems surprisingly low at 15% as far as I can tell, but I’m not sure Dear Leader’s current mood. That shipping looks as though it could add up quickly, especially compared to the price of actual product being mailed if we’re talking junk food! 😄

                  I’d go in with you if you wanted. I order stuff from Europe all the time and it’s fine. PM if you want.

                    I appreciate it! I’m checking out a store in CT to maybe place an order since I’m in 1 day shipping range.

                    Getting perishables that I have no clue how they’re supposed to taste to begin with from strangers has me a little cautious. At least for the first time. No offense! 😁

                I was looking at Scandinavian Butik since they are in the overnight shipping range for me.

                If you feel like making any recommendations, I’d grab a few things. I see they have brown cheese and the tube caviar.

                  I don’t know that there’s a lot there that’s different from your everyday stuff, other than the brands. Liverpostei, maybe? It’s a sort of liver dish.

                    Fair enough, I’ll just see what sounds exciting. Thanks again!
