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.
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 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! 😁
Haha I get it! I’m more curious than cautious when it comes to things like this, for better or for worse. So far, I’ve only had good experiences. Just offered because I don’t think we live all that far apart.

Where do you live? I understand the states have a big Norwegian community.
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.
I can confirm Minnesota. The food people cook is about the same amount of blandness
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).

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 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!
