Norwegian eating habits

Maybe you're thinking that this is going to be a list filled with fish and potatoes. Only parts of this list are those things. In Norway, we are trying to find our own way in the *food business *and new ways of dieting. We take a concept of a food and make it **Norwegian **and put it in the stores. For those interested in this and at the same time are willing to learn important things about the **Norwegian stomach **have arrived at the right place. After the Italian side of Narvik, it was time for a full story on Norwegian eating habits. You can also read the Sweet version of our eating habits.

Grandiosa

The essential part of **Norwegian **eating includes Grandiosa. It's the frozen pizza that **Norwegians have fallen in love with. Constantly waiting for you in the fridge after a night out, and constantly the best tasting frozen pizza of the **Norwegian **ones. For sure it steps beyond the rival called ''Big one''.

Brunost

In English, brown cheese. It has a sweet taste and you put it on bread combined with butter. **Brunost **is maybe the most **Norwegian **thing you can find in the kitchen after the ''Ostehøvell'', which is the slicer to slice the Brunost. The **Brunost **has nuances of **chocolate **and caramel. A very common thing is to combine **Waffles **with Brunost. Technically, **Brunost **is not a cheese. They call it **cheese **for advertising reasons. Like a **hoverboard **which does not hover.

Makrell i tomat

This one is not adored by all **Norwegians **like **Grandiosa **is. **Mackerel **in **tomato **in English. *Old people *are huge fans of this. Because they are the ones who eat the most fish. The amount of **fish **eaten by **Norwegian **youth is decreasing year after year. The production of ''Makrell i tomat'' started in the 1950s. The taste is very recognizable and you can easily bring back memories from when you ate it last when you smell it.

Tine products

**Tine **is very close to a **monopoly **of dairy products in Norway. The reason being that they had the status as a **monopoly **about 20 years ago. In Norway, the Tine logo is on milk, yogurt, milkshake, cream, ice coffee, juices, and more. The competition they have on **milk **is irrelevant for now. We'll see if it's going to change when this after-monopoly face finishes. The biggest competitor is Q-melk.

Tran

This is **Oil **from **fish liver. **The **oil **has a lot of *omega 3, unsaturated fat, vitamin A and D. *Tran helps your bones, heart, and skin. The **scientists **are on the **TV **in **Norway **sometimes and say that we get enough of those things and don't need to take Tran. The taste was *awful *as a kid and is *nostalgic *as a grown up.

Leverpostei

This one is *controversial *in terms of taste. It is **liver **from the fish, like Tran. This one has a different taste. You put it on the bread. Unlike Brunost, you never put **Leverpostei *on the waffle. A french guy *called **François Louis Beauvais **made this when he lived in **Denmark **in the 1800s. **Denmark **influences **Norway **in a lot of ways and we have a lot of it to this day.

The place where you can get all of these products are inside of a Rema 1000 store anywhere in the country!
