Reindeer jerky no good you reckon? How about some dried fish snacks then?
Both of these were offerings in the mini bar at the Radisson Hotel in Tromsoe. Let's just say we let them they stay there! Perhaps you think these are not 'christmassy enough' though - well, except for the reindeer of course...mmmm rudolph...let's kill him, dry him out, sprinkle him in herbs and eat him... so here is a real Christmas offering. Juleskum. Translation? Christmas skum. Sounds delicious!
Or how about we make a political statement and mark our christmas celebration with, what else but Fluff?
No good? Let me keep searching then. Lots of christmas work parties had traditional offerings of half a sheep's head with potatoes and mashed swede. Tempted? Sorry no photo of that, but let me see what else I can find! xxx

Xmas Foods?!
There are some things here in Norway that are packaged and marketed as foods that I am rather dubious about. As we all knuckle down and start preparing whatever version of our lavish extravaganza constitites the Christmas feast in our lives, I wonder, is there any place for these new 'food' items J and I have discovered?
First on the menu...Reindeer snacks! Naturally good they tell us...

Oh, but half-a-sheep's-head sounds sooooo delicious!!! :-) You MUST see what you can do about a photo of that! :-) Hug.
Ah, Xmas skum.... would any xmas lunch be complete without it?
Lest you not know what to do with that jar of Fluff you bought -- the American tradition (not usually at Christmas, though....)is to put it on a sandwich with peanut butter to make a "fluffernutter". Not something I enjoy personally, as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are my standard tramping lunch ("jelly" being what is called "jam" in places outside the U.S., not the wiggly stuff...). Happy New Year and Bon Appetit ! Annette
