Exotic Food
A little joke on what the food in the different Nordic countries is like.
The Swedes are said to mix weird things. I once tasted smörgåstårta and it isn’t half bad. It just looks and sounds disgusting when it’s put in front of you. It’s not a real cake, but more like a sandwich that have been turned inside out and dolled up to look like a cake.
The Norwegians are said to make really boring and plain food, without many spices or accompaniments. That have of course changed now, but most of the old traditional food is still rather plain.
Danish food is said to be well tasting but extremely fattening, or sweet. Sometimes both. However, unlike fast food it will satisfy your hunger.
Icelandic traditional food is just plain weird.
Finland is mainly known for their many different kinds of bread. I just thought it would be fun to have King Europe still refusing to taste mämmi.

What Iceland is serving is actually a Norwegian dish, and it's called smalahove! It's supposed to taste really good tho!

@ekiouja: No need to apologize. You were absolutely right. It's just that Scandinavians tend to assume that since blåbær literally translates as blueberry, the one must be an accurate translation of the other, which is not the case. Literal translations can lead to confusion sometimes

@ekiouja: The naming conventions tend to lead to a bit of confusion on this point, because what's normally referred to as blueberry (blåbær) in Scandinavia is commonly called bilberry in English (specifically vaccinium myrtillus). Blueberries (vaccinium cyanococcus) are usually referred to as "American blueberries" in Scandinavia.

No! It's NOT a sandwich turned inside out, it's a several-layer sandwich. And Then you place many sandwiches side by side until it gets the shape of a rectangular cake, and then the top is decorated with MANY healthy things, and mostly it looks REALLY yummy. As it does here: [link]
*grumpy swede* :c

@Lozz my apologies for his "comment", but you are wrong on one aspect. We do have blueberry's they just grow near the eastern coast of the U.S.

xD I think most Americans would eat the whole thing. I honestly don't know how some of us eat the way we do and survive it, as consuming that much would incapacitate me, or anyone I know. I think it may have to do with people being so stressed that when they eat they don't even notice it, but possibly we're just pigs.

My Norwegian friend always brings chocolates and some other interesting things when he visits me... I keep hoping he'll bring me reindeer!
I'm proud to be an American who actually likes exploring food!
