Potato shaped like a potato


Last weekend I was invited to the Raptus festival in Norway and every night they served traditional Norwegian food for us.

The first and third night I was so excited about the food. It all tasted great and I was having a blast. The cured meat was a dream, the potatoes were unusually delicious, the fish was like nothing else and they had the best butter I've ever tasted.

But on the second night they served us raspeballer and I was so confused and upset. The potato balls tasted like soggy cardboard and the meat was so salty it hurt my gums, and I usually eat food so spicy Indians tell me to take it down a notch. And I wasn't alone. The other guests had to excuse themselves too, except the one American who loved it.

So sorry Norway, I like your food overall but I'll never be a fan of raspeballer.

The American might well have hated it too. It's common, at least where I live, to claim to love anything you're served no matter how much you hate it in order to avoid hurting people's feelings. It'd be far too awkward to go somewhere and criticize the traditional food.

Meat seasoned with all the salt in the neighborhood is not a food - it's a great excuse to drink all the beer in neighborhood.

At the west coast we call it ‘’komle’’. It’s boiled 1 hour with salty pork or lamb meat that’s been pre boiled 2-3 hours. It’s served with rutabaga stew, bacon, sausages and the salty meat. Usual on thursday’s

The American probably loved it because most food that comes in a box here is loaded with salt and sugar. Because if it wasn't, the food would taste little better than the box containing it.

"Except the one American who loved it."
That just shows how blown out our tastebuds are.

Denmarks face in the last panel reminds me of this: https://bt.bmcdn.dk/media/cache/resolve/image_1240/image/75/758865/189795-kaj-andrea-til-abefest--.jpg A character from a Danish kids show called 'Kaj Og Andrea' xD
