I am poaching salmon, have made the famous agurksalat and am just boiling plain potatoes - couldn't be a more Norwegian meal, had it not been for the Tasmanian salmon (which the rest of the family sacrilegiously said actually tasted better than Norwegian last time I made it).
Also, since the kids voted "surkaal" the Norwegian food they missed most, I have learned to make it from scratch - yes, it is possible to make it from real cabbage rather than from a foil bag. I will add that I made a most magnificent vanilla sauce for my husband's birthday FROM SCRATCH - again, because I cannot find it pre-made here. Then I realized custard probably would have done the trick. Anyway, as the recipe predicted, they actually did think I was some sort of goddess.
Who'd have thought I'd have to come to Australia to learn Norwegian cooking?
I draw the line at fastelavnsboller.
