Norwegian food often gets labeled as boring and tasteless, but I think this is a very authentic and worthy showcase of our culture.
I love that you try ACTUAL norwegian food, and not exotic food which happens to be in Norway.
I already liked your videos. But as a person who worked as a waiter in one of the places you visited in this video, I love how respectful you are. And I see just how thoughtful you are. So even more of a fan now.
I love how you've started putting prices for meals in your videos. Really helpful for people planning trips.
Norwegian here been watching you for 10 years. Very cool video
As a Norwegian that fish soup makes my mouth water. Hol-y crap
For the traditional food you really made great choices by going to Engebrets and Schrøders
Love how you actually go to normal places and don’t fall for the usual tourist traps!!!
I dont know why i died laughing seeing the owner record at 21:36😂😂 actuall lovely owner who still kept the tradition going, what a G💯
Wow, what a great food-tuber this guy is! And he has this amazing positive energy, politeness and charisma. He goes for the really classic traditional food (and street food) in each country he visits, and not only the high end restaurants, so each visit represents the uniqueness of the food culture in that specific country. As a Norwegian I often forget how great food we actually have here in Norway ( I always love exploring different new food cultures), good to be reminded once in a while, now I really got craving for our food (that fish soup looked amazing).
