Kavli made this tube food first, norvegia started this year, probably was a patent from kavli or something the first years i guess. Kavli is norwegian too. And the company gives away all money earned to many things. Kavlifondet supports projects that help people of all ages, regardless of background. The projects, in Norway and a number of other countries, promote inclusion and combat inequality. The themes range from mental health, entrepreneurship, and education, to services for the seriously ill, poor and disadvantaged. Research The Kavli Foundation supports research that can provide hope for people with serious illnesses, such as dementia, cancer and ME. The fund has its own research program for children and young people's mental health. Health research that can combat humanitarian distress in developing countries, such as research on vaccines, also receives support.
My mom always served fish cakes with fried onion (when the onion is soft, glazy and brown) you heat the cakes on top and under a lid. Boild potatoes and shredded carrots with a little lemon juice and a little sugar. After WW2 there had been shortage on many sorts of food for a long period. Liver is a good sorce of iorn. So to get children to eat some they made this leverpostei mild. Some think the picture of child on the box is special. I am glad this is not changed. My mom also made dinner for my baby brother with this.
You eat fishcakes either on a piece of bread, or with boiled potatoes and carrots, fried onions and butter, with some lingonberries on the sides. You can also have them in brown sauce. However they are perfectly fine eaten hand-held like you did, as a ''snack'', either hot or cold.
Usually you would have them for dinner with cooked potatoes melted butter and raw grinded carrots, but their also good on a slice of bread with ketchup as a taster.
Interesting thing to know about the Kavli brand, that is not that widely known (because they're not bragging about it very much), is it's actually a humanitarian charitable trust. All of its profits goes to 60% humanitarian work, 30% science and 10% culture. The corporation was founded by Olav Kavli, who made it a great success and then it was inherited by his son Knut Kavli, who enjoyed his fathers legacy and developed it further during his lifetime and then left it to the O. Kavli and Knut Kavli's Trust. I think that's such a beautiful thing. They make great products at competing prices, but it doesn't just taste good, it also _does_ good and I love that.
How come you americans always know how to make everything entertaining!😀 I love it. I never thought as a norwegian I would watch someone eating food from Norway and find it interesting, subbed and liked. Hope you and your husband enjoy Norway, keep posting:)
🤣🤣 Glad you are enjoying the videos! One time my husband and I spent several nights watching foreigners eat American food/treats for the first time. We were sucked in!
@@heatherabroad Haha :) We are actually not so unlike from each other, than we are from diffrent countrys we usually like all the same things and such so think about it!! We are all brother and sisters i think!!
The liver pate from Stabburet is quite mild and not my favorite at all. There are several other versions like Gilde and Vita. Those are found in the cooler section, probably not far from the tubes with cheese and those kinds of products.
Kaviar can be eaten with sliced egg, fishcakes/ fishpudding, regular cheese 🧀 Btw there is one that's milder caller kaviar mix (mixed with majones), it's orange/pink-ish) As mentioned in an other post,you can eat fishcakes as dinner but het them in a pan an put them on bread and eat with utensils. Both bacon cheeses are Norwegian brands just different fabrics
Kavli And Tine is Both Norwegian , The one from Tine is tha same as u can find as Solid White chees called Norwegia, Norwegia is Chees exported to US. 🙂
Hello Heather. Welcome to Norway 😊 I’m a British Norwegian gal living close to Oslo. My British father loved “Kaviar” and when he lived in Asia (for work) he would always ask me to bring some when I went to visit. Really enjoying your videos and I hope you and your family enjoy Stavanger and all that Norway has to offer. Subscribing and looking forward to following your life here 🇳🇴🇺🇸🇬🇧
Jalapeño cheese spread is my favorite cheese spread, definitely buy some! I eat it with butter as the first layer and cucumber slices on top of the spread as to not be as spicy!
The fishcakes are good on bread with butter, or as a dinner I usually eat them with boiled potatoes, melted butter with dill and steamed or boiled carrots. Kaviar is also very nice with boiled eggs. You are right with the other condiments.
You can use shredded carrot with the fish cakes, potatos and melted butter, but I think this is an individual choice and a matter of taste. For the mackerel, if you want to chew actual fish, choose the rounded rectangle tins. Personally I like it.
I sometimes get the squeeze cheese but I haven’t tried the fish cakes again. I should! But I love the brown cheese!! 🤤 funny though, I didn’t at first.
in my family we usually eat fishcakes with potatoes and a brown gravy with vegetables on the side. Kaviar is usually eaten with boiled eggs, but I know some use cheese.
If you want to 'pimp up' an omelette, try squirting a couple of bacon (or ham or shrimp) lines over half of the omelett. Let it settle into the omelette, and flip over the other side (which has no cheese on it), and cook until the eggs have a good color. Serve with bread and/or a salad. Mmmm..... Would not recommend this for the 'kaviar' thou....!! To ease the strong (?) (kaviar) taste, have some Norvegia cheese on top. Soo good 🥰 Great video btw 🤩
When it comes to the mackerel, you should choose the bigger can as it contains bigger pieces of fish. In Norway we use it as a sandwich spread. My wife's family from the Phls has fallen in love with the Stabburet Mackerel so that when go there we fill up one suitcase with cans to distribute to relatives, but they eat it with rice.
Hahaha I thought it said Stinky also and the tubes of spreads reminded me of Squirting out toothpaste. 😁😂 very cool and as also praying for y’all and thank you for sharing
Kvikk Lunsj was not first. In 1935 Kit Kat was introduced in England and the Norwegian chocolate factory owner at Freia tasted it and stole the idea. And made Kvikk Lunsj, a version of Kit Kat with Norwegian chocolate and adjusted to Norwegian's taste. Then later a third version was made for the US market by Hersheys. So there are two different Kit Kats, the original European and the US version, plus the Norwegian Kvikk Lunsj.
Not quite. KitKat was introduced in 1935, while Kvikklunsj came two years later, in 1937. Still the best, and Norwegian chocolate was even better before 1993, when Kraft Foods bought Freia. Unfortunately Kraft ruined "Kong Haakon Konfekt", when cerries in liqour was replaced by fudge.... Nidar also produces good chocolate, and Norwegian chocolate is still ranked among the best in the world.....
This was great! I didn’t expect you to like it all, as certain things like caviar, mackarell and liver paté is sort of an aquired taste I suppose. Something to get used to. So I was pleasantly surprised that you didn’t hate anything. And that you came in to it very open minded. I reccomend kavli - jalapeno cheese in a tube. Its the black tube with some green on. The kavli chilli one is also pretty good but sometimes they are too spicy😅.
@@heatherabroad they have xmas dinner plate in a tube or you mean like xmas dinners? Which ones? (They make these tubes out of anything these days so nothing would surprise me, or like crisps with pinnekjøtt flavor).
Fishcakes are dinner normally ... so you can serve it with potatoes .. some vegetables like carrots or something like that maybe a carrot stu... and some melted butter on top of it maybe fried onions in melted butter ... 🙂 The Kaviar can be used on just a slice of bread, but you will taste it better when having it on top of some slices of boiled egg ... Also the fishcakes can be used as a topping on the bread, its something we do up here north .. then you slice a fishcake into two, put it on top of a slice of bread (with butter on) then have some Majonese on top of that .. its delicious. So it can be done with either warm fishcake or cold one, as long as it have been cooked ofcourse previously. Norwegia is a norwegian brand, made by Tine (wich used to have monopoly on the milkfarmers (think they used to be or maybe still is owned by many of the farmers). I like the norwegia cheese alot .. the one in the tube I think is a newer type .. like more Fyldig ... or fuller taste, it had the colors as the sliced one that is more thicker ... in taste.
Nowadays most people combine the spreads with other items. Cheese or boiled eggs with caviar, pickled beets or cucumber with mayonnaise on the liver pate (of the coarse type for adults), peppers on the cream cheese, ketchup or mayonnaise on the cold fish cakes (warm fish cakes for dinner).
@@heatherabroad You might like this hilarious presentation of the Norwegian "matpakke". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JlNmeVK_zLg.html
A bit late but kaviar is almost always whit hard boiled eggs cut in slices or sliced samon, we are very into fish , can eat 3 meals every day in a week, and all have fish in em and no meal is reapeted. And tubed food is a big thing
You’re a great taste tester! This was a lot of fun to watch and now I want to try those pastes. I already enjoy sardines so I’m sure I wouldn’t mind the mackerel?? The only thing that made me a little grossed out was the liver paste…not a fan of Vienna sausages so the idea of them being all ground up doesn’t sound too appealing. Thanks for sharing!
If you love the baconost, you must make a spiral of it on your ommelet while making it so the cheese melts in. (Same goes for the Stinky cheese) :-) ) The leverpostei taste great together with red beets and majones. The makrell spread taste amasing if you also put slices of boiled egg and quecumber (agurk) amd majones. Ps, you should also go for the brown cheese with jam on it :-)
@@heatherabroad You don't have to. I don't eat butter on bread. I was served a big lump of butter in highschool ages ago, and since then I get sick looking at too much butter on bread.
Bring a Norwegian friend with you next time you go shopping, they will recomend good foods. Try brunost next and the different breads. btw Dalsnuten is almost our backyard! Wify go there every day :)
Some of my favourite combos: Cucumber and mayo are delicious on both liver pate and makrell😋 Bread with caviar goes beautifully with both boiled and fried eggs, with cheese (gauda) and bread with warm or cold fish cakes. Add mayo to everything. Bacon ost (cheese) or skinke ost are yummy on omelettes. Or try regular cheese or brown cheese with strawberry jam on top👍But here I would not skip good butter first.
1) Check the % of fish in the fish cakes. More is of course better, but the price will rise. But I get no wiser regarding the taste. 65% or 85% - I am not able to tell if one is better than the other. Some of the fish cakes though, contain way too much salt! 2) Cold or ice cold Kvikk Lunsj tastes even better ! Preferably like the vending machines temperature. A fridge is too warm, and a freezer may be too cold. I think the vending machines are laying between 1 and 5 degrees Celsius.
i just want to say after i have watched many americans try our food. we use bread and i mean alot of bred. bread for everyhing. just bread. and add some majones on it.
Looks like you found out what skinke ost actually meant, eh? Used to eat bacon ost all the time when I was a kid, but think I ended up eating it so much that I didn't just get sick of it, but sick from it. Maybe I'll try it again one of these years.
PLEASE don't twist the cap after you have reversed it and popped the tube with it in in order to open up! Otherwise the star pattern given by the cap, onto the cheese, is RUINED. The contents therefore, as in your case, exits, looking like some kind of dough. Apart from this, you are doing a great job!
Hei, liker testen din :) Du har kanskje funnet ut det nå, men du tar litt feil ifht smøre ost'ene, begge er norske, men Tine sin refererr til smak av osten Norvegia
What do you mean? Most Norwegians love the mackerel from Stabburet. Not exciting? It's probably one of the most tastiest spreads we have from the Norwegian grocery store.
