Christmas in Norway - feel the magic of Christmas Markets ...
The Christmas season in Norway begins on the very first day of the Christmas Markets. We can take part in them in large towns and small towns, where they captivate with the climate. They delight with their visual side, the smell of regional delicacies, mulled wine ... The Christmas spirit is in the air. Entire towns are surrounded by beautiful lamps. The organizers prepare attractions for the whole family - there are exhibitions, concerts, theater performances. These are great events. We wrote about their advantages in our text: Christmas markets in Norway - list.
At the Christmas table ...
In Poland, carp is still undoubtedly number one on Polish tables. For Norwegians, the main fish dish is leached fish (lutefisk). It is prepared with great commitment - the dried cod carcass is soaked in water for several days. Then 1-2 days in an aqueous solution of potassium or sodium hydroxide. To sum up, at the end it has to rest in water again - after these three preparatory elements it can be boiled. Lutefisk usually comes to the table with potatoes, bacon and special sauces. It is worth paying attention to the fact that Norwegians love w Christmas eat pork in festive form ribs. The favorite Christmas drink is uniquely brewed Christmas beer.
