Nepp! At least I aint. I eat potatoes and different shapes and form plus
carrots - but that's it.
Kålrabbistappe sounds dangerous.

The kroppkake recipes are different in different regions too. The ones
they make down here are not as tasty as the ones they make in the northern parts
of Sweden.

Ween will be playing in Sweden this week (and I can't afford to go as usual)
and this sounds like something they could do.

Yes you do! You just don't know it yet.

No, more like... skincoloured...

In Sweden we usually put them in our mouths, chew and swallow.
How do you do it Norway? :-)

They complement eachother! Stopp dragging Pripps in the dirt! :-)

The moose invented the meatballs. :-)

Yep!

Yes, but we simulated that part. It's lot more fun that way.

I think you're trying to say that Norge should have joined the EU instead
of Sweden... but you don't really dare to say it loud... :-)
Well, it's OK... if I could give away our membership to you you could have
it.
BTW, in Sweden, when people talk about Europe&EU it's like Sweden not is a part
of any of these.

Nej, but I've eaten polish dessert on the (in)famous ferry Balanga Queen
with the ditto (in)famous Balanga Ballet Girls onboard ("yes, for a small amont
of money you can dance with one of the girls in private").
I thought it was somekind of creamcake... it ended up just being pure
cream (coloured in green).

>ObHorror: cultures who put CORN or LEEK on pizza! Ugh!

Don't blame the Swedes... (but there was a competition in the radio this summer
 - find the most disgusting pizza in Sweden. Apparently a little pizzashop
in northern Sweden had pizza with ice-cream and chocolatesauce on the menu.
They won. I still wonder if they put on the ice-cream before or after they'd
baked the pizza in the oven.)

Oh, I thought it was a relative. :-)

Yes, I know... I've been taking Norwegian lessons you know... :-)
