Food & drinks in Norwegian
A Norwegian day of food often looks like this: brødskiver with cheese for breakfast, a matpakke at lunch, a warm middag around five and a light kveldsmat in the evening. Fish, potatoes and brown cheese are classics, and Friday is taco night in many homes. Here are the words for shopping and eating.
