While i Norway Josh and i tried some smoked whale. We both felt sort of weird about eating whale, but it is something traditionally Norwegian, and legal there. It was really pretty good. Although, since the foremost flavor was 'smoked' i don't think its something i'll miss never having again.
At that same meal i had some salt cod - really tasty, a bit too salty for me to eat such a large quantity. Josh had Elk. Over all, the food was really good. The presentation reminded us of a much more traditional time in the US - very meat and potatoes - but it tasty food. I was struck by how good the vegetables were - they all seemed to have a lot of flavor.

    Texturally, it was pretty soft stuff. The flavor was very much "beef jerky", with only a piquant hint of cruelty livening up the proceedings.

    Of the assorted odd things we ate in Norway, the reindeer I had was probably the best, with the elk and the smoked whale somewhere behind it.
