Norwegians HATE Surprises, look at our grocery stores. The stuff you find in the grocery store say a lot about the country and the people who live there. What do we eat? What do we drink? What are our favorite flavors? This is a video adventure about shopping groceries in Norway. A typical experience, in a typical Norwegian store. We will show you the priorities Norwegians have for food. Which treasures can we find? What are the biggest categories, with the largest and best selection? It's hardly what you think. And we will share a strange story about vanilla not being vanilla in Norway
Thanks to Rema 1000 Lakkegata and the crew there.

R Picifica 😂 I grew up with an Irish-American mom from the depression era. She had about a dozen recipes in her repertoire, all involving overcooked meat and boiled potatoes and the only "spices" in the cupboard were salt 'n pepper. The first time I ever ate Chinese food was in college. Mind blown.

@@drkatel Honestly salt and pepper is all you really need, but maybe I'm the opposite case, I grew up with Mexican food and as an adult I only eat plain rice, grilled meats, and simple vegetable soups.

In the U.S. we have a problem with knowing what to properly eat because we have way too many things to choose from. As consumers we do not really consider what we should be eating for its nutritional value. There’s a great book called The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan that goes into further detail.
