Norwegian Garden

NorwwegianBqF - Original Print       This is a bouquet of the herbs Norwegians use frequently in their cooking--Bay, Cardamom, Chives, Dill, Ginger, Nutmeg, Parsley and Pepper--and which are essential in defining their cuisine. Jarlsberg Cheese, Flat Bread, Aquavit, Cloudberries, Sour Cream, Lingonberries, Pickled Herring, Lamb and Cabbage Farikal, Lutefish, Rakorret and Porridge can all be found on their tables. Allspice, Caraway, Celery, Cinnamon, Cloves, Horseradish, Juniper, Leeks, Mustard, Onion, Paprika, Thyme and Vanilla would complete their herb garden.

      Norway's Vikings raided and occupied widely dispersed parts of Europe from 800 to 1000 AD, bringing back taste treats along with their booty. It later was ruled by both Denmark and Sweden at separate times, becoming independent in 1905. Refinements to the cuisine have come via other lands' kitchens, especially the French.

      Considering the country's northern mostly mountainous geographic location and the dramatic changes which each season brings, it is only natural that the Norwegian kitchen is seasonal. Since during winter much of the land is covered with snow, the entire summer is dedicated to gathering and storing food. Fish, dried meats, milk and grains were the mainstay of the winter diet; hence a lot of porridge and bread.

      They refer to the sea as "the blue meadow" and for centuries have been tapping its resources. It is believed that Norwegians have been drying fish for over 1000 years. Their historical menu is held together by a long thread tied to the naturel resources: Fish from the sea and lakes, game from forests and mountains, and grain, milk and meat from one of Europe's most marginal agricultural societies.
