Edit: Tørrfisk...absolutely not my cup of tea 😅 Flåklypa is pronounced something like "Flawklypa". It's always fun hearing foreigners trying to say it 😁. The director of this movie Ivo Caprino, made a real version of this car ( Il tempo Gigante), with a tuned Big Block V8 in the front and a jet engine in the back that he actually got plates on! When I was 12 years old this car was at a car show here in Stavanger, aaaand I got to be a passenger while Caprino drove it! It was LOUD, and I loved it!!! Btw I love this movie👍😁
Flåklypa Grand Prix is a bit of a classic in the north even outside of Norway. Those wooden butter knives are usually the first thing you make in shop class. You make a lot of them during the years. Haha.
Hi, im from Norway. I have never tried the dried cod. But most of the other tings i am familiar with. The cheese slicer is also used on white (normal) cheese, and is a really handy tool. I remember the Asbjørnsen and Moe stories from my childhood... don't know how i would react to them now, but they were sertainly something back then.
I also read translated fairy tales from Norway when a kid. They sure were from the same cultural treasure as the Edda-writing in Iceland. Then they turn up in Tolkien-books, and others. Tolkien was special because he is one of the few who also added Finnish mythology in his phantasy mix. And life without a proper cheese cutter is miserable, for sure.
100 % agreement from me, and the sound effects totally suprised me! Hearing the troll plodding behind the back, walking on autumn dry leaves and grass. Scary! What will your girls say, maybe they want to sit in your lap? That you could force yourself to eat of that horrible dry cod shows that you must have viking-blod in your body - it happens even far in the south and east of Europe.
You are a brave man with that dry fish. Never really could handle it (outside of Bacalao). When you watch Flåklypa Grand Prix - the legend is saying that the pod-racing scene in Star Wars Episode 1 was "heavily inspired" by this movie. (Including pre-race sabotage and "dirty tricks". This is also the movie that inspired the Swedish legend Christian Von Koenigsegg to make his insane and wonderful hyper-cars. The folk tale about the boy from Vågå (you pronounced it Vega) is from where I grew up. I can tell you that Asbjørnsen and Moe did a lot of PG13 work back in the 19th century. When my grandparents told these tales to us kids back in the 1970s - they were VERY R-rated. Really gory stuff - but then again Asbørnsen and Moe has been national "canon" for almost 200 years. So it is only the locals that still remember the original tales. And now I have subbed since I sure am curious about the experiences a good American man may have over here on a nordic adventure.
You are a brave man, Bryson! I knew how that fish would smell, before you opened the bag! 😤 Thank you for the folklore read, great right?! A little social history in the mix 😊 hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
I always enjoy your channel. I can get dried fish right here in Winnipeg, Canada! It’s from Iceland and we have quite a large group of people who are of Icelandic heritage- including me! You must be getting very excited for your trip. Have a great time!
Tørrfisk is awesome, I've actually never been bothered by the smell, and I wasn't aware it had a ''bad'' smell. I use to buy them ''whole'', where you get one side of a whole dried fish, then I just bash on it with a hammer untill it's soften up and rip pieces from it. It's a great snack!
Great snack with beer. But I live in a town where we dry them, and when the wind direction is just right, you start to smell the drying process coming trough your open windows.
"I cannot take this (fish) to work" 😂😂😂 You're so brave, Bryson - trying out all the food we send to you. And so nice you read the story. Can't wait for you to visit Scandinavia 🤗
Here is some background material about the filmmaker Ivo Caprino. He was the one who made the movie you got. czcams.com/video/Dh3zYzQlzwY/video.html The author was Kjell Aukrust. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjell_Aukrust Will add that Kjell Aukrust was also a great composer. We saw that on a Saturday night on live TV. Then he composed a piece of music for a large orchestra, in a few seconds. What he used was a music stand, a sheet of music and a shotgun. The police were present, so it was done in a safe manner. 😊
Oh yes the dried cod has smell to it:) - but I agree it's not that bad tasting, it's actually really nice to use like a spice in cooking, similar to fish sauce or Bonito flakes. Grind up a few pinches to a powder and mix with sourcream, go-chu-jang, chives/green onion, garlic, ginger and you got a nice rich umami style dip sauce :)
Don’t think YT likes my comment, it keeps dissapearing 😅 The «ostehøvel» is also used for regular cheese. I also use it for cutting things like thing cucumber slices.
A very nice and thoughtful package from Norway, I sincerely hope that someone sometime has sent you a similar package from Denmark, you really deserve it. For only once in your lifetime the 2022 Tour de France will start in Copenhagen July 1, Zealand to the Great Belt Bridge July 2 and Jutland July 3, 3 days in Denmark. If you decide to take half a year off in the summer time and bike through the countryside of Denmark, Norway and Sweden and youtube it live, you can expect to do so with free food and shelter by your followers.
Dry cod is something we mostly make up north... you have to hang the Cod to dry before the flies start to spawn so it got to be done early enough so the fish is dry before the fliea start to spawn and breed. They cant eat the dry fish. We used as kids to raid these places... steal some fish. Its actually quite expensive stuff... good with beer.
If you are going be in Oslo for 17.May you should deffinently watch the 17th of may parade. School kids, adults, clubs, music groups and the people celebrating russ. In Oslo the royal guard is also in the parade, belive it's the only military unit that walks in it. They put the rifles down on the ground and pick random people out from the crowd and dance with them.
I will try and splitt my comment into two, and see if they both dissapear or what is going on 😅 Watching this I do wonder if you have seen the movie «Trollhunters»? If not, I would recomend watching it, it is very good. It is available on Amazon with english subtitle.
More and more I have come to suspect that YT only accepts comments without links, and if links, then only links to other YT videos will pass. Might that be the case with your comments?
@@DNA350ppm no, there was no links to anything. My two commens on this video was one, I tried posting twice on the app, and once in the browser window, and it did not stick.
@@pepsimax8078 Well, it is really mysterious! I never use improper language, but now and then my comments just disappear into cyber-space or whatever - I have been trying to figure out why. Thanks for replying, if you can come up with an answer, or a guess, please, write here about it. 🙂
Tørrfisk? Yikes.. if someone tries to up this with surstrømming? DO NOT open that package. Also I like flåklypa, but to show where norwegian filmmaking is now. Try the wave(bølgen)
@@Aliquis.frigus I agree. But I fear that the same could be said for movies in general nowadays. I just meant that although flåklypa is great entertainment, we now can make albeit more generic, more visually impressive movies.
Jepp wooden butter knife is comon in SCANDINAVIA i made my own in third grade in school and its better then plastic butter knife! Some Swede should send you Surströmming Bryson haha 😂 worlds stinkiest fish haha 😂 Take care! 👍 😀 ❤️ 🤝 🇸🇪

Dogs and cats love the dry fish

Nice gifts you received :)
It would be fun if Bryson could get a beanie/hat from Sweden, Finland and Denmark as well ;)
Thank you! And yes, that would be cool 😎
The storytelling with the sound effects were great
I loved the story and the sound effects!😊You should read some more,and to your kids.That was a great gift you got from Bergen.
Nice reading!

Have the Tørrfisk as a snacks when you drink cold beer (lager). Thats how we enjoy it in the North of Norway.
That actually sounds like a good pair and the perfect thing to wash it down with! Thanks for that idea and comment
You are a brave man, Bryson!
I knew how that fish would smell, before you opened the bag! 😤
Thank you for the folklore read, great right?!
A little social history in the mix 😊
hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
The deal with dried/tinned fish is that it often smells horrible but tastes pretty good.
I always enjoy your channel. I can get dried fish right here in Winnipeg, Canada! It’s from Iceland and we have quite a large group of people who are of Icelandic heritage- including me!
You must be getting very excited for your trip. Have a great time!
Excited for sure! Thank you so much & have a great day!
Fish jerky, love it >D

Every time I see your vids I see my postcard on your wall...makes me smile!
Carry on!!!

Try to add some butter to the tørrfisk.
Tørrfisk? Yikes.. if someone tries to up this with surstrømming? DO NOT open that package. Also I like flåklypa, but to show where norwegian filmmaking is now. Try the wave(bølgen)
The wave/Bølgen is way more generic though, and not as unique.
@@Aliquis.frigus I agree. But I fear that the same could be said for movies in general nowadays. I just meant that although flåklypa is great entertainment, we now can make albeit more generic, more visually impressive movies.
