    FYI: the part where he makes his version of the White Lady cake is towards the end of the video. I like his version because it uses less marzipan and lots of flaked almonds (which I prefer). Also, it looks easier to just cover the top of the cake with a layer of marzipan rather than the whole thing.
    This was a very educational video, especially regarding the stockfish. We use dried seafood in a lot of Chinese cuisine, especially dried scallops and shrimp, but I have not seen dried seafood used a lot in European cuisine. Good to see a high production video on Nordic culinary culture, I don't see it getting a lot of attention in the mainstream media.

    • @arcticblue248
      @arcticblue248 Před 3 lety

      Stockfish was a method to preserve fish for a longer time, so still people use stockfish to like Lutefisk (where they rehydrate the fish, and well there is a whole industry around that tough), anyway also I have seen resturants grill stockfish too .. and up here in northen norway where we used to hang alot of this before (not so much these days tough) we eat it raw ... dried ofcourse, you use a wooden hammer and hit it to it flakes up abit ... and you chew on it .... for some it can smell alot (and aparently you are not allowed to open bags of stockfish on planes here in Norway ... because of the smell)
      I believe that in Spain they use stockfish in Bacalao among other things ... there is sooo much good food in nordic culinary culture, sadly norway is not known for its food for some reasons :-) even that we have several winners of cooking championships .. and in that way, many of the worlds best chefs are norwegians, and quite often use norwegian raw materials for their creations.

    Norway was not one of Europes poorest countries. That's a myth! Norway was big on fish and shipping, but not least, they had a negotiation-model for wages that put them - not on the top - but pretty high up in Europe. After the discovery of oil, Norway became oil-dependent and it would appear that it was poor before. The other nordics are still rich and don't have oil. It's the model of negotiating wages, not only the oil...

    ...and this is only one city in one region of Norway, I might be slightly biased as a Norwegian but if you like traveling to experience culture and history you really ought to do a round trip of Norway. See our beautiful, diverse, landscape and wildlife. The different folk that lives there and their history, we all share the humble- but fierce pride for our country and traditions. We're quite cold if you don't talk to us, but if you ask us for anything we'll help you with whatever we can or point you to someone who can.

    I love Bergen, my cousin owns and runs a restaurant there. We went up Mt. Floyen twice, but the first time we visited, I stupidly pushed a pram up the path to the top of the mountain instead of getting the tram lol. Dam it was some workout. Amazing views at the top.

    The White Lady (hvit dame) appears to be really similar to the Swedish Princess cake (prinsesstårta), except that the Princess cake has a green marzipan dome instead of white.
    I'm saddened to hear that the bakeries have been shutting down. Unfortunately, a similar thing has happened in Sweden. There used to be a large number of bakeries in Malmö, now there are only a handful and supermarkets provide most of the baked goods.

      I thought so too, except the Swedish Princess cake doesn't have a macron layer either, it does however often have a layer of custard. (Swedish baker here, haha)

      Supermarkets here make terrible pastries compared to the bakeries I grew up with. Nothing was spared years ago but now they use poor substitutions for butter and cream, etc...If you want something good you have to pay a huge price for it or make it yourself.

      @@getin3949 Yes, ingredients are subpar, and not just bakeries. If I know how to do it, I would start a food manufacturer that would make things by the original recipe, for example bearnaise and holindaise with butter, thicker cut bacon, 100% corn tortillas, real sugar in stuff not high fructose corn syrup and bakery products made with butter, cookies, croissants, dinner rolls.

    As a Norwegian I would never have thought Norway would be a good place to go to make a baking/travel show.
    There's not many bakeries in Norway, as this show said. And there's two reasons for it. Firstly it's the egalitarian nature of Norway. There's not the same status in being rich in Norway, rich people would want to be seen in normal supermarkets buying what everyone else buys, it's a part of the "jantelov" culture. So then there's no upper and middle class to keep the butchers, bakeries and delicatessens alive. It's a status thing.
    The other part of it is the quality aspect. As Norway is far removed from the world, most goods have had to been imported. And traditionally, foods lose quality the longer it goes. So there's not much of a tradition in Norway for being nitpicky about quality and freshness. I think this is something most Norwegian won't admit or even realise, but, it's definitely something I've heard foreigners complain about when they move to Norway. We're not conscious enough about quality to want to go to a bakery and get our goods.
    The exception to the last one, how-ever, is fish and dairy. If you come to Norway you could get some great dairy products. Just go to any supermarket in Norway and just try a normal milk or butter, and I promise you that you'd notice the difference. And Norwegians will for sure complain when they're abroad about the quality of milk products, because they're used to pretty decent quality. But for vegetables, fruits, spice, meats and even bakery, there's low demand for high quality.

    Stockfish was also a product of the New England coast - ships putting out of Boston or Martha's Vinyard - and American stockfish was sold all over the world, because who's going to turn down dried fish that keeps practically forever and can be made into anything from stew to breakfast ;-)
