  • Random strangers on the streets of Trondheim, Norway, tell us about breakfast in Norway. The subtitles are in their dialect, the equivalent in Bokmål, and then translated to English.

    Norwegians sure love their bread.
    I want to point out a small error in the video: The Asian boy says "i" to mean "jeg", but I wrote "e" in his subtitles. It sounded a lot like "e" but upon editing the next video and researching the dialect (Romsdal) I found that they actually say "i".

    • @Nabium
      @Nabium Před 2 lety

      ​@@pancake_ghosty Might be natural, but it's not normal in my view.
      If you're Norwegian and you have a family that takes time for their breakfast meals, then I would say you should appreciate it. That sounds a bit foreign to me.
      Of the families I've had breakfast with at their home(which were mostly when I was a kid sleeping over at friends or as a teen sleeping over at different gfs houses), I would say it's very individual. People, including the kids, make their own slices of bread or cereal and eats it while other family members are doing different things in the morning routine; in the shower, making packed lunch. Being efficiant and individual, like Norwegians are known for. It's each to their own. Setting up a breakfast and eating it together is to me something you do on special events like christmas, going on holidays or perhaps just a sunday.

    • @Nabium
      @Nabium Před 2 lety

      Btw there was one guy commenting here earlier, but the comment got removed, who said that this dude prob ate like that because he had an Asian family. He was complimenting Asian eating routines.
      Which might be fair, I have no knowledge of this. The only time I had breakfast at Asian families was when I was in Thailand and lived with a family in the countryside for some months and they did make a warm meal for breakfast, but they didn't eat it organized. Just shoved the food in their mouths by themselves as a Norwegian would. But that's just one experience, I have no idea.
      The YT algoritm prob removed his comment because it can't separate between positive comments on Asian culture and hateful comments and bigotry(I've experienced that once when I praised aspects of askhanazi heritage and culture only to have the comment removed, and I know of vids that were pro lgbt which got removed because the algoritm thought they were hateful).
      But I really wanted to answer that comment, because I think this dude in the vid is Norwegian and not Asian. Yes he doesn't look Norwegian, but I think that he is probably adopted. It's just my guess, but it's an estimated guess. But he would have Norwegian parents then, so Asian eating routines wouldn't be relevant.
      Living in the part of Norway where he says he is from, having lived here 7 years now, I have not seen many Asian _families_ here. There are a lot of South-East Asian(Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines) women with Norwegian husbands, and there are a lot of adopted Korean and Chinese children living in Norwegian families. And I would guess he probably is the latter of those, as his appearance looks more East Asian than South East Asian to me, and he doesn't look mixed. I might be wrong here, just basing that on how he looks.
      If you look at the Asian looking woman in this vid, for contrast, she looks half Asian and half European to me. Maybe one of her parents were adopted, or maybe she has an Asian mother. But she def has a European look in her as well. She also looks more East Asian than South-East Asian, but if she's mixed I guess that would be really hard to tell. She could I guess also have a central-Asian background as they are somewhere inbetween Asia, Middle East and Europe genetically and looks very similar to mixed European/Asian. But that would be a surprising find, I'm guessing adopted Korean mother/father and Norwegian father/mother.
      There are a lot of Vietnamese in Norway and Vietnamese can sometimes look more East Asian than South-East Asian, but I haven't seen them in this part of Norway. I knew a lot of Vietnamese in the Oslo-area, but I can't think of meeting a single Vietnamese here except at the Sushi restaurants in the towns. (Btw fun fact: a majority of Sushi restaurants in Norway are run by Vietnamese, and I recommend them as well, I've experienced their Sushi geuinely tastes better than the Norwegian run restaurants that costs 3x as much, at least the salmon that I get, maybe the tuna might be a dif story).
      Further I think he might be adopted because of his eating habits themselves. In my experience a lot of families that adopts children are religious and focus more on what Americans call "family values". There's a lot of religious people in this part of Norway, and I know several religious families which have adopted, so that's why I make this induction. Using the breakfast as a time for the family to gather and talk to each other seem to me to be a conservative and "family value" thing to do.
      Anyway these are just estimated guesses. Not trying to be judgingly stereotypical here or trying to pass this off as some truth, I really have no idea at all, just interested in trying to understand the world in general and interested in making inductive reasoning. Hope everyone sees my intentions here, because some people are very sensitive about this issue and wants to project negative intent.
      Would be awesome if the dude in the vid ever saw this comment, so he could clear things out for me. He seems like a really chill dude, polite and friendly. What-ever his background is he can be proud. Cheers.

For example, they vacationed in the Lofoten Islands above the Arctic Circle this past summer, and they shared a most entertaining video travelogue of that trip.
      They also have regular videos about Norwegian foods and cooking, and they share gardening information as well. Their home is a renovated train station in a rural mountainous community.

    Heyo!
    At 2:47 he says "geitost", and while that sometimes is a white cheese (as you pictured), most of the times it's brown. And if we account in his age, he is most likely referring to the brown cheese, as it wasn't as usual to say "brunost/brown cheese" around the time he was growing up.

      @@SimpleNorwegian the brunost, often Gudbrandsdal gjetost is made by boiling the milk so eventually the water evaporates and the sugars caramelize. That's what gives it the brown colour. It is an unnecessary step that causes a bad taste

      True. My grandparents prefer the strong type of brown cheese, and call it geitost. They also buy the "real" kind of brown goat cheese whenever they are around Valdres or wherever it is.

    Edit: correction; bokmål and nynorsk is a written language, you don't say that you speak nyorsk or bokmål. What i should have said was "a mix of east norwegian dialect and their own dialect". It sounds complicated but it's nothing you should worry about at all if you are learning norwegian.

    I think in Norway older people still remember hunger times from the beginning of 20th century. The reason I'm saying that is my own experience. I was living in Norway in Oslo with a Norwegian family for 3 months in 1993. For breakfast they had some eggs, bred milk and cereal as typical. Once they had a small can of sardines and I opened it and started to eat and they were so upset because of that. They told me after that that small can of sardines was for all of them including me. I must say there was 5 people at the breakfast in total. I was so surprised by that- 5 people trying to eat 3 small sardines in tomato sauce.

      Hehe! I think sardines are mostly considered as something to enhance taste, not as food in itself, that's why people eat one single sardin, in general I do not people still have the the attitude to food from the old times, but you are partly right, some elderly people had this strange attitude to food as if it was scarse way up to the 80'ties
