    Kavli made this tube food first, norvegia started this year, probably was a patent from kavli or something the first years i guess. Kavli is norwegian too. And the company gives away all money earned to many things.
    Kavlifondet supports projects that help people of all ages, regardless of background. The projects, in Norway and a number of other countries, promote inclusion and combat inequality.
    The themes range from mental health, entrepreneurship, and education, to services for the seriously ill, poor and disadvantaged.
    Research
    The Kavli Foundation supports research that can provide hope for people with serious illnesses, such as dementia, cancer and ME. The fund has its own research program for children and young people's mental health.
    Health research that can combat humanitarian distress in developing countries, such as research on vaccines, also receives support.

    My mom always served fish cakes with fried onion (when the onion is soft, glazy and brown) you heat the cakes on top and under a lid. Boild potatoes and shredded carrots with a little lemon juice and a little sugar.
    After WW2 there had been shortage on many sorts of food for a long period. Liver is a good sorce of iorn. So to get children to eat some they made this leverpostei mild. Some think the picture of child on the box is special. I am glad this is not changed.
    My mom also made dinner for my baby brother with this.

    You eat fishcakes either on a piece of bread, or with boiled potatoes and carrots, fried onions and butter, with some lingonberries on the sides. You can also have them in brown sauce. However they are perfectly fine eaten hand-held like you did, as a ''snack'', either hot or cold.

    Interesting thing to know about the Kavli brand, that is not that widely known (because they're not bragging about it very much), is it's actually a humanitarian charitable trust. All of its profits goes to 60% humanitarian work, 30% science and 10% culture. The corporation was founded by Olav Kavli, who made it a great success and then it was inherited by his son Knut Kavli, who enjoyed his fathers legacy and developed it further during his lifetime and then left it to the O. Kavli and Knut Kavli's Trust. I think that's such a beautiful thing. They make great products at competing prices, but it doesn't just taste good, it also _does_ good and I love that.

    If you want to 'pimp up' an omelette, try squirting a couple of bacon (or ham or shrimp) lines over half of the omelett. Let it settle into the omelette, and flip over the other side (which has no cheese on it), and cook until the eggs have a good color. Serve with bread and/or a salad. Mmmm..... Would not recommend this for the 'kaviar' thou....!! To ease the strong (?) (kaviar) taste, have some Norvegia cheese on top. Soo good 🥰 Great video btw 🤩

    You can use shredded carrot with the fish cakes, potatos and melted butter, but I think this is an individual choice and a matter of taste. For the mackerel, if you want to chew actual fish, choose the rounded rectangle tins. Personally I like it.

    When it comes to the mackerel, you should choose the bigger can as it contains bigger pieces of fish. In Norway we use it as a sandwich spread. My wife's family from the Phls has fallen in love with the Stabburet Mackerel so that when go there we fill up one suitcase with cans to distribute to relatives, but they eat it with rice.

    Kvikk Lunsj was not first. In 1935 Kit Kat was introduced in England and the Norwegian chocolate factory owner at Freia tasted it and stole the idea. And made Kvikk Lunsj, a version of Kit Kat with Norwegian chocolate and adjusted to Norwegian's taste. Then later a third version was made for the US market by Hersheys. So there are two different Kit Kats, the original European and the US version, plus the Norwegian Kvikk Lunsj.

      Not quite. KitKat was introduced in 1935, while Kvikklunsj came two years later, in 1937. Still the best, and Norwegian chocolate was even better before 1993, when Kraft Foods bought Freia. Unfortunately Kraft ruined "Kong Haakon Konfekt", when cerries in liqour was replaced by fudge....
      Nidar also produces good chocolate, and Norwegian chocolate is still ranked among the best in the world.....

    Bread with caviar goes beautifully with both boiled and fried eggs, with cheese (gauda) and bread with warm or cold fish cakes. Add mayo to everything.
    Bacon ost (cheese) or skinke ost are yummy on omelettes.
    Or try regular cheese or brown cheese with strawberry jam on top👍But here I would not skip good butter first.

    Fishcakes are dinner normally ... so you can serve it with potatoes .. some vegetables like carrots or something like that maybe a carrot stu... and some melted butter on top of it maybe fried onions in melted butter ... 🙂
    The Kaviar can be used on just a slice of bread, but you will taste it better when having it on top of some slices of boiled egg ...
    Also the fishcakes can be used as a topping on the bread, its something we do up here north .. then you slice a fishcake into two, put it on top of a slice of bread (with butter on) then have some Majonese on top of that .. its delicious. So it can be done with either warm fishcake or cold one, as long as it have been cooked ofcourse previously.
    Norwegia is a norwegian brand, made by Tine (wich used to have monopoly on the milkfarmers (think they used to be or maybe still is owned by many of the farmers).
    I like the norwegia cheese alot .. the one in the tube I think is a newer type .. like more Fyldig ... or fuller taste, it had the colors as the sliced one that is more thicker ... in taste.
