As an American I have never had Norwegian Leverpostei so today I thought it would be fun to taste it for the first time. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
"Naturlig rik på jern" = "Naturally rich in iron"
I lived my entire childhood only on this stuff
ever tried gome,made from the same as brunost (brown cheese).
@@runeingebretsen8378 brown-cheese (brunost) = goat cheese in Norway :)
@@tommyaleks100 Not quite. There are generally two types of brunost: Those that only contain cow's milk, which are just called brunost, and those that contain goat's milk, which are called geitost (goat cheese).
@@Kenjuudo Yes of course, you are so right. I should had known that hehe
Tyler do you eat hot dogs? Do you eat winegums and candy like that? If so, you eat the leftovers from animals ALL the time, it is made out of everything left after butchering, all the guts and stuff you "dont eat" =)
Funfact about leverpostei, if you were to eat only one thing for the rest of your life, Leverpostei would cover everything your body needs to function properly, except Vitamin C. Leverpostei is not a waste product like hotdogs.
A little backstory about the child. They (at least used to) run "competitions" where kids would send portraits of themselves to this company, in hopes of getting drawn and being put on the can.
Leverpastej and pickled cucomber on a Sandwich is really good
My lunch at work, at least once a week.
With butter and mayo!
+ mayo
The american pickle is not sweet sour as our's, its salty.
@@elborgundYou can buy sweet pickled cucumbers in America, too. They're just not that popular.
Kudos for trying 😊👍 This is one of the milder types of leverpostei. And there is no reason why it should taste fishy. It is not made of fish liver.
Nei,men er jo Ansjos i leverpostei ;)
Mange klassiske oppskrifter på ovnsbakt leverpostei inkluderer ansjos.
you also need butter under Leverposteien, pickles and mayo on top
Not pickles, cucumber!!! ❤❤❤
@@elisabethpedersen7893 hahaha, det tenkte jeg ikke på, men tviler på at det er så mye ansjos i denne her at man merker det. Den er jo så mild i smaken 😄
You have to put slices of fresh cucumber on it!
.. or beetroot and onion.
Or mayonnaise
Or all of the above
Pickled cucumber also works a treat. Apple slices is good, too.
@@tord9707all of it together😌
Mayo or pickles on it is really good.
Or regular cucumber
Or slices of red beets
Tomato on is good
Raw onion and mayo on top is really good
It will make you strong as a viking😎🤠
😂😂😂 You make me laugh so hard 😂😂😂 Isn't there anyone who can send him some Norwegian chocolate? I think he would like that much better 😂😂😂
He has tasted Kvikk Lunsj, and he enjoyed it.
Oh we have plans on sending him more 😁
Someone send him Freia Melkesjokolade!
Some should send him makrell i tomat hehe 😅😅
@@MortenBekkevold Send him some licorice boats.
Googled what leverpostei was only to realise it's just liver paté, we have that too, it's nice!
Be even nicer with butter on the bread as well.
Butter yes, and pickled cucumber on top.
@@JoriDiculous I personally don't have leverpostei AND butter but I add/prefer lemon pepper and a bit of mayo and/or siracha. Black pepper also works and black pepper works with pickled cucumber.
Tyler will grow up to to be big and strong! What my parents told me anyway :)
Yes, and we did 😀
"Is this canned children? Is this child missing?" Man Tyler cracked me up- I never thought of it that way, lol.
You were brave Tyler. Levepostei has a special flavor, some people hate it- some people love it. I personally only like the chicken-leverpostei. Its understandable that you also began thinking about eating liver when you chewed- when you try something new your mind really does like to inform you about what you are doing. :)
Bytting! Alle nordmenn elsker leverpostei! Kyllingpostei er djevelens verk! 😅
We where afraid we had wrong address when we sent you leverpostei and the other thing. Looking forward to see you try the other thing we sent 😊
Oh i so hope it was Surströmming
I subscribed @MortenBekkevold
In Denmark we eat freash cucomber on top of the bread with leverpostej.
In Norway too 👍
Og rodbeder
It's also normal with pickled cucumber on top of liver paste in Norway
And also with pickled red beets yummmm
And you have great tasting leverpostej too.
Well done Tyler, but have you ever thought about what's in div sausage?
Or how chicken nuggets are made
Some norwegians top it with pickled beets, and , yeah, with a spread of butter under the Leverpostei :)
It is really healthy and I use pickles on it and some pepper, it is also very nice to have on toasted bread ;) The oven baked leverpostei is SO much better tho, and the one with garlic added it a treat =)
I just love your humor Tyler. Hope you try out more norwegian foods in the future
Tyler - most Norwegians eat leverpostei on wholemeal bread with fresh cucumber, pickled cucumber or pickled beets and Mayo on top. Leverpostei with fresh or crispy onions are also tasty.
This has to be the most nutritional food item I have ever seen an American consume on CZcams.
Nice to see you finally get to try some traditional Norwegian food. I eat this all the time. As a child, you get used to it, and the mental block is definitely the issue here. I was always served with mayo as a kid., now I use beets on it. Pickles work too. Anything you think it's gonna taste bad, will taste bad, no matter what it is. So mindset is everything trying foods. I have the same mental block, with quite a few Thai street foods, (Deep fried Cockroach f.ex). BTW The 'Naturlig rik på Jern' means 'Naturally iron rich', meaning it is very good for your red blood cell count.
I really hope someone sends you a cheese grater and a goat cheese so you can taste it too. Because if you thought the liver pâté was strong in taste, you will probably be surprised by the geitosten. I'm also going to brag about you, simply because you used a bread that we Norwegians could have found in the store in Norway, and of all the people I've seen try spreads from Norway, you're the first who has not only tasted the product, but actually had it on a slice of bread.
Glad he gave it a genuine try.
Kudos to you for trying it 👏Now, if you dare to try it again or for anyone who wants to try it, here are some optional ways to have it:
- On bread, but apply butter then the liverpaste
- As above, but with a thin layer of mayo applied on top
- As first bulletpoint, but with slices of regular cucumber
- As first bulletpoints, but with slices of pickle
- As first bulletpoint, but add small bacon bits on top (in norway you can get liverpaste with bacon bits as a premade variant of this paste)
I am personally liking the cucumber or pickle options, probably pickle over cucumber. I'm also "fuzzy" about the liverpaste in the following way: I prefer it refrigerator cold, I also don't like it once it's been open for about a week or two (or have been in room temp for extended time) as I do feel it alter the flavor some and in my opinion not for the better
😅 So keep this in mind when you try it, it's best straight from the fridge and when it's being opened (or the following week).
As a norwegian I have grown up with this paste and I do like it, but I know it's an aquired taste and foreign to many. And in regards to the packaging, it's to encourage other children to eat it as well. "Oh look, happy boy, he must love this".
Butter beneath, cucumber (I prefer pickled) with some mayo and spice (gastromat or Piffi) on top 😊
If you still dont like it, give it to a cat!
I love leverpostei.. it's not strong. it's very mild taste. and with butter on the bread and good amount of leverpostei on it. it's yum yum.
ever kid in Norway loves it.
It is best when cold from the fridge. And very good with cucumber on. And with butter on the bread
"Naturlig rik på jern" would translate to something like "Naturaly iron rich" but the phrase: "A natural source for iron" would probably be a better way of translating it into a cohesive sentence
There are variants of this here in Norway. I tend to buy the Vita Ovnsbakt one by Mills or a similar one by Gilde. These are fresh and only last maybe a month before expiring. The nice thing with the Stabburet canned one is it doesn't have to be stored cold, and can be stored for 4-5 years before opening.
A quick search seem to indicate 10-15 variations is not uncommon in the grocery store.
Liver pate is a better translation than paste.
The darker bread the better. Odten served with fresh cucumber slices; pickled cucumber or beetroot are also common. Perhaps a few twists aof the black pepper grinder.
Accompanied with a glass of milk and/or tea or coffee.
Hehe, its funny because we grow up on this stuff, but i unferstand that it can seem strange if you are not used to it. We have variations on this all over Europe. Great nutrients and iron suplements for kids :-)
It’s kind of the kids version of the exclusive Foie Gras.
We also eat canned mackerel in tomato sauce on our bread. I personally enjoy that with chocolate millk :-)
Its werry healty for yu
Elk or moose hart is insanely good
Dried reindeer heart is much better ❤
@@yvindkarlsen Dried reindeer meat is the best I can get, and the heart is even better!

@royramse7389

- In this context, it doesn't exactly do the elk/moose any favours...

You need to have a nice spread of butter om the bread, the paste on top: crucial to have a sweet milk tea to drink with it is heavenly!
I like those who are less grinded, owen baked and with anchovy in it.
It is very common to use cucumber or pickles and mayonnaise on it. It is rich in nutrients because of the liver. You may crave it after a while. All Scandinavians eat this in various forms, and the danes serve it sometimes as a warm lunch.
Try it with Mayoo! makes it 10 times better
I think we have this in all the nordic european countries :D Here in Denmark it's called Leverpostej. In my home country Iceland, we call it Lifrarkæfa, which is pretty much the same or just kæfa for short :D We're pretty big on utilizing all parts of the animal instead of just eating "the good parts". Hope you're enjoying learning about Norway and the nordic countries :)
I'm so jealous. I haven't found this anywhere in spain, so I haven't had this for 7 years.
In Iceland (don't know about Norway) we also have a version made out of lamb. I think that one's disgusting, but I absolutely love this one.
I like to toast white bread, put a thin layer of butter on it, and a slightly thick layer of this over the butter. 🤤
Leverpostej is very common in Denmark too. I think its nearly our most used spread. But we eat it on rye bread and with pickled beetroot on top. Velkommen - or bon appetite
Have been living in Norway for 40 years. Fresh leverpostei from the food store tastes much better, more like meatloaf. Opening the canned version takes me back to my childhood in the US, when we fed our dog canned food. Same odor, same color, same texture.
4:50 - he comes prepared! I recommend a bit of mayo and either cucumber slices or pickle slices on top. One of my favorite snacks! 7:23 Alone it can be a bit much, especially that packet 😅 An ovens baked liver pate is much more mellow in the taste. I like Vita "Hjerte'go Ovnsbakt Leverpostei" best my self, but mils have some good ones, and the Danish are really good at making the ovens baked one.
I love your reactions you're so honest. And I think that's great!😊
So good with mayo, mustard, swiss cheese , thin sliced cucumber layered up, then sprinkle salt and pepper on top. So very good! Its just liverwurst. But all i can find now is Braunschwieger, which works ok..i loved that leverpostei though.
As a Norwegian, i have never though that leverposteien is lever….it sound strange but when you grow up in Norway thats just normal.i dont like leverpostei now but i liked it when i was little😅
So fun video . Leverpostei is rich in vitamins and is therefore given to children from an early age and is easy to eat and serve to small children on bread or crisp bread .So brave to taste Norwegian food. You should have tasted markell in tomato haha which is also a Norwegian food
You should try "grov leverpostei" its more rich in taste in my opinion". Most people use butter first on the slice and leverpostei on top of it, you did it in a more healthy way though.😊
Liverpaté is very rich in iron, so much that if you eat more than a couple of slices of bread with liverpaté you're past the daily reccomenden amount 😄 but yeah, all us Norwegians eat that 😂
Also, if you wish I can arrange a package of a lot of typical norwegian foods for you to try 😁
Love these type videos, fun to see you try norwegian stuff
I grew up eating Leverpostei. You need to have butter on the bread first, then leverpostei. I would also recommend a hint of black pepper and thin slices of cucumber on top. Delicious :) I do understand that it might be an acquired taste though. But well done m8!
hat off ! this experiment requires a lot of courage from you
Awesome that u tried it! I guess it's an acquired taste that's easier to like if you've been exposed to it during childhood.
I have made my own liver paté at home a couple of times with pigs liver (which is the most mild one imo), onion, ister (pure fat from some animal) and lots of herbs.
Ive seen a lot of your reactings Tyler, and like it. On this topic u should know that all norwegian children love this brand of liverpaste, and later they turn into stronger and more specific brands. U should also know that we usually is not particularly fond of peanutbutter, eventhough we love peanuts. Its a part of habit, and it starts from the childhood. Like the norwegian speciality: BROWN CHEESE. And do you know, every child in Norway say they hate fish?? But everyone loves canned mackerel in tomato sauce on their bread slices??? You are so productive, maybe I gave u 2 more ideas now? Dont be wondering if at least 98% of comments of this reaction comes from Norway
My favorite. Grew up with it. i sometimes mix it with Mills Kaviar or put in a slice of fried bacon
Well done Taylor! You have tasted a topping that most Norwegian children and adults greatly appreciate. Once you have tried, you could use pickles on, or mayonnaise, you could even have fresh onions on. And as previously mentioned here, there are various fats and offal in a lot of what you eat today, and not only that, but also in hand soaps and creams, so you've probably been away from it for a lot longer than you think.
Top it with fresh or pickled cucumber and you add crunch and flavor to elevate it. You should try out mackerel in tomato sauce. It is also a Norwegian classic for sandwiches.
5:01
That actually looks like decent bread, well done!
A little butter and some leverpostei and you're technically good to go, although a slice of cucumber or a slice of paprika would be good on top too.
9:37
You have to chew whole grain bread properly.
10:53
Naturally rich in iron.
"Jern" = "Iron"
11:17
Fair enough.
That said, it's common to mix it with other things like butter underneath and thin cucumber slices on top.
I like Leverpostei, it's particularly good with cucumbers on top. Gives it a little more "crunch" to it too.
I love the way danes have their Liverpaste, with fried champignon and bacon, sliced pickled beetroot and sliced cucumber. Also making sure my bread is buttered with real butter, no margerine or soy allowed.
There are many liver paste variants that are much stronger in taste. That one is the mildest. Usually you ad some mayonese and slices of fresh cucumber. yum yum.
Here in norway we eat pretty much any organ in a animal, nothing go to waste, liver, lung, heart, tongue etc.. Not that long ago since we were considered a poor country, people couldn't afford to throw away anything.
Also if I were to send you some leverpostei I would have sent baked leverpostei wich imo is 10 times better than the plain version you tried.
And as others have mentioned, you should try it with pickles on top.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
SO Americandramatization! Love it!
Its superhealthy, lots of iron and vitamines. Especially good for a growing body. I cant take it bare though. I gotta have mayo on top. Maybe also a slice or two of cucumber.
2:31 the joke that we all do here 😂 It does look a bit like canned child 🤔 But it is to show that it's healthy for a kid, and a lot of kids like to eat it. There was also a girl on some cans, and there once was a competition to become the "Leverpostei kid". A lot of kids were on the leverpostei can then. I always wanted the liver paste with the kid since I thought it was the one for the kids. And it is cheaper than the other better ones as well! So win, win for the parent!
That was fun, Tyler. You do realize that this is Liver Pate, right. A lot of people in the U.S. eat pate. We also eat organ meat. Congratulations for trying something new. I would do more food videos this worked well. Peace
since you tried "Leverpostei" i would recommend you try "Lungemos" since you might go down this road (translated to mashed lung) wich also isnt as bad in taste as it sounds (in my opinion) since you had this mental block that you mentioned
My childrens first dinner was leverpostei with mashed potatoes. They loved it.
There are some very good and decent versions of leverpostei (which can be compared to 'liverwurst' in the states) here in Norway, actually. This one, however, is not one of my favorites. (I moved here from the U.S. in 1981). I prefer the 'Mills' brand with bacon! I really get a kick out of your videos btw!
I rarely eat leverpostei alone. I typically add some pickles on top. But heart is the best part of the animal and it's sad that people don't eat it. My absolute favorite is raindeer heart. It's the best meat you can possibly find. Like in America, Norwegians don't eat much organs anymore, except liver. Mashed lungs used to be a big hit, along with blood sausage, heart and kidneys.
If you have a dog or a cat, give the rest of it to them, they'll love it, for sure 🎉😊
Bread with butter, leverpostei, mayo and some cucumber, yum :)
I grew up on leverpostei. It's delicious. specially with a slice of cucumbers.
It's canned leverpostej, it's so different from the fresh ( the real one ) and so so different from homemade. The canned one I love only because it's childhood memories from when my mum took us camping in the summer holidays.
Think of it as pate instead cause that's what it is =) like goose liver pate, or in this case pork liver pate. My favourite way to enjoy this is a thin layer of salted butter, then the liver pate, then some cucumber on top =) Also if you wanna go the extra mile add some mayo, and on toasted bread it's really good ;) Well done!
Kudos for trying Tyler! I completely get the mental block when it comes to things like organs, and it's completely OK to struggle with that.
It is very common throughout the world to eat organs, and other leftovers like feet, in order to not waste food. This was also done in the US, but it seems like this has declined throughout the last 100 - 150 years. In English it would be correct to call it pâté (although it's French), rather than paste. Paste sounds like something that is just ground down until it is no longer a solid, and then stuffed into a container, which is not at all correct. It goes through several phases of boiling, steaming, seasoning, baking, etc.
It is interesting that you thought it had a rich taste, as that is considered the most bland version we have in Norway. There are multiple other kinds that are coarser (not ground as fine), richer in taste, and infused with ingredients like pieces of bacon. Personally I prefer the coarser ones, and it is absolutely perfect if it is heated, and served with strips of crispy bacon. 🤤
The first child on the tin was the son of one of the directors at Stabburet (the company that makes that particular brand of leverpostei), and the picture was used because they thought it was fitting. So no particular reason other than the fact that a smiling kid gave positive vibes.
uppdate - YES, leverpostei is one of the healthiest thing you can have on ur bread, and i think its realy cool to see an american who usualy is used to all theese cemicals in their food, so even though you dident quite like it (i woud personaly rank this a 7.8/10) you can at least comfort you with it beeing insaneley good for you :)
Paste eating hack:
The trick with paste on bread is to “less is more” really scrape it so there isn’t much on it. Then you add more if you feel like it doesn’t taste alot. You took too much on for a beginner to easily handle. Try adding a couple of freshly cut cucumber slices, only a couple, for an added fresh taste.
Bread + real butter + liverpaste + slices of cucumber (+ mayonnaise) In this order (from bottom to top). This would enhance your experience ;)
Eating thanksgiving every other day sounds pretty amazing to me just from leverpostei! Great video, from norway I am, and yes I love Leverpostei
Leverpostei is our Peanut butter. I love the stuff,but i'm used to it. It only stay fresh for a day or two when opend.Hope someone send him tube cheese (not something fancy but the good old Baconost or Skinkeost) or some Nugatti,it's more pleasent for newbeginners i would think. I cant,dont know his adress.
Points for trying Tyler! For me, it is the taste of my childhood, but I haven't had it for years...I should have it again soon!
You need butter before you spread the leverpostei. The flavors works together and it's too dry without it.
Matter of opinion. And how will it be dry? It’s frkn liver pate🫠
@@kilipaki87oritahiti Pate has low volume of liquid. That's literally the point of pate. Little liquid to make it more firm. Soft butter however has a high liquid volume, and the salt makes the taste much much stronger.
I have to have margarine with it, butter if I don't have margarine. Cucumber or red beet slices on top is excellent.
There was an old advert? where a small boy ate liver paste and liked it very much. And ever since, it has been the face of a boy on the can.
Growing up eating leverpostei was not an issue for me, but after growing up I had the same thoughts as you eating it. I can still eat it, but if I get in my head about the thought of liver, I can taste the iron and meaty taste and it will just grow in my mouth and be impossible to swallow. Don’t think, just eat. Can recommend using garnish like pickles or pickled beets on top.
Try leverpostei with bacon, thats good. And if you put pickled red beets on top it is amazing!
As opposed to some people here, I prefer leverpostei with ground black pepper or lemon pepper, and a bit of mayo.
Can't wait for Tyler to try _makrell i tomat_ lol
08:20 To be fair, Norwegians - most, I'd imagine, at least - don't think anything more about Leverpostei than it simply being a spread to put on bread and eat.
And I don't think there are many that enjoy leverpostei, at least not by its lonesome on the bread.
It's pretty normal to put other things on the bread on top of the leverpostei to make it more of a sandwich than just bread with a spread on, like perhaps with a couple slices of cucumber and cheese, or maybe even with a wedge/boat of cherry tomato, some adding salt on top of it all for extra flavor.
First put on some butter on your bread. Then Leverpostei, and on top you have some red pepper. Very very good :)
if you get it freshly baked it's good.
you did get it in a can so generally not great.
normal shelf life is a few days, but the canned stuff is years.
You should top it with some crispy "fried"onion, pickled red beet, some mayo and some salt and pepper... Yummy!!! 😋😋😋
Tyler... You just tried our worst liverpaté..😂 Try the baked , it's minced and much rougher in concistency, but it has bacon, and are DELISH ❤ Try the one from Gilde. It's much darker, and more like the natural home-made patés. In my house we make it with bacon and fried muchrooms❤
A lot of people have this with butter/margarin first, then the «leverpostei» and then on top they ad mayo and pickes. Which might make it taste a but better for you. Just as a tip 😄
i dont know if someone has said this but im very impressed you remember «matpakke» !! :D
The child´s face is because Leverpostei is very suitable for children. Every year there´s a competition to select the next year´s "Leverpistei child". It´s quite an honor to have your child´s face on the tin. Have it on bread with butter and pickled cucumbers. Lovely.
Well done! Freshly ground black pepper and a few cucumber slices is mandatory on leverpostei in my house 😄
somebody send this man a can of Surströmming for laughs :D
First of all, it should be cold. Becomes more soft-tasty and neutral. Also alot of people use it with butter under, and with pickles on. Should try it that way, alot better than leaving it alone on a dry loaf of bread.
you eat is the content on the bread after you have chilled the box in the fridge, you take the lid of you place it upside down on on a small chinadish and chill it. then you place the the leverpostei in the bread i think is taste better that way.
Put some butter too and pickle gurcken
@@anneskuse5448 yup that also.
Not really paste, but patè (unsure of where the little thingy over the e goes)
Hahaha🙈 This, with majo, is my go to breakfast before work😂
