I cant help but write about waffles again, cause I see them every day. I just thought i might
share with you all, what we norwegian people eat on or waffles. They are ususly eaten as a pastry, with coffie (never as breakfast). You go to a café (like the one I work on) and you order a waffle and a cup of coffee. Usually these people who order this put strawberry jam and sour cream.
I’ve actually never tasted sour cream on a waffle before, and most of the foreign people who come to the café asks what it is, and when they hear that it’s sour cream, they never want it. I dont know what it is about it..
But yes, that is the most used topping on a waffle in Norway. And then Norwegian Brown/goat cheese come in a close second?

In Norway we do not have starbucks. Nor in any coutries that are close. So when I travel over sea to Britain, I enjoy a good Soy Mocca! Omg that is soooooo goood! Appearently (or so I’ve heard) Starbucks can never open in Norway because we are to few people here, and they need X people to visit each day, and we are to few to even come close…
With that said, in Norway we have alot of other coffeebars. Privat, small, sweet coffeeplaces. They are really good at making coffee too! But is like, something special to go to Starbucks when we dont have it here in Norway!
With that said, i dont think I want starbucks in Norway. Cause there is a charm with the small home-made-ish coffeeplaces we have

So, do you have Capri Sonne where you live? The best of the best drinks ever!
This one is Jungle Drink, I think this one is the best atm. They have ALOT of flavours!
I have to buy them in sweeden, cause in norway they sell like one and one, and they cost as much as 5 in sweeden. So when I go shopping in sweeden, i shop like 40 Capri Sonne with me home!
They are originaly from Germany? I believe so, cause Sonne is Sun in german. The Capri Sonne is called Capri Sun in America right?

The best liquorice i believe is: Pingvin Salt Pastiller. They are from Denmark if im not mistaken. And they are super salt and super good!

And while we’re at it. Heksehyl. (Witchscream is the english word). That is another AWESOME liquorice!! I’m telling you!
I dont know if you have this kind of candy where you live. Whereever you live in the world. But I found a place for you where you can buy this candy.
Scandiafood! There you can buy these extreemly good Pingvin lakris (Penguin Liquorice)!
They also have, Lakrisal and Tyrkisk Pepper!

omg. There is so many good types of liquorice! You should absolutly try these if you have not tasted them before!
I was actually only going to write about the pingvin salt liquorice, but when I found that site, i just hade to tell you about all the others aswell! Love it! These candy is mostly from Denmark and Sweeden!

At my work, the Café, I make alot of waffles. But with the new waffle maker the waffles get to crispy. They are like huge waffle crackers. So I had to do something about it, and that fast! Costumers was beginning to complaine about the crispyness of the waffles, that broke when I put them on to their plates. So I made this wafflehouse:

Now the heat of the waffle, will become steam and the steam will soften up the waffles! No more angry costumers! Only happyfaces!
