Do swedes not do bagels? I've been in Sweden for a few days driving from Malmö to Gothenburg to the Smålands and stopping regularly in-between and have searched basically every store I've come across for bagels and so far only found them once in a gigantic Ica Maxi today. I would except they''d at least have frozen bagels but no dice. The Coop in Växjö did have some sort of Balkan pastry called "Burek", which was absolutely fantastic, but not even a trace of bagels.

axolotl farmer posted:Proper chewy bagels are rare. The coffee chains like Espreso House usually sell something they call a bagel, but it’s just a regular white roll shaped like a donut and covered in poppyseeds. A bagel shouldn’t be crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Thanks a bunchas tribute to the thread here's my attempt at heating frozen croissants on the grill after one of many fruitless attempts at finding bagels.  It was a failed experiment but not as bad as I first thought. Mostly because as they melted in my not sufficiently cooled cooler they congealed into one big dough chunk resulting in the mess you see.

I've had pizza in Italy several times and honestly the quality difference between a real Italian pizza and the average pizza anywhere else in the world I've been is not that big. It's all just flatbread with some cheese and tomato sauce, it's pretty hard to gently caress up, even the shittiest cheapest pizza is still edible. I should note that I've never been south of Bologna so maybe I've only had some dire northern pizzas or something.

Icelandic Dominos is actually pretty good. Not as good as like artisanal fire baked pizza in Italy or something but on a fast-food chain pizza standard it's perfectly acceptable. I hear American Domino's is dire.

Sidenote: the southern BBQ place Way Down South in Oslo serves some of the best food I've had in my life. Probably helps that the owner is an actual American albeit a Yankee.

Alhazred posted:Which is still somewhat better than urine soaked shark. Also, the "people eat frozen pizza for christmas" thing have been greatly exaggerated: Urine soaked shark has been marginal for about 100 years and mostly meant as a sort of dare to be washed down with akavit. Like Drop Bears, mostly a gimmick for scaring foreigners.

 This is probably about as "traditional" as a robot servant but it does a good job of keeping everything for lazy nights when you don't feel like wrapping.

I feel like every time I hear about a polar expedition its something along the line of: "Food ran out after only two weeks because expedition leader Percy Montague Arthur George Maria Featherstonehaugh 7th earl of Scunthorpe, a hemophiliac who had never seen a boat before, insisted that he needed to bring his collection of 43 antique grandfather clocks leaving little space in the hold for food. The earl died shortly after from exposure as he forgot to bring a coat."

It's probably good. It's the traditional Icelandic Yuletide foods combined into a taco. The shell is laufabrauð (fried thin bread cut with intricate patterns. Usually more flat and pancake shaped), the filling is minced hangikjöt (dung smoked lamb), mushed green peas, and red cabbage topped with uppstúfur (basically a more sugary bechamel). In non taco form it looks like this

Imagine if all the the most eccentric and antisocial Norwegians moved away and spent a thousand years inbreeding on a desolate rock in the north Atlantic constantly ravaged by famine, natural disasters, and disease. And you get a nation whose idea of food is pickled leftovers.
