sammiches

Norwegians don't eat normal sandwiches. Rather, they take a loaf of bread, saw off a thick slice, put some meat or cheese or something else on top of it, and then eat. Many also put some sort of meat spread on the bread. I'm not sure what kind of meat, but it comes in a squeeze tube, and some of the tubes have pictures of shrimp or pigs or fish on them. I thought at first that the Norwegians were somehow turning meat into a paste and putting it in a tube with the appropriate pic. However, I came across some tubes with pictures of Gerber babies on them, so I'm hoping that's not the case.

Wow. Norwegians eat babies? That's disgusting.

A side note that I'm sure you'll care about - I actually have eaten (and still eat) many open-faced sandwiches as you describe... I now think it might be from my Danish side of my family, as it was my grandma that got me accustomed to eating that way.

Have you tried medisterpolse yet? It's Danish sausage. Kind of gross. I assume they have it in Norway too.

I've tried wienerpolse, but that's about it. High fat content...
