Oh, yes, every single time I go to visit family and friends in Norway, the first thing I eat is pølse med brød (or occasionally i lompe) and I always buy it all for 17 May to make at home (from the excellent Scandi café and online supermarket ‘Scandinavian Kitchen’, based in London’s Great Titchfield St.). I often eat mine with rekesalat (yes, the shrimp salad, but only in Norway because in the UK you only have the option of prawn cocktail and it’s not the same!)

I first came across the Norwegian pølser in late 1950s when I visited Voss with a college friend. Opposite the small hotel (a pensionet) was a cafe which was frequented by the young and which advertised its menu painted on the cafe’s windows. It was also there I met the young woman who was,within a few years, to be come my wife for 60 years. Alas she died a couple of years ago but the memories of that fast food has a place in my heart.

The first thing off the plane at Gardermoen is after customs, we turn left (or follow the smell) for the first wiener in lompe before even leaving the airport. Enough said!
