  • Hah! Lutefisk, yet another dish that exists today purely for nostalgia. It would also probably fail every food safety test in existence today if it wasn't grandfathered in.

    For those not in the know, it's fish preserved in lye, which is an extremely toxic substance. Preparing the dish involves cooking it for long enough to fully neutralise the lye, and any failure to fully do so results in poisoning, which can range from mild to extremely serious. I also hate to imagine what byproducts might be left behind as a result of the lye.

  • Brunost, brown cheese, which is something of an acquired taste. Cherry cheese. Tubed caviar, which is not the fancy gourmet dish you'd expect from the name. Offhand that's what comes to mind about uniquely Norwegian stuff.

  • Ironically, the most popular frozen pizza in Norway, Grandiosa, is considered something of a national dish. It's also one of the worst frozen pizzas you'll ever try, and is mainly popular only because of nostalgia.
