In our conversation today, Alexandra who grew up near the oldest town in Norway, established in 898, shares absolutely delightful memories of ancient Norwegian Christmas traditions that she experienced both as a child and as a mother.

She contributed a recipe for her mom's Chocolate Peppermint balls - sort of a mint chocolate truffle - or an especially beautiful homemade Peppermint Patty. In today's episode, she also shares a recipe for the special Rice Pudding left for Saint Nicholas on Christmas Eve. In our conversation today, Alexandra who grew up near the oldest town in Norway, established in 898, shares absolutely delightful memories of sweet, ancient Christmas traditions that she's experienced both as a child and as a mother. You may recognize these as the basis of so many American Christmas traditions and imagery - before the layers of consumerism were slapped on top.

In this episode, we will look at Norwegian Christmas food, especially focusing on pork belly, pinnekjøtt and lutefisk. Pork belly is the most common dish to have on Christmas Eve and about 55 % of Norwegians eat it then. It is most commonly eaten in the eastern and middle parts of the country. The reason for this is that these areas are the traditional wheat areas of Norway, and therefore also the traditional swineherding regions. Nonetheless, pork belly is also eaten in other parts of the country, but less seldom on Christmas Eve. To make a really good pork belly, it is important that the temperature is just right and then you cook it for about two to three hours. It is important to turn the temperature up towards the end as you want the rind to become crispy. Pork belly is usually served with potatoes, sour cabbage, medister cakes and prunes or apples. On the western coast of Norway, Pinnekjøtt is more common. About 74% in the western part of the country eats Pinnekjøtt on Christmas Eve, compared to only 14% in the east. Pinnekjøtt is dried, salted and smoked mutton which is put in water the day before cooking it. It is usually damped rather than boiled. It is normally served with mashed rutabaga and potatoes. It is really old and has probably been eaten as a Christmas dish since the 16th century.

We had to pack for the beach, AND for the snow. We saw the polar lights AND went on a husky dog sledding trip! We met Santa Claus AND Mrs. Claus! #christmasinnorway #NorwegianChristmastraditions #norwaychristmastraditionsIn 2017 we took the family on a whirlwind trip to celebrate Christmas in Norway. We started in Texas and took a Disney cruise to the Bahamas. Then we flew from Texas to Olso, Norway for Christmas day and then up to Tromso, Norway for a Northern Lights winter cruise through the Artic circle. We lost our luggage with all our Christmas presents! We missed our flight to Tromso! We had to find a new airbnb on Christmas Eve! We fell asleep in the hotel lobby. Basically, everything went wrong this trip. It wouldn't be a normal vacation if everything went according to plan! But still, we loved every minute and it was amazing!

Norwegian Christmas food is a strong reminder of just how important traditional preservation techniques such as fermenting, pickling, salting, curing and smoking meat and fish were in order to survive the harsh winters. Before the discovery of oil, the country was poor and reliant on sustenance fishing and farming. Within that construct there was still plenty of room for innovation, creativity and the ability to ensure that everything could and should be eaten. In this weeks episode Ingrid, Elise and Jonas talk about traditional yuletide cuisine, Smalahove, Pinnekjøtt and Lutefisk. Jay, Tristan and Jimmy talk about their experiences with Nordic xmas food and the growing interest in alternatives to the traditional meat, fat and salt heavy dishes.

You've arrived at the 5th Annual Norwegian Christmas Spectacular!  You'll hear all about Christmas traditions in Norway and the United States; including tasting Julebrus for the first time, Santa Claus vs. Julenisse, traditional dishes in different parts of Norway, and maybe a special Norwegian treat from my wife Anne-Dorthe. Please head over to zerototravel.com for the full show notes.

Some bizarre news about in flight use of the Grindr app, shooting yourself in the dick at Wal-Mart, being named ABCDE, stealing from dead people, and suing the legal weed store because you got too high (*because you got high.. la da da da..*). ***************************************************** “Party Crowd 2” by Kolezan is licensed under CC BY 3.0 “Bong Hit” by OnionEye is licensed under CC BY 3.0 “Breath in and out Cigarette” by OnionEye is licensed under CC BY-NC 3.0 “Metal Loop” by thunderstorm10 is licensed under CC BY 3.0 “Scream 1” by TheSubber13 is licensed under CC BY-NC 3.0 ****************************************************** Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel and like us on facebook, Instagram, and on Twitter.

In November of 2016, an intrepid cast, band, and crew entered North Hollywood, California's El Portal Theatre, and set up for the brilliant challenge of recording twenty-five short, holiday-themed stories before a live audience. Like an advent calendar, but with less religious-affiliation and only slightly less chocolate, the 2016 Audio Advent Calendar was born. It was too good to hear just once.  Today's flashback episode takes us to Norway! "Norwegian Christmas" is a story of the personal Christmases of actor/improvisor/writer Jennifer Flack. Written and performed by Jenny, with intro and outro music by Gary Grantham and Scott Passarella. This one may not make you hungry, but it will make you want to hug your loved ones.
