French and Norwegian Food

A sampling of wonderful French and Norwegian foods-- Maria's family introduced to me to so much Norwegian food I could not capture enough of it in my photos. I want to especially thank Maria's mother for being such a great cook and preparing such a great selection for me.


French Dishes:




Salad with egg, sausage (I think made with some part of the neck of a duck), and pâté







Beef and tomato sauce and excellent French wine








Crème brûlée and an apple dish








I love crème brûlée!







Norwegian Food:




Norwegian salmon (lox) with sour cream








Maria's mother's signature salad (lettuce, tomato, red pepper, and lemon juice)







Beef and chicken kebab, baked potato, and grilled corn on the cob




















Jarlsberg cheese







Brown cheese, a Norwegian specialty, has a slightly sweet taste and is very soft.








This was the most common Norwegian cheese that we ate on almost every thing. It was slightly less mild than swiss cheese.
















Bread stuffed with beef, egg, and onion. I think this was a dish that Maria's mom had from Turkey.
