Just spent two weeks in Norway in August, and did it a completely different way -- we spent as little time as possible in the cities, and just hit the road and and got off the beaten path with some amazing AirBnB stays at amazing prices (only stayed a total of three of the nights in actual hotels. As such, we just hit the local grocery stores (Kiwi, Rema 1000, etc) and stocked up on goodies to feed us each day. It was far more economical, with many things being of roughly comparable prices to the US, and the quality of the food that the locals shop for is excellent. In fact, we got so spoiled by the fresh-baked delicious varieties of hearty breads available right on the shelf in every grocery store (for $3 a loaf) that since we got back home to the US, we haven't been able to stomach even walking down the bread aisles here in our grocery stores, much less buy and eat any of it.
Also, for snacks, we thought that Kvikk Lunsj tasted better than KitKats, but you also have to try Smash! (just like Bugles corn snacks here in the US, but covered in milk chocolate, and the paprika potato chips, yum!

This was a very uninformed video about what to eat I Norway. There are very good food with exceptional high quality ingredients in most restaurants. The portions might be smaller than Americans are used too and the price higher, but the quality is amazing. Luckily there are several other more informative videoes than this one on YouTube. I would recommend to try traditional Norwegian food, fish and shell food and we also have many good Indian, Mexican and Italian restaurants.

1) Only buy Leif Vidar hotdogs. They are the best quality in Norway. You can see Leif Vidar in this video.
2) Fresh whale beef is tasty, healthy, meaty and cheap. It's great. Fresh whale stew in brown sauce with potato and beer is close to heaven.
3) Real Norwegians get their protein from a farmer or fisherman or buy it direct from the factory. Whale is actually a cheap meat when you buy it fresh from the source.

No mention of Lefsa and Kringla! Those 2 are the best. Norwegian desserts and coffee cakes, are good to go. No nasty lutefisk or pickled herring! Many Norwegians like Kumla, Im not crazy about it, but can eat it. As an American Norske-mix from Illinois, I know some of the good stuff to eat!

Tipping is not customery in Norway. Not that you can't do it. But it's not like anyone is gonna throw you to the curb if you don't. If you add the 16 % + tip that you have to pay in the USA for instance, Norway is not that far off in comparison. Tip is either already included or not expected.

Norway is still on my list to visit, a former co-worker from Germany owns property there, hunting lands, and ice fishing in the winter. Love the brown Norwegian cheese, has a taste like peanut butter, and the sell it at the local health store here in NC.

note that elk in Northern Europe is what North Americans call moose. Biological name alces. What North Americans call elk is actually wapiti. But when early travellers to America from Europe saw a wapiti they said Hey, there's an elk.

A lot of Norwegians will cook and eat at home, rather than go out. It's not all frozen pizza and hotdogs. It depends on what part of the country you're in. Oslo is a kind of tourist trap city imo lol.

Have you been to the Molde Jazz Festival? It's the oldest jazz festival in Europe and you can usually see some of the long list of world famous Norwegian jazz musicians there.
