Liver - Yes, liver. Does the thought of eating liver make you feel hungry? Or does it make you feel sick? For little mouths around Norway it is the former. Kids everywhere eat liverpate and love it. Many eat it just about every day! Think of it as Norway's peanut butter. It is smeared on bread and gobbled up (though not with jelly!). If you don't think you would like it, I challenge you to come over for lunch. You might be surprised!
More about lunch - This one is for you New Yorkers who eat lunch at 1 or 2 in the afternoon. The general lunchtime at Norwegian businesses is 11:30. Sometimes even as early as 11! And it is a quick affair. No lounging around for an hour or more. It is still a social time and lots of fun to talk with colleagues, but I have found that it is best to pick food that requires little chewing so you actually have time to talk. Soup it is!

Hey - liver is one of those great foods to give toddlers because of the high fat and cholesterol content that their bodies actually need (and ours get way too much of!), like we were talking about. I hadn't thought to suggest it b/c they don't recommend it in the states anymore. (Liver also has a higher concentration of bad-for-you stuff since the liver filters out and ultimately retains all kinds of junk - think mercury if we were talking fish - can't remember what chemicals or diseases we are concerned with. I am guessing Norweigan standards are much higher and that is why it is safe. Eat up!
