Norwegian culinary Delights: The Hushovd Diet...

Remember when Thor Hushovd went to his parents camper for dinner during the 2005 Tour? Well if you don't remember he did and it was all over the papers in Europe. As one of the sprinting stars of the Pro Tour Hushovd is a man that gets attention and this didn't escape the mainstream media foxes. Anyways as a p-productions exclusive I give you the Hushovd meal that was consumed that sunny day in July in the back of that Norwegian camper. The Norwegian karbonade as prepared by my incredibly talented mother.

This dish is comprised of pan fried spiced meat balls, fried onion, tyttebaer jam, boiled potato, steamed carrots and the all important pea mush (ertestuing).

Everyday food with extraordinary results. Hushovd takes another win.

Screw the food science. Eat starch and meat!

Although bread is probobly the basis of the norwegian diet, fish is the main staple over meat. I will have to post an actual fish dinner next in the culinary delights series.
Norwegians are not known to embrace such practices as vegetarianism Jon, although I respect and admire your dedication to it.
Do you eat fish? I don't know much about the various vegetarian types. Are there some people who just don't eat beef? Perhaps your are a vegan?

I was mostly kidding about the meat. It's not something I like but others seem to enjoy it so good on them.

I do eat fish and I love it. I eat all seafood but don't eat any red meat (including pork) and eat very little dairy (only yogourt, cottage cheese and chocolate). I love eggs and turkey and will on occassion eat chicken (it's difficult in Alberta to get a really vegetarian meal). So when it comes down to it, I'm really just a picky eater. ;)
