Instead of "Smilin' Bob" they have "Smilin' Bjorn".

Even though it's not as good as it used to be (but then, neither am I!), I'll stick to Heluva Good extra sharp cheese.

The saddest part of living on the west coast... no Heluva Good, no Grandma Browns Baked Beans... and damn few good ristorantes.

Went to an authentic Norwegian smorgasbord once, expecting a wonderful dining experience. Seems like there were fifty kinds of salted fish. (Yum)

But the highlight was the opportunity to eat a whale steak. Want to know what whale steak tastes like> Imagine liver marinaded in fish oil. Double Yummy.

I remember my grandmother putting lutefisk in lye water in the bathtub. I NEVER ate lutefisk after that. Now, the cookies are wonderful!

Good morning.
"The saddest part of living on the west coast..."

Isn't that a problem that Internet commerce solves?

The saddest part of living on the east coast can only be solved by moving to the west coast.

Take some cheese, stuff it in an old sock, bury it in manure under the barn and when it is ready, it will crawl out."

Ihave no idea. I would never taste it! I wouldn't take a bath in her tub either, after seeing that. But I love the cookies!

One story I heard attesting to the intensity of Gamalost's flavor was that when an old-timer was asked how Gamalost was made, he replied, "Take some cheese, stuff it in an old sock, bury it in manure under the barn and when it is ready, it will crawl out."

ROFL

Gamelost or Lutefisk? I'm sure Minnesota and places in Brooklyn or the midwest would have it. Perhaps the larger grocery markets like Wegman's in Syracuse and Rochester. They carry just about everything. Maybe you can get on the Sons of Norway website and they might have a link to foods. Good luck.

Behold the power of cheese.

I wanted to post that.

Oh, well, maybe I can find a place for a "Gritty Kitty Kitty Litter" reference on another thread...
