Each region of Norway has its own traditional Christmas food. Northern Norway goes for lutefisk (lye-cured cod). Western Norway dishes out pinnejøtt (salted, dried, reconstituted, then steamed mutton or lamb ribs). And around Oslo, ribbe (pork belly) is #1. Moods of Norway, one of our favorite (now-defunct) stores, encouraged Norwegians to advertise their personal preference via these sweaters. I tried to con Matthew into buying one. No dice.
