Ethan 12/8/13 Topaz 11/2hrs Traditional Norwegian food is based upon easily accessible food in Norway. Most of that was meat and fish. Traditional Norwegians often ate meat raw, but I believe that raw meat is a little too dangerous, instead I found other traditional recipes, all of which contain either fish or meat. My worlds fair pavilion will consist of a small Smörgåsbord (a nordic buffet), consisting of Fiskesuppe (fish soup), Røkt Laks (smoked salmon), Kjottkaker (Norwegian meatballs) and multiple bottles of Voss (Norwegian water popular in the United states).

I believe that all three meat based meals represents the olive tree of Norway. Fish and meat have always been the preferred choice of food in Norway since it is easy to find and quite delicious. Smoked salmon, fish soup and Norwegian meatballs are three very classic meals in Norway, and it’ll be fun getting to share it. I will provide paper plates, paper bowls, plastic forks, paper spoons and napkins, so that everyone can enjoy the cuisine.

I believe that Voss creates a great way to represent globalization. Voss is a Norwegian brand of water that is exported internationally. Voss is considered one of the purest waters in the world and is a novelty in the United States. I believe that the food I will be serving will also represent globalization. I believe this because; before the discovery of oil and natural gas in Norway, fish and game were Norway’s biggest exports, and even today, Norway’s biggest export to Japan is fish.
