Location: Snåsa, Norway | I'm really new to this forum, jumped straight in with some questions. I do pick guitar as a hobby (my wife says obsession). I live in Norway and I'm curious to know if there are any other Norwegians on this forum, or anyone with any scandinavian relations. I really like what I've seen so far, and feel at home here! |

| There is some great food/cooking in Norway. And they are all tall. And they take jazz seriously. You'll never visit anywhere more beautiful - unless you have a desperate need for palm trees. |

Location: Chicago | Norway? Jazz? Let's not forget Jan Garbarek. Long before he "took up the runes" he was a beyond-Art-Pepper free-jazzer. Check out his CD "Tryptikon" and of course the classic work with Jarrett. A personal favorite is "All Those Born With Wings". His "Runes" CD was No#1 in the charts when it came out. Dig it! |

As for the food discussion, I'm a farmer with both sheep and dairy cattle, so I recommend Norwegian lamb an Jarlsberg cheese! |

Could you clarify something for me? Aren't Denmark and Iceland also considered as part of Scandinavia? I always thought that they were. |

Location: Copenhagen Denmark | Seems as if the Norwegians have discovered music,probably imported from Copenhagen :D Kidding aside politically, Scandinavia is comprised of Danmark-Sweden-Norway,historically ,all countries where NORSE was spoken were part of it ( incl. Finland and Iceland) but.. french fries are best in Belgium,typical Norwegian dish would be meatballs,potatoes,cauliflower with a white sauce.. ( Kjøtkake blomkål og vite sovs )and how I know all this ?..I have a 26 year old daughter ( Norwegian mother ) and I have lived in Oslo for a number of years,ha`det så lange.. ;)
