Noooope, I do not really miss brunost, the brown goat cheese from from Norway. I can also live without lefse, fiskeboller and raspeball. But I have to admit: at this time of the year I am looonging for some of the traditional Norwegian Christmas food. Not all are easy to re-create here in India- but please know that I am trying:-)
My new best friend, by the way, is my husband's colleague who actually brought us pinnekjøtt from Norway when he was visiting last week.
The X-mas spirit can be a bit tricky to stay in for a long time when it is 30 degrees and sun outside. Today my son asked me: Why don't we have risengrynsgrøt anymore?. That is a reeeally christmassy dish!
Well, we had rice and we had milk - so today we had risengrynsgrøt with cinnamon, sugar and raisins on the top. We were sitting outside, eating and sweating in our Mumbai air:-) But the X-mas spirit was there, I assure you! So much that I spontaniously decided to make kakemenner too while listening to " I'll be home with bells on".
Well, that was today.
Tomorrow we'll have butter chicken, salad and chapatti. After all, we are in India guys!:-)
