Norwegian Food or not Norwegian Food?

To eat Norwegian food or not in Norway?
By Guest Blogger (Lower Management)

It's not such a tough choice in Oslo because there are no Norwegian restaurants. The honeymooners spent 2 nights in Oslo- night 1 was a Burger King fest because nothing else was open near midnight and the better half refused to eat at one of the 50 kebab places open until 5am. Night 2 was a fruitless search through central Oslo (on a Friday night!) for a bonafide Norwegian place, ending up with boring and expensive French food. We saw everything- Chinese, kebabs, French, Italian, Irish, steaks, a lot of bars, but no Norwegian food. Unbeliveable. All the places in the book were 5-star or outside of downtown.

With all that, why was I surprised to find there are no Norwegian restaurants in New York? The last one apparently succumbed to a Chinese place ~10 years ago, bizarrely sharing a menu for a few years after Chinese management acceeded to begging from Norwegians to keep some items.
