Don't give Diesel any ideas.

More advent calendar chocolate for me today.

It's Lindt .

Work Christmas meal and my kind colleagues have just presented me with a leaving gift.

A LOTB calendar!

Does it have chocolate in it?

Seems like I'll be heading northwest tomorrow for a quick work trip ... hope the flight home on Sunday isn't halted by weather, I don't want to be stuck up there for Christmas. They eat weird food there.

Like fermented fish, or is that just the north of Sweden?

Doesn't need any - Maiden are sweet enough without that (even Nicko )

 

[Brigantium]

Great pointless poll idea - what sort of centre would each member of Maiden have if they were a chocolate?

I don’t think it was worthy of starting a thread for. It’s Maiden related though.

I'm glad we visited the Cart and Horses instead.

Wiz already mentioned this a few pages back:

The Ruskin Arms has been shut down after a customer was viciously attacked by two others and the pub didn't phone the police.

 

[Perun]

I thought the Ruskin Arms was supposed to have been demolished ten years ago or so...

Actually, it reopened 10 years ago.

Actually, we have fermented fish in East Norway (and it's not that popular in the west, it's mainly an inland thing - in the coastal regions they have usually salted and dried the fish). But it's a less extreme variety than the Swedish one, and usually trout is used. I quite enjoy it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakfisk

The Swedish specialty Surströmming is made from Baltic herring. I have never tasted (or smelled) it myself, but I've heard it's in a different league odor-wise.

No, I was referring to the Western Norway tradition of eating "pinnekjøtt", steamed ribs of mutton, for Christmas - rather than the - in my opinion - much more appealing pork belly that is traditionally eaten here in the east.

Feast your eyes on this heart attack of a meal.

God damn I'm hungry.

You have belly pork for Christmas dinner? Norway is getting increasingly appealing.

 

[Edington]

May I ask what the cylindrical thing with the cross in the top is? On the right, looks like some sort of sausage.

And we flush it down with the season's variety of beer.

It is sausage. As if the pork belly side didn't have enough fat

Something tells me that the tradition was established in a time where the average Norwegian didn't have to worry about weight control.
