Norway’s oil adventure • 1969 - Ekofisk In the late 1950 s, very few people believed that the Norwegian continental shelf might conceal rich oil and gas deposits. However, the discovery of gas at Groningen in the Netherlands in 1959 caused people to revise their thinking on the petroleum potential of the North Sea. With the Ekofisk discovery in 1969, the Norwegian oil adventure really began. Production from the field started on 15 June 1971, and in the following years a number of major discoveries were made.

What do we eat? Smoked Salmon or Røkt Laks Salmon is a key part of a Norwegian diet, as the country’s long coastline and many fjords produce ample amounts of fish. Kjøttboller Meat also constitutes a number of Norwegian delicacies, such as Kjøttboller or kjøttkaker. These can be described as rougher version of Swedish meatballs. Differing from their Scandinavian cousins, Kjøttboller are a more loosely bound patty of beef flavored with ginger and nutmeg and then fried. Fårikål Due to its northerly position, Norway experiences long and harsh winters. Nothing therefore warms Norwegians up more than a hearty stew, particularly a bowl of Fårikål Pinnekjøtt Christmas time in Norway features a number of unique and unusual delicacies, one of which ispinnekjøtt. Smalahove Another festive specialty dish is the unusual and not for the faint-hearted smalahove, which is made from a sheep’s head. Originally associated with lower classes in Norwegian society, and more commonly eaten in western parts of Norway, it has now gained popularity among many Norwegians On Fridays most Norwegians eat taco for dinner, which is far from Norwegian.
