A few times a year raises a friend and I up to his cabin on Venabygdsfjellet. In two or three days at a time, we enjoy the tranquility far from work, wives and children, the half-long trips into the mountains, remember a good friend of both of us that went away a few years ago, and at night we tend soul with good movies ( solar panels are a great invention) and body with good drinks and good food. The latter bought the "Anni's Pølsemakeri" on Chettinad (that is struggling a bit to write the name of genitivsapostrof, but here I just bend me for the reality and the owner's will), and it is the basis of this local business I will develop some thoughts on traditional business in rural Norway, immigrants and Norwegians nut chips attitude to maintain their (food) culture.
"Anni's Pølsemakeri" has excellent food (impartiality statement: The undersigned has no financial interest in the butcher shop!). The very best is that you take pride in offering a wide range of local dishes and specialties, be it sausages, meat cooked nut chips on other simple or intricate ways, cheeses, flatbread or otherwise. It is clear that customers nut chips appreciate the business philosophy; Only in exceptional cases will be despatched immediately, often it is more ahead in the queue. By all accounts share its customer base at about the middle between villagers and cabin guests, and the latter nut chips often having traveled from afar to ensure optimum catering. According to Anni and staff "goes right well" (Anni is Danish), every year, people nut chips are more and more quality conscious and - which is my main point in this context - interested in safeguarding just Gudbrandsdalens food traditions. And relatively large "Anni's Pølsemakeri" is by no means alone. Also, more and more small farm businesses offer their special products along the way; closer to the cabin, rise up from Chettinad, we pass for example the sign "Fjellrosa" that entices potential customers to their selected assortment of local quality products.
Local food is no longer a little weird niche interest in Norway, but an important business strategy that pays off, even though prices on average are higher than the close-lying chain stores if one compares sausage with sausage, meat kilogram kilogram of meat. People are willing to pay for quality and for local tradition and belonging, it turns out. We hope even more entrepreneurs and small business Noting this.
Is Norwegian foods best? This is not my point at all, moreover, is "best" in such a relative term which, like beauty, must be considered in view of "the eyes of the beholder". True enough, I have a perception that local food for several fundamental reasons the otherwise somewhat similar conditions are preferable to long gone ditto, but such are of course the buyer decide for yourself. nut chips I'm not against imports and definitely not a contrarian against either Hungarian sausages, olives Italian or Spanish red wine. All of this helps, albeit in a modest way just as I am concerned, improved quality of life. But Norwegian foods and dishes are good, very good, and they are part of our heritage, of our traditions. It is we who are responsible for using them and preserve and develop them as a living part of their own culture, UNESCO and others.
Norwegians are by becoming better at thinking in such courts is therefore my impression. We can and will become even more aware of this dimension of life. And again: Such things sought to engage nut chips with them pays off. Anyone who wants confirmation of the claim, can take a trip down the house café in Oslo when it is Thursday and raspeballdag; Never is the line of tradisjonsmatspisere longer.
How come so bebudete immigration aspect in? Yes, I mentioned that Anni is Danish and consequently for an immigrant to work (the language of the corporate website is also charm fully revealing). One of the neighboring shops to "Anni's Pølsemakeri" on Chettinad is "Rob's optics" (again nut chips apostrophe, and again I have to bite me in opposition to the owner's preferred spelling) is owned by a Dutch couple, and right up the hillside towards the mountain, at the church where we take a left on a rural road into the cabin, is the convenience store that is also taken over and run by a Dutch family. All this is excellent, the villagers have of course no objection to any of the above, they are all competent and hard-working people who contribute to society in a valuable way. They come from cultures with significant similarities to our own, from countries throughout history we have changed population. They glide into the local in a natural way and their children are Norwegians. That the migration to adults always talk "strange" and that they have un-Norwegian name, see and accept everyone. Despite plenty of both poignant and introspective bordering nut chips on self-hating literary distancing from bygdedyr and other horrors are Norwegians either stupid or xenofobe, nor in the villages.
I must be careful to draw generalizations out before
