Address: Oslo-Bergen route
Style: Norwegian
Price: $$
[*sighs* Well, I've run out of bakeries for the time being. :( Which means I'm going into desperate mode and posting some of these long overdue entries. Sorry, folks.]
It's actually kind of funny how the quintessential Norwegian dessert classics I ended up trying were actually not purchased at any bakery or cafe, but in these totally random locations, like at the NSB bistro on the way from Bergen back to Oslo. In this and the other case, it was simply because it was the cheapest thing you could get while at the same time getting some sort of feeling of fullness from it. :/
So, here's the first treat. Actually, we did pick this out based on not only the price (I think it was something like 450kr for a large portion) but from the description (a Norwegian classic -- part of their 'classics revived' series): traditional pancakes, although traditionally, these should be served with a fresh blueberry jam and a dollop of cream (because what doesn't come with cream in Scandinavia? ;DD). On NSB, these came flat and unadorned on a paper plate with a side of prepacked, commercial blueberry jam. No cream, obviously. But of the food there, these were one of the few that actually looked fresh and came warm. Reminiscent of a slightly thicker crepe, but you really do get what you expect. Pretty tasty, notwithstanding.Rating: **1/2
