The lonely Dane.

hehe... the name actually comes from there being sheep on the islands when the settlers arrived, so Får øar might be more correct

And that covers the entire history of the Faroe Islands in one sentence. The end.

Well, it doesn't include red porridge with cream, so I can see why it would bore the Danes

I'm pretty sure you can get it at every supermarket. It's just boiled down berries in a carton... I think. On the Faroes we use rhubarbs for that, since berries don't grow well there (all of a sudden Faroese history became more interesting for the Danes).

mmm rhubarb and/or berry porridge, with cream - now, that is something i would like to try.

I've had rhubarb and strawberry porridge before... Wonder if that's the "rød grød"? But it was homemade tho

Norwegian grøt is boring

Mdisch, whereabouts in Norway are you from? and seeing as your Norwegian, do you like kompe? (yuck!)

I was not born in Norway(but my sister was) and my entire family lives in Norway The entire family lives in the south, more precisely Oslo and the nearby areas (Østerås osv.) :P
And no.. Kompe is the spawn of satan.. I eat a lot of Norwegian food.. But never, EVER, Kompe.

[Lulie]

Nice, my husband was born in Bærum, so pretty close by.

Yeah, Kompe.. with jam and sugar.. bleh!

[Mdisch]

Extremely close... I guess Bærum kommune actually covers the area where a good deal of my family lives :-)

But it could be worse than Kompe.. If you go far enough north you might just end up ordering a sheep's head and side of horsemeat(Though horsemeat actually tastes quite good)

My contribution to the Danish economy is huge due to the sheer amount of Carlsberg I consume.
