I did my Ph.D. in Norway, and jokingly referred to it as "the land that food forgot." But I did see some signs of improvement, at least in Oslo.

- tyfon 11y agoOne of the things I remember best was that the stores were allowed to import butter from Belgia, and it was so much better than the one sold here. When they finally got around to produce enough locally they demanded the shops scrap what they had bought abroad at the shops cost and restock the local brand (Tine). Even to this day Tine whole milk is not whole milk, it only has 3.5% fat compared to 3.8% in natural whole milk (and which their only competitor has). Guess someone figured it was profitable.
