After becoming a part time employee at Museene i Akershus, a different and new part of Oslo opened to us.
FETSUND LENSER
EATING IN GOTHENBURG
Food tradition in Sweden is very much the same to Norwegian one. They both share the love for flatbreads and crunchy breads, simple bread spreads, pickled herring, sweet pickled vegetables and a lot of international foods, like burgers or Asian.
The only difference is an afternoon sweet break that includes a cup of coffee or tea with some kind of freshly baked pastry, called fika.
GOTHENBURG
Sweden and Norway are close neighbors. They have been close for centuries, as they share not just geographical border, but also some political and cultural aspects. Many of Norwegians tend to go shopping on Swedish borders because Sweden being part of the EU has some different products and often more affordable prices, so this was my driving force when D suggested we spend Easter holidays in Gotheburg.
EATING IN MALTA
Same as its colorful historical background, Maltese cuisine a fine blend of Italian, North African and British influences. This is mostly imbodied through pasta meals and exotic spices.
MALTA
A 8 day trip to Malta was my birthday present from Debeli and it was the Most Anprepared Leisure Trip Aver.
SENTRALEN
It’s been a while since I did a food / restaurant review but it’s been a while that we went for a dinner as well. Especially alone 🙂
A BIT OF MADRID
Our last leg of the Italian Spanish trip was an afternoon in Madrid. The transfer options were better to ride the train from Malaga and take Vueling flight from Madrid than a direct Norwegian flight from Malaga. What can I say. The Norwegians are expensive.
EATING IN MALAGA
Malagas cuisine is a delightful combination of fresh Mediterranean flavors including seafood like fried fish, grilled sardine skewers (espetos) and boquerones en vinagre or anchovies marinated in vinegar.
MALAGA
Malaga is not a not just sweet wine and raisins flavored ice cream that I just adore, it’s a second largest city in Spanish province of Andalusia and it was our next to last leg of the Italian – Spanish holidays in 2023.
EATING IN CORDOBA
The gastronomic offer of Cordoba is no different that classical Spanish food offer in other cities that we visited. There is abundance of small tapas bars where lunch or dinner is served and there are quite a number of upscale restaurants offering a different intake on the traditional Southern Spanish ingredients.
We have tasted all!
