Norwegian can 1995

Post by housil » Sat Apr 16, 2016 5:14 am

As introduced here, here is now the review about that 21 years old can.

The opened can. So it´s a pate like thing with lard

This kind of "pate" is not unknown to us (Germans). We call it a "chunky pate" as it still contains chunks of meet.

As it had no unusual smell nor color, a gave it a try in a common German way of dinner what we call "Abendbrot".
Slice it, have it on a crisp roll with pickles

Guten Appetit :D

So how was it?
It was as I had expect it a taste of a chunky pate with a little liver flavor like you may know it from a liver pate (grobe Leberwurst).



PS: 15 hrs later, I´m still doing fine :mrgreen:

Good review Housil! It looks good. I've never tried with pickles before, but I want to try it now! :D

That pate could buy itself a beer in the US (minimum drinking age by law is 21) :mrgreen:

If you have a beer with your "Abendbrot", you`ll need have pickles with too Image

Good review and nice pictures. It looks similar to Russian 'Forcemeat' or mincemeat. Canned meal from 1995 holding up that well is very impressive. The Norwegians must have good preservation and canning methods. I like your idea of spreading that on thick bread and pickles for a lunch. It looks like that would make a good breakfast if combined with eggs.

Actually this is what a "continental breakfast" really is. A crisp roll like I used, now give a pate or sausage or any sweet (butter + jam, honey etc) on it.
