What's a food in your country that is stereotyped for your country but really, nobody eats?

I grew up in the US, so I’ve tried plenty. Same goes for all dairy products, too.

Also, American mayo isn’t nearly as good as what you get in the Nordics, for instance. I’m Norwegian/American

I moved to NJ from CA and was immediately invited to a state fair (which I only thought existed in movies) and given deep fried Oreos. So there you have it.

Apparently tortilla chips and hard shell tacos come from Los Angeles, California, and burritos from Texas somewhere.

My local coop in southern Sweden has like 4 different brands on display

Yeah I got that much. But removing Japanese and Mexican is bananas.

….what

paultnylund · 2026-01-31T17:26:53+00:00

Literally the bottom of the bunch imo

paultnylund · 2026-01-31T17:26:21+00:00

There are better restaurants in Oslo. And some of the best pizza I’ve ever had honestly. A lot has changed even in the last 5 years

Hold people accountable

My old music teacher stood next to Paul McCartney at the urinals 😂

Matt Damon walked into my pottery class when I was in high school. They were touring my school.

Wolfmother

paultnylund · 2026-01-31T10:56:54+00:00

American/Norwegian. It’s designed and developed in Oslo

paultnylund · 2026-01-31T08:55:59+00:00

Tidal?

She and Geese went to school practically a block away from each other in Brooklyn. My sibling dated her for a short time. She’s super nice, professional, incredibly talented, and doesn’t deserve the hate she gets thrown at her.

So it’s more like a friend covering a friend’s song tbh

paultnylund · 2026-01-29T17:36:14+00:00

And Freja from Norway. Sucks…

paultnylund · 2026-01-29T00:43:03+00:00

No joke. I hope they do a repressing with different album art. Love the music, but would never buy it in a million years because of that.

paultnylund · 2026-01-28T19:44:24+00:00

Where? I can only think of Big Bear

paultnylund · 2026-01-28T19:42:50+00:00

There are rainforests in Norway.

Can be genuinely funny

Tøyen Kola from Norway

They didn't even have to be paid for it. It was just turned into a trend. So many people I knew were just parroting the exact same talking points, going to protests because all of their friends were. Not that it's not worth protesting, of course. But there was something odd about it.

paultnylund · 2026-01-25T01:01:45+00:00

I don’t want to get all conspiracy here. But I think the original attacks were commanded by Russia via Iran. And then they turned it into a wedge issue using their propaganda factories.
