Actually, he is quite good. I like his fire. What is that little stuffed animal next to it?
 
It looks like a red owl to me.
A slightly more orthodox version of Bach's masterpiece can be found here:

That's what I thought, but then it could have been some strange chipmunk. Probably after it had been drinking Aquavit and eating lutefisk, that'll happen, you know.
 
Possibly. But it could also have feasted on gulls' eggs, something Northern Norwegians like to do.

Poor gulls. :frown:

I've got to go look up "foods that Norwegians will consume".

McDonald's is very popular in Norway, unfortunately.

Apparently "frozen pizza" is one the the top food items consumed in Norway. Uhm, I hate to tell you this, but you're supposed to cook pizza, not eat it frozen. :rolleyes:

I'm derailing your thread. Want me to move these posts to the food thread?

Not really.
It wasn't meant as a many-replies-thread in the first place.
