What else is there to do on those cold Norwegian nights that last for six months?

Certainly not DURING the giant orgies, though, so who invited the kids?

Its Europe. Say no more.

It is meant to portray the struggle of life in how we tear and trample and make love to each other.

Hi

I see that you guys have posted pictures of Smalehove. These pictures were actually taken by me...and I ate the head :biggrin: this is actually quite a popular dish especially around Christmas time and in the west of the country. And believe it or not...it is quite tasty (well, if you leave the eye out of this). So if you come to Norway in the wintertime be sure to try it...eating local food is an important part of the culture. That is why I tried cuy in Peru...fried guinea pig :-)

Although those Peruvian Guinea Pigs seem awfully large!

Wiki said:
Peruvians consume an estimated 65 million guinea pigs each year, and the animal is so entrenched in the culture that one famous painting of the Last Supper in the main cathedral in Cusco shows Christ and the twelve disciples dining on guinea pig.
