It's the episode that transcends language. We've all probably had tacos before, but have you really? Have you eaten...a Norwegian taco? This is the deepest dive you'll ever need (or frankly, want) into the national Friday dish. We go out on fieldwork, name drop academics who will soon be sending cease-and-desists, and put in the work to analyze the importance of a puzzling Norwegian obsession.

How did it develop, do you write beiken or bacon, and what is actually the difference between Bokmål and Nynorsk? Theme music: Fuji Fakes New jingle: Christopher Helberg…

Warnings and tips abound, but first we dive into the history and significance of foraging (New Nordic cuisine anyone?). Theme music: Fuji Fakes News jingle: Christopher Helberg…

We even do a taste test to determine whether or not this easy meal is worth the 55 kroner (the answer may surprise you). And Indigo investigates: how dangerous is it exactly to bake a pizza when drunk? Theme music: Fuji Fakes News jingle: Christopher Helberg…

Did Oslo schoolchildren start intermittent fasting before it was cool? And we're joined by a guest who tells us about growing up with that pålegg life.
