The aforementioned "Norwegian toffee cheese" has nothing to do with cheddar. Or toffee, for that matter. It's a kind of goat cheese. Except some types haven't got goat's milk anymore... We usually call it "brown cheese", very inventive! No, I think - if you really want an explanation, go to THIS place. And I'll just mention briefly, in passing, that on average, every Norwegian eats 2 kilos (4 lbs) of this cheese every year. We eat 3-4 kilos a month in my family. Hubby rarely eats it, so that leaves about 7 kilos (?) each to the rest of us... Yummy :)If you come over, I'll be serving waffles with brown cheese...
Oh, and the other invention? The paper clip. Really puts Norway on the map, that one ;)

Noe jeg har ment aa spoerre deg om siden du er brunost ekspert! Hvor lenge varer en brunost? Jeg spiser fremdeles paa den jeg handlet inn foer jeg dro, dvs 4 mnd.. Men det er ingen dato paa den!! Jeg har ikke blitt syk enda da :S
Yep...yum is the word. I have actually considered taking a trip to Oslo in order to buy lots of cheese. I'll let you know if I actually do this...I can then take you out for coffee and cheese. :-)
