First time trying Rømmegrøt — completely converted

I had never tried Rømmegrøt before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The subtly smoky taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. lamb is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a traditional Norwegian home setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. Norwegian coastal geography shaped a cuisine centred on preserved and fresh fish. My server recommended Norwegian lager alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Rømmegrøt. Outstanding first encounter.
