Norwegian food: Kebab

Yeah, yeah. It's really more of a mediterranean or Middle Eastern food. But I don't think it is possible to drive through a city in Norway - regardless of the size - and not find at least one kebab restaurant. It is like the national fast food of this country.

It is also one of the cheaper restaurant options. It's usually available fairly quickly (prepared to order, but doesn't take long), and typically at a counter service establishment. It isn't the healthiest food, but from time to time I find I must indulge! The meat is typically lamb, but many restaurants offer a chicken option, as well as some beef or blend options.


The lamb is often cooked on a large upright spit. In that case, the meat is shaved from the spit. At other restaurants it is chopped.

Daniel prefers kebab i pita: a warm pita filled with lettuce, meat, and other toppings like onions, corn, tomatoes, cucumber and sauce. We all like kebab tallerken as well. It has all the stuff you would find in a pita, but spread over a bed of French fries.
