Last weekend I was invited to the Raptus festival in Norway and every night they served traditional Norwegian food for us.

The first and third night I was so excited about the food. It all tasted great and I was having a blast. The cured meat was a dream, the potatoes were unusually delicious, the fish was like nothing else and they had the best butter I've ever tasted.

But on the second night they served us raspeballer and I was so confused and upset. The potato balls tasted like soggy cardboard and the meat was so salty it hurt my gums, and I usually eat food so spicy Indians tell me to take it down a notch. And I wasn't alone. The other guests had to excuse themselves too, except the one American who loved it.

So sorry Norway, I like your food overall but I'll never be a fan of raspeballer.

I wish I could draw stuff like this lol, just sharing one of my favourite under apprciated web comics. Im sure the creators of it would have zero issue with you adding a link given they encourage fan art of it.

Ah, thanks for replying! Even if you're just a fan and link sharer like myself, hehe.

We don't have a Norwegian / Nordic webcomic on the list yet, other than Sweden's Poorly Drawn Dinosaurs so I'm excited to add this one. I'll try to round up some of the best of these and make an introductory post over at EGN.

It's from the "Scandinavia and the World" comic, drawn and written by Humon, a Danish artist.

Amazing comic, I've been following it for years. The creator is responsible for some other high quality work, too.
