Wafflecations in Norway
Norwegians love waffles so much, we make them in the shape of hearts! ❤️
And yes, we eat them anywhere, and even with toppings you might never have tasted before.
Try them all on a Norwegian wafflecation!
Vaffelkos🫶
Norwegian waffles are the king of kos. Kos is Norwegian for having a lovely and cosy time. And waffles always = cosyness!
Waffles are available in cafés, kiosks and restaurants, not to mention on trains and at sports events. They are also staple in homes all over the country.
Turvaffel🥾
A turvaffel, or 'hiking waffle', is a must in Norway.
It's a classic sweet waffle, usually served with sour cream and jam as a topping – the perfect snack before or after a hike. Enjoy with a view!
Fjellvaffel⛰️
Speaking of hiking waffles, have you ever heard of the fjellvaffel, 'mountain waffle'?
Visit a Norwegian fjellstue, mountain lodge, or seter, summer mountain farm – they often serve freshly made waffles.
Brunostvaffel🐐
A brown cheese waffle, brunostvaffel, is a must-try for anyone visiting.
Brunost is a sweet brown cheese made of whey, milk and cream. Many say the flavour reminds them of dulce de leche – a perfect topping for a waffle.
Dugnadsvaffel🙋♀️
Dugnad is a Norwegian term for volunteering with others. This commonly includes everything from outdoor spring cleaning and school maintenance to sports competitions for kids.
Free waffles, dugnadsvaffler, at the end are a social reward for a job well done.
Pølse i vaffel🌭
Sausages in waffles, YES!
This sweet and savoury combination is common in Moss in Eastern Norway. It's said that the tradition began in the 1960s, when a kiosk in Moss sold out of hotdog buns and decided to improvise.
It remains a speciality to this day and is an essential part of seeing a football match at Melløs Stadium in Moss.
Tjukkmjølkvaffel🥛
In Røros in Trøndelag you can find a special kind of waffle made out of tjukkmjølk, thick, fermented milk. It's not as scary as it sounds. We promise!
The tjukkmjølk from the Røros Dairy Company has received PGI status, meaning it has a geographically protected designation.
Savoury waffles🐟
Who says waffles needs to have a sweet topping?
You will find many places where they experiment with savoury toppings, like chef Stian Haugnes does at Thon Hotels in Svolvær in Lofoten.
His salty potato-based waffles pair perfectly with the soft texture and mild flavour of Norwegian salmon.
Matpakkevaffel🥪
Waffles naturally also have a spot in your matpakke, the Norwegian packed lunch.
It can be a sweet version, but a version made of whole wheat and oatmeal is a popular choice as it makes you feel full longer. Pair with whatever topping you like!
