I just tried a “Kebab rulle med ost” for the first time and it’s amazing, is this an old thing I’ve been missing?

  1. Haven’t tried something like that, looks delicious, kebabs kind of came with immigration from the middle-east

  2. Rulle med kebab kjøtt, pommes frites, ost og dressing. Ikke grønsak å se milevis i alle retninger. Sånt like jeg min kebabrull.

  3. Some of the kebab places in my area have the option to put cheese in it, and fries too pretty good when drunk at least.

  4. Eunno about that but I know a fellow American that flipped out when I described him Kebab Pizza. Especially when I tols him the cheese is at the bottom. Shoutout to my homie Mike.

  5. The Norwegian Kebab seems to take its name from the middle eastern kebab (horizontally or vertically grilled meat on a flat bread), but seems to resemble more closely the mexican inspired burrito. It’s popularity perhaps being related to the popularity of Taco in Norway also. However like most foods adopted outside their country of origin the flavors are adapted to the local population and the Norwegian kebab (and Taco for that matter) contents are nothing like traditional cuisine from the countries they were adopted from.

    One observation from someone that is well travelled and familiar with world cuisine is that Norway has quite a language deficit when it comes to food. Often adopting the incorrect names for otherwise well know foods, and from my own research this seems to be due to foods being introduced by Norwegian travellers to other countries that have adopted foods from elsewhere, thus the Norwegian versions are 3rd or more adaptations of cuisine rather than adopting it from its country of origin.

    In fact when speaking to my Norwegian friends about food I have to make the point of specifying “Norwegian Kebab”, or “Norwegian Taco” etc as they are wildly different to their foreign similarly named counterparts.
