I`m always open to new kinds of food. Today I got to taste something I never have tasted before.
A friend of mine comes from a little valley on the Swedish border, where Norway narrows in and becomes a thin strip of land before it widens out again in the far north. This dish is from that area and it`s what we call husmannskost which means old-fashioned meal usually eaten on the farms in the old days, because you know, not all of us were vikings. :D It`s called skjørost which means fragile or crumbly cheese and is named for the main ingredient - a cheese that very much resembles cottage cheese.
These are the ingredients:
Skjørost or Cottage Cheese
Sour Cream
Buttermilk
Sugar
Make a mixture of buttermilk and sour cream. Pour that on top of the cheese and add sugar. Eat. I am thinking that maybe cinnamon would be good on top too, but I`m not sure as I`ve only tasted it with sugar and because the main ingredient is cheese and not rice - the dish does resemble rice pudding though.
It`s used for dessert and is mostly eaten after a dinner generally known as spekemat which consits of cold, salty meats, flatbread and sour cream or sour cream-porridge.
