SMORBROD New Year's Eve

SMOR:  butter
SMORRE:  spread

Use a knife and fork, do not eat with your hands!
Always toast when taking a drink - look at friends and say "skol!"
We skipped pickled herring and lutefisk

The lefse and lingonberries ordered from Minnesota will arrive in the coming days, sadly.
Hot spicy reindeer and wild boar sausage, smoked duck breast, salmon, olives, egg salad, cornichons and gherkins, "coarse" rye and pumpernickel bread, Gjetost, Ewephoria and Jarlsberg cheese, sweet beet and horseradish mustard, pickled beets, arugula, radish... eaten with plenty of sparkling wine.
Susan, Joan, Dan and Pat.  Dan made cheesecake ice cream and cookies and Leslie made her tarts
