You´ve heard of the phrase short-travelled food, I am sure. The idea is to eat food which is grown near where you live, and save the environment from pollution from extensive travels the food takes. A pretty good idea! Well, as it so happens, I just bought my Christmas dinner from my neighbor! I walked 500 meters, visiting my neighbor, and bought some “pinnekjøtt” from him. Pinnekjøtt is dried sheep-ribs. You soak them in water for a full day (or two), and steam them for 3-4 hours. It might seem like an odd thing to eat for dinner, but it is seriously my favorite food! And now, that I can eat the sheep, I can actually see gracing o the fields from my window, it feels double as good. Born, raised, lived, slaughtered, prepared, and eaten all within less than a square mile. How cool! I have to start eating honey as well, so I can get that from him too. Yum!
