This meal has gotten my interest. I think I may have found a local store that carries Pinnekjott. Sounds like a good excuse for a drive.

That sounds amazing. I never would have thought to fry tamales.

We have my mother in law staying with us for a few days this Christmas.
She lives way up north in Norway, so in her honor we are having a traditional dish from around her parts of the country.
It's called Finnebiff or reinskav in Norwegian.
Basically it is small bits of reindeer and wild mushrooms cooked in double cream and sour cream. Some diced onions, Juniper- berries and goat cheese adds a bit of wild flavour
And of course, no dish like this can go without adding a pound of crisped bacon!!

We serve it with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam.

If I'm not around tomorrow, know I died happily from that cardiac arrest

bacon so I guess I'll just have to use brown butter.

WHAT,you have no Bacon Grease? stuff is like gold in my house,we use it for everything.
Get a bacon grease keeper and save that stuff

Well I got some Pinnekjott. Almost didn't. $30 US a pound! I bought 1.3 pounds which should be enough to try. Now I have to get some Rutabaga.

While there I also got some Blood Sausage, Lingonberry jam and smoked Herring.

I hope it tastes better than it looks! It came as 2 racks that the butcher cut up.

With enough bacon grease, you'll love it.

None of the methods I saw had bacon grease. Looks like enough fat on them already! I am planning to steam them. The butcher said to soak them in cold water for a couple of hours before steaming.
