Oslo Food Festival

This Saturday I had the privilege of attending the Oslo Food Festival called MATSTREIF. My husband watched our son for the afternoon and I took off on my own to explore all that is food. I had to go through the market a couple of times before I was brave enough to shove my way through to snap some pictures. It was unbelievably crowded and I am a little shy. :) They had different programs running throughout the day which I am hoping to be able to take in next year, once I know Norwegian a little better. They also had tons of stuff for kids to do and take part in. It was a ton of fun and I am already excited for next year. Here are some pics from the day.

Karl Johans Gate where it was held. That is the palace of King Harald V at the end.

I never knew there were so many varieties

Fresh Bread

Lot”s of vegetables for sale

Lot”s of taste-testing too

Milling flour

Looks like these were selling well

Aren”t these preserves just breathtaking?

This jam was delicious. I tried the plum.

Making fish cakes

Grilled corn. Mmmm…

Flavoured Olive Oil and Jellies

Norwegian Pancakes. Very much like crepes just different. :)

It wouldn”t be fall without baskets of apples

Orange Salad Dressing

Beautiful Pumpkins

Hamburgers for the masses

This is where all the events were held

They also had a petting zoo for the kidlets

I”m pretty sure these horses were stuffed by the end of the day

And, that it! Till next year. :)
