In this episode, we have looked at some traditional Norwegian
desserts. The first one is called “Tilslørte bondepiker” which
translates to “veiled peasant girls”. It is usually served in a
glass and consists of mashed apples mixed with sugar. A layer of
crumbs and sugar is put on this. To top the dessert, you add some
whipped cream. The legend has it that it was Ivar Aasen who
discovered the dessert. Ivar Aasen is the founder of Nynorsk, the
written standard, and he lived during the 19thcentury. According
to the legend, he was in love with a peasant girl who made this
dessert. He tried several times to propose to her, but she
declined all his approaches. Finally one day, she offered him to
taste her sweets. Aasen being an eager man thought she was
offering herself to him. Unfortunately for Aasen, she was talking
about the dessert she was making. Immensely disappointed, Aasen
called the dessert “tilslørte bondepiker” or “veiled peasant
girls”. The story is almost certainly only a legend and has
probably never happened.

The next dessert we shall examine is gomme. This is a Norwegian
dessert made with casein separated from milk. It exists in
several versions with geographical variations. It used to be
eaten during Christmas in Norway, but this is less common today.
However, gomme is still eaten all around the country, especially
in certain parts of northern Norway, Trøndelag, and in the south
and western parts of the country.
