📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Norwegian waffles are thin and soft, shaped like five joined hearts, unlike crisp Belgian waffles. The batter includes sour cream and is scented with cardamom, and they're eaten topped with brunost, a brown cheese with a caramel-like sweetness, or with jam and sour cream. They're a staple at mountain huts and ferry kiosks.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At the kiosk on a ferry crossing a fjord, someone gets a heart-shaped waffle topped with brown cheese and eats it on deck admiring the view.
