Americans, did you know that Norway’s most popular dish is Texmex tacos? What do you think of that?

1. No fucking way, I thought you liked like some kumla or something

3. Im slightly frightened to ask but what exactly do they put on these tacos…

4. These heathens don’t even deserve the birria

5. Taco Friday is really big over there. I read a Norwegian give his recipe once. Basically all the veggies he could find on his fridge, norge cheese, taco seasoning, tortilla chips, ground beef, cucumbers, etc. And if it didn’t fit just eat it like a salad.

6. [Norwegian tacos example ](https://i.imgur.com/o1ZvZJ1.jpg)

   Basically a salad with hard shelled tortillas or wraps.

   They wanted to make it their national dish too

7. I would love to hear what Norwegians consider Tex-mex tacos. I have a feeling it is neither Tex nor Mex. 😂

8. sounds like tacos at any white midwest person’s house, except maybe more veggies? glad they like tacos, but i wouldn’t claim any improvement lol

9. What in the goddamn….

10. Yup, I knew about it. Interesting that tacos are popular all the way over there, even if they’re not authentic.

    I used to really care about “food purity” or whatever and made a big deal about how they’re not real tacos and whatnot when I was younger, but now my opinion is if they’re happy then I’m happy.

    Edit: Part of the reason why I’m not so upset about it not being authentic is because of the [shit we do here.](https://www.reddit.com/gallery/u79l3t)

11. Sorry Norway, but do not trust you with this for one minute, and don’t wanna think of what sort of abomination you’re calling “TexMex tacos”

12. I highly doubt they’re eating tacos

13. 1. Didn’t know
    2. Good for them

    To paraphrase Dani Rojas “tacos are life”

14. I don’t think they actually like tex mex tacos.

15. This is almost a hate crime!

    But I’m not surprised, seems bad Mexican food is still better than Norwegian food.

16. Good for them, I guess. When I think Norway I think of Norwegian black metal, so now I’m picturing a group of metalheads in corpse paint, leather, and spikes sitting around a table sharing tacos, and it’s kinda wholesome.

17. They’re delicious, we should all have some.

18. Anything is an improvement over smelly herring. But call that Texmex to an American and they’ll roll their eyes at you because you clearly don’t know the first thing about Texmex.

19. TIL Norwegians make Mexican food the same way as unseasoned white Midwesterners

20. One of my favorite business trip events was a trip to Switzerland where one night we went to a western themed bar and bowling alley. Lovingly doled out like it was the finest caviar was what could have only been Pace salsa with low cost corn chips.

21. As long as they’re better than the shit I get in Munich.

22. Gross

23. I was in Norway this summer and learned this when seeing every grocery store had a full taco aisle

    They are just one step further bastardized than the midwest tacos I grew up with lol

24. I’ve had them.

    They are, quite literally, awful. If you have had real TexMex, you will be scarred for life.

    The use tomato purée and what I guess is paprika instead of chiles. The meat is bland. No likes. They use Northern European cheese. No cotija. None of the spice, heat or layered textures.

    They look like tacos, but they are about as authentic as school lunch pizza is to true Italian pizza.

    Strike that, school lunch pizza was at least tasty.

25. I love how everyone in this thread is shouting CAP from the rooftops 😂
