Constitution Day Foodways

17. mai

Festival

17 May: the children’s parade, the bunad, and a food day with a very clear shape — a big breakfast with scrambled egg, cured salmon and champagne or juice; then HOT DOGS and ICE CREAM in quantity, consumed by children at a rate that is itself a national joke; cream cakes, bløtkake with strawberries and the flag; and coffee. ⚠ MODERN, NOT ANCIENT: the dish list is 20th-century and is recorded as such.
