Good title: Norway Eats The Most Pizza
Bad title: You won't believe which country eats the most pizza!
Ragebait title written by and for idiots: This skinny people country eats more than this fatty people country!
Please don't consume shitty media folks. It exists because you consume it.
The country where nobody can cook and have no choice but to order pizza every day!
I visited Norway once as a child and saw the biggest pizza of my life in a restaurant in Oslo. I didn’t get to eat one, though, I was only allowed to order the “small” pizza, which was the size of what I’d call a normal pizza, that is to say, quite big.
I didn’t eat so much pizza in the end, mostly hot dogs, so many hot dogs, like, almost every day? I don’t know if hot dog is that popular in Norway or if all this just happened to me for some mysterious reason.
Pizza and hot dogs is like incredibly common here in Norway.
who would have known that Italians prefer to eat some weird bologna thing instead
Is it just a vehicle for eating fish with your hands though?
I worked a Fish Farm for a few months. There were two things wrong with your sentence. ;-)
So they don't drive pizzas?
#2 is my house
This just tells me you don't go to Norway and expect to be outside a lot =D
Ok WHAT. What do Italians eat then?
They're mostly filter feeders, the constant hand movements are a dead giveaway
Pasta.
Is it because they are rich and dont want to cook?
I don't think Norwegians are rich; just happy. I think they're secure - food security, healthcare security, general safety, no lynching of gay people - in ways that other countries (ohai America and Somalia) may think is the kind of security only afforded to the very rich.
So, in this case, the people of Norway may appear rich to people who don't have their basic needs covered, and it may be an enviable state to be in, just to be free of the daily worry and grind for the most basic of needs, but I'm sure the average Norwegian doesn't identify as rich, and is not in a position to understand how well they have it in comparison to other countries.
Noone identifies as rich, because as you become richer, your social circle also becomes richer. So you never really feel rich, because there are other people who are, significantly, richer than you.
If you dont worry about food, shelter and healthcare then you are rich(or at least "middle class"), ie free to do whatever the fuck you want with no risk or fear. You can have very low personal net worth but if your family(and/or society) has your back, no matter what, then you are not poor.
And since Norway has one of the highest home ownership rates, among non shitty countries, then even from a networth point of view, most norwegians probably have 500k+ € networth. Most countries with high home ownership are poor countries, where houses are cheap and shitty(people are migrating out of the country, so a lot of houses are available). Or countries like China and Singapore, where housing is a major priority for the government.
And in before "communism", Singapore is one of the most capitalistic countries on the planet. But providing housing is a big part of their social contract and how the dictatorship has managed to maintain control over the country for over half a century with minimum opposition. And tbh, the chinese government is similar. Authoritarian but provides economic prosperity/housing in order to keep society stable. Also communist mostly in name but actually capitalistic.
Ironically, the most popular frozen pizza in Norway, Grandiosa, is considered something of a national dish. It's also one of the worst frozen pizzas you'll ever try, and is mainly popular only because of nostalgia.

I knew a guy from Norway on a hostel in Argentina, I asked him what was their national dish and he told me that frozen pizza. I didn't believe him and forced to give me a Real answer and he show me the Wikipedia article of some fish buried on snow for 3 months.
Hah! Lutefisk, yet another dish that exists today purely for nostalgia. It would also probably fail every food safety test in existence today if it wasn't grandfathered in.
For those not in the know, it's fish preserved in lye, which is an extremely toxic substance. Preparing the dish involves cooking it for long enough to fully neutralise the lye, and any failure to fully do so results in poisoning, which can range from mild to extremely serious. I also hate to imagine what byproducts might be left behind as a result of the lye.
Think he refers to rakfisk. Lutefisk is never buried. And rakfisk is fermented like kimshi, and definitely not eaten out of nostalgia. It's videly popular in Norway.
I mean, pretzels are also made with Lye.
I don't know what it says about me and my love for pizza, but your comment makes me want to try it even more.
I've tried many a bad pizza, but I've yet to find one inedible, and that makes me curious.
Mmmm apparently this is a Grandiosa. I’d eat that.
Looks like a Celeste frozen pizza. Ate those when we were poor and broke. I buy Screamin’ Silician nowadays, but the Celeste supreme one is still one of my guilty pleasures lol no joke.
It has the most important aspect of cheap frozen pizza. Which is the cheese having built up on one side because it was shipped that way in the truck.
I bet I eat more than they do.
But are you eating enough to be a country?
I’m trying!
We Italians eat too much pasta to be able to top the pizza rankings!
