We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

In Alsace they had their version of a pizza, a tarte flambée or flammekueche. Basically a pizza with onions and cheese.

Akvavit and pizza

Can attest. Just visited Norway and although I wanted to eat authentic Norwegian cuisine, pizza was everywhere. Easier to find than seafood and I was staying in a port city.

When I was in Iceland food was so expensive that I was happy to eat at a KFC because it was my first affordable meal.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Can you call it pizza, though? If it has kebab, and shrimp, and banana, and peanuts, and mayonnaise is it actually a pizza, or is it simply a scattering of food on a plate that happens to be made of bread?

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah but they put like mayonnaise on their pizza and fish

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.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The country where nobody can cook and have no choice but to order pizza every day!

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 46 minutes ago

Like NYC. Every fridge has nothing but a couple of beers, a bottle of ketchup and some Chinese takeaway containers.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -3 points 1 hour ago

It is easy to get most per capita if you are a small country

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Is it just a vehicle for eating fish with your hands though?

[–] SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

As is a fish taco.

I worked a Fish Farm for a few months. There were two things wrong with your sentence. ;-)

So they don't drive pizzas?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 hours ago

who would have known that Italians prefer to eat some weird bologna thing instead

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.

#2 is my house

[–] troglodyte_mignon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] pepperprepper@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

This just tells me you don't go to Norway and expect to be outside a lot =D
