Served warm, with a slather of butter, too, of course.

In old Norway, before the mumerous imports of food now available, this and other grains and flatbreads would keep through the winter.

A very nostalgic item for me - My Dad and I would drive all night, almost 500 miles on treacherous winter roads to visit Grandma and Grandpa and cousins,aunts and uncles for Christmas holidays.

When I was too little to watch while we drove, we'd take the train, riding in sleeper cars, sometimes eating in the dining car.

A throw back to post war America when passenger trains were abundant.

This and your earlier one with the shoes--both terrific. The shoes are intriging. They don't match.
