        In Norway, taco is consumed every single Friday by pretty much everyone. We’re crazy about it. I eat it all the time.

        It’s almost impossible to find good Mexican food though. Rumour has it a good shop has popped up in Oslo recently.

        Our “taco” is a bastardization of tex-mex, which arrived in Norway in the 1980s and has lived a life of its own since. It is delicious, but calling it Mexican would be more than generous.

          oh i know about the scandinavification of texmex.
          my fave is my partner’s “tacopaj”. Absurd and absurdly delicious.

            Holy shit - it seems like the Swedes are getting the upper hand! I have never heard of this monstrosity before. I am in awe.

        As an American, I like White People Tacos, and I’m not ashamed of it. I’ve had proper tacos, too, and they are amazing, but it’s a lot easier to do White People Taco Night.

        I’m going to say that’s not true for Germany, at least not in the north.
