As you know
by now, I currently live in Norway and learn more about their customs and the
way they live. There are some particular traditions here depending on specific
periods in a year. For example since the new year is coming soon, they started to
sell many kinds of cookies at the market. I learned that it has a reason. In
Norway, in Christmas time seven types of cookies are served in every house and this
tradition is called “sju slag” (“syv sorter” in old Norwegian) which means “seven
sorts”. These cookies vary regionally and each region serves different seven types.
Among those types “ginger bread” (on the picture) is the most common one. However according to
local residents, nowadays this tradition is not as popular as it was in the past years.
