Norway usually has a few varied traditions...

something called "Pinnekjøtt" (translates as "stick meat") is common in some regions for christmas. rather than describe it, 'thul noticed wikipedia had an article on it.

the other main dish used is a form of oven-cooked pork ribs with lots of side dishes (potatoes, vegetables, a few types of sausage, fried apple boats, lingonberry jam, prunes, minced pork meat dumplings (known locally as "medisterkaker") and stuff like that.

oh, and there's an early afternoon meal of a rice-and-cream based porridge with a single almond in the entire pot. The one to find it gets a price.


There are also some that eat fish on christmas eve, but they're not very common. Rumors persist of some also eating a variety of cheap, rather bland pre-made pizza brand on that day, but it is questionable how much truth is in it. Just as it is questionable if it has dough-based bottom. These beings are fairly certain that pizza brand uses at least some cardboard for its bottoms. It certainly tastes that way.
