Personal Notes:
Early in the seventie the Lamb Stew was elected as the Norwegian national dish by one of the Norwegian radio channels (elected by the listeners). The lamb stew is something between a home fare and banquette meal, very often served as Sunday dinner during the fall. Cissel (Jennie's cousin)
(Tidlig pa 70-tallet ble farikal karet til Norges ubestridte nasjonalrett i Nitimen. Farikalen svever mellom husmannskost og festmat. En rykende varm gryte midt pa bordet er uansett verdens beste grunn til a samle familie og venner.) (Cissel and Bente are twin sisters.)
