What are the cultural ties between todays Norway and the Brittish isles?
We share a common history in many ways.
Even after the defeat of the vikings in the battle of stamford bridge in 1066 we took up trading again and joint fishing, whaling and trading meant lots of interaction through the last 400 years. What common culture thingys bind us together today? dishes, words, sayings that are still in use today?

One thing i thought that was interesting is that when i visited a friend in liverpool i was treated to a bowl of scouse and it was exactly the same as a common household dish in Norway called "lappskaus". at the time I didn't make the conection other than it was similar but diving into the history i found that it was an imported dish from Norway and very common amongst sailors at that time as it contained both meat and vegetables and was easy to make

Were the white and civilised ones of the west that are setting an example for the barbaric olive skins and slavs. Both nations smart, wealthy and sophisticated, also we arent both keen on being the eu's little bitch and know our own strength.

Id happily fight for the norweigans, cant say the same for europe

Language is one thing that is given. Im after things that are alive today. Is there a type of food that a brit and a norwegian would both claim to be a traditional dish today? Is there a song or a lullaby that we both sing still today? Is there a saying that we both still share? What has survived to this day?

You both come here in droves to go tree planting in summer and they always buy that James ready 5.5. Every goddamn summer it's Norwegians and Brits (a lot of Aussies too) and you offer me a James ready beer and stand around my town on your day off chain smoking by the store.

Norway is seen almost entirely positively here, we're big fans of Norway in the UK. It's viewed as a very 'cool' country.

Viking heritage/ influence, close cooperation in the World Wars, we have the largest oil reserves in Europe, and we maintain close cooperation in terms of fishing and such in the North Sea.
We both have large foreign aid budgets and are monarchies with similar politics. We're currently working together on wind power too.
