Oh Ben! This looks like the most wonderful adventure. I’m so happy you got to do this for yourself.

And, I’d love to see more YouTube videos of your culinary adventures when you have the time.

Ben! Thanks for sharing your trip and lovely prose <3

I might have a tip for the Swedish snack dilemma, there's a Reddit sub called r/snackexchange for international snack enthusiasts that could be an easy and fun solution to get those Norwegian treats to the US. Much love from a Crappens Fan in Berlin, please do another European tour!!

I was hoping you would do a Crappens bonus episode, but this was better. I poured over every word and enjoyed the pictures and links. I also adore chocolate/orange and am thinking of trying that Success Tart! Thanks for sharing your amazing experience! Now I’m off to watch the video.

There are three things I love: traveling; international food; a beautiful writer. I’ve listened to your podcast for years, but I’m now an even bigger fan. So glad you had such a nice trip!

Thanks so much for sharing. Norway hasn’t been on my radar but you’ve definitely sold me

This made me inordinately happy. Not because I'm a foodie, but because the trip clearly delighted you. I'm so glad you got to go--thanks for sharing the highlights with us!

Btw, I'm half Swedish, and the Swedes love them some Donald Duck too. It's a thing.
