I’m from the UK and my partner is from the States. Every year she has the kids leave milk and cookies out for Santa, which I find odd because we left out sherry and a mince pie in my house. At the same time, we live in Scandinavia and I’m sure the Christmas gnome (julenissen) is unhappy about the lack of porridge.
Nothing like sitting in the stables eating cold porridge and get a suprise visit from the children looking for santa, the aquavit helps.
Oat, rice, or rømme?
Oat/havre is for breakfast, rice/ris is for kids sour cream/rømme is the old ways for the grown ups, preferably with “salt pinn” flat bread and saltet and cured sheep or pig leg.
