"You Know You are in Norway If..." Part One

You know you are in Norway if you have a berry-cleaning attachment for your vacuum. John Arne and his dad went picking lingonberries the other day. Everyone in Norway picks wild berries and mushrooms, and everyone knows when they are in season along with where to find them. Some people even have top secret locations. (John Arne's friend Nina told us the other day that her mother Eli recently entrusted her with her holy chanterelle site. Nina shared this over a dinner she had made that came completely from the forest: moose burgers with chanterelles. Only in Norway.)

John Arne and Carl Peter were gone for a couple of hours and came back with their weight in red berries. Buckets and buckets. Then they got out this contraption, which apparently cleans off the twigs and leaves. Somebody call Ron Popeil.
