Hairy Bikers in Norway BBC2

[Ann]

Anyone just watched the Hairy Bikers in Norway on BBC2? Part of the HB Bakeation series. WOW - What a great programme, and what scenery - didn't realise Norway was so so beautiful, would love to go! Well worth watching the programme on catch up if you missed it......

[Ann]

Forgot to say - good music too - Peer Gynt ......

Norway is fabulous, and every norweign I ever met was completely mad and a lovely person. Expensive there though:(

[bellazella]

Yep, looked fabulous, but as said very expensive

[Ann]

Absolutely gorgeous scenery, but looked very rainy, is it always wet?

I do love the Norwegian landscape, the people, and I'm interested in food but I can't bear all the matey schtick of the Hairy Bikers. I don't like that tweeness that some programmes feel they have to attach to a subject e.g. food that can get along quite well without being overseen by a light-hearted double act. So even though I was loving the misty scenery I switched off.

Norway is lovely .I lived there for a year or so .The programme brought back happy memories for me .Not always wet .Bergen gets a lot of rainfall though Gets quite hot in the south in the summer .
The only problem is it never gets really dark in the summer and never really gets light most of the day in the winter especially the further north you go ..

[Ann]

Gosh I would hate the Winter then Shaney - but would love the light nights in Summer :) its now my dream to go there one day ..........

[shaneystar2]

Brilliant scenery.I liked all the different ways the Norwegians made bread. Next week it's the Netherlands,Belgium and Luxemburg.

The expressions on their faces when they did the bobsleigh ride was priceless!

i just watched it, i have lived in norway and yes it is a beautiful country, the food is amazing and the people are lovely, it is expensive but worth it, the winters are long and cold but the open fire is comforting, in the summer nearly 23 hours of daylight make up for it, you feel so energised when really you should be sleeping. i have had many wonderful times there and cant wait to return, watching the program made me miss it so much. check on Ryan air they do cheep flights over there 13 quid each way from manchester to oslo!!! bargin. it is some where you have to visit at least once in your life!!! Enjoy!

Norway, Norway so good they named it twice Splodge? LOL

[marval]

Thank you Ann, i must watch it.

Are the bread recipes available?

I only saw part of the programme and there was a bread with a very simple recipe which they said was the best bread they had ever tasted.

Any idea?

Brilliant programme. Norway looked beautiful. It's a place I have never thought about visiting, but I am having a re-think now! lol x

[Ann]

I see that bread they said was the easiest to make and best tasting, isn't on the recipe website I put above - bet that is so you buy their book on the series! Crafty and annoying!

[Mattk]

Yeh I checked the Beeb website before posting and it only seems to be their recipes rather than the norwegians' featured.

Yes,Norway is sooo beautiful.went on a 12 night cruise some years ago,got some fantastic photos...went right up into the Arctic Circle,was still daylight at 2 in the morning.
I had always wanted to there ,ever since I was at school...many ,many moons ago...it was worth the wait...stunning country!!!!
