Fårikål

Fårikål is a traditional Norwegian dish, considered by many to be the country's national dish. Consisting of pieces of mutton with bone, cabbage, whole black pepper and occasionally a little wheat flour, cooked for several hours in a casserole, traditionally served with potatoes boiled in their skins. The dish is typically prepared in early autumn.

Fårikål Feast Day is celebrated on the last Thursday in September each year. Fårikål is a compounded word that literally means "mutton in cabbage". The name was amended from Danish "gaas i hvidkaal" (goose in white cabbage).
