The diet of the old forest workers consisted of a lot of sugar and fat. When the food was described as good, it was not because it tasted good, but because it gave a long-lasting feeling of satiety.
If you want to make yourself a real forest worker's meal, you can get some ingredients and names of dishes here. Don't eat this every day if you sit quietly in your home office.
Monk
Make a batter consisting of lard, flour and water, possibly milk. Feel free to add surprim (kind of soft brown cheese) as well, and a little baking soda. Stir together and fry in the pan like pancakes. Remember plenty of sugar on top. A classic in the forest!
Mulger
Cut the pork into small cubes and brown it in the pan. Add sliced sour cream butter, sugar and water. Cook together until well mixed. Add pieces from flatbread or bread crusts at the end. This dish was popular in Rendalen.
Naked Boys
Melklubb (flour balls) cooked in a soup of water, sour cream and sugar. Melklubb cooked in this soup felt smooth in the mouth due to the sugar syrup, which is probably the origin of the name of the dish.
Slurring
Thin out lard with water. Stir in flour so that this becomes a porridge. Sprinkle a LOT of sugar on top.
Raw jock
Raw oatmeal with a little water and a lot of sugar on top. Feel free to use a little surprim as well.
