Fårikål

Encyclopedia : F : FR : FRI : Fårikål

Fårikål is a traditional Norwegian dish, consisting of lamb's meat and cabbage, black pepper and a little wheat flour, cooked for several hours in a casserole. Served with potatoes boiled in their jackets. The dish is typically prepared in early autumn, after the slaughtering of the year's young lambs. Some people prefer mutton for this dish. Fårikål is originally a dish from the Western part of Norway, but is now enjoyed in all parts of the country.

Name

Fårikål means "sheep in cabbage". "Får" is however not the usual Norwegian word for lamb or sheep, but the Danish word for sheep. The Norwegian word for the animal is "sau".
