Introduction: A grilled sausage wrapped in a soft potato flatbread, Norway's beloved answer to the hot dog, sold everywhere from street kiosks to petrol stations.
Cultural Background: Pølse med lompe is a defining piece of Norwegian street food culture, the soft potato-based lompe wrap distinguishing it from the standard bread-bun hot dog found elsewhere, and it's an essential food at Norwegian sporting events and celebrations.
Tips: Warming the lompe slightly makes it more pliable for wrapping. Load with toppings generously, as is traditional for this beloved street food.
Variations: Add a little grated cheese for extra richness. Use a spicier sausage for a different flavour profile.
Storage: Best assembled and eaten immediately; not suitable for storing.
