What Norway took to USA for World Cup: 400kg fish, 180kg cheese and 3 chefs

Norway's delegation to the World Cup in the United States arrived with a substantial supply of Norwegian food, including 400 kilograms of fish and 180 kilograms of cheese, along with three chefs to prepare meals.

The shipment was intended to ensure that the Norwegian team and staff had access to familiar, high-quality ingredients during the tournament. The chefs were tasked with cooking traditional Norwegian dishes using the imported provisions.

The move reflects the importance of diet and nutrition for athletes competing at the highest level, as well as the desire to maintain a sense of home while abroad.
