Julekake or Julebrød
This year I was on a mission to see the difference between julekake…
…and julebrød.
In past years they seemed to be the same to me but I never had them both at the same time to make a proper claim. So, this year I bought both a julekake and a julebrød together.
And the difference…
- just their shape!
We had so much jule bread and cake that we had french toast for three days.
Yep – they tasted the same too.

I’ve been researching Norwegian food for a culinary guidebook I’m writing. What I found, too, is that Julebrød and Julekake are names for the same thing. Have you ever made it yourself? I assume it would be MUCH better, and the cardamom scent would be lovelier.
Now that you’ve been in Troms county for awhile, what are your favorite dishes of the region?

The difference is… the price!
