Nordic Delicacies

One of the few places in Bay Ridge — formerly home to a sizable Scandanavian community — where you can still find lingonberries, lutefisk, and several varieties of the soft-bodied, sweet, caramelized cheese product called gjetost (Yet-oast). From Norway, the Ski Queen brand (250 g.; $4.99) quickly became tiring, even when sliced thin and paired with the traditional ryecrisp. It needs a saltier soulmate, but I haven't found the right one gjet.

One of the best things they sell at Nordic D. is the tubes of Hamcheese. it's cheese, in a tube, with the consistency of say, laughing cow, dotted with chunkules of ham.
GENIUS!!
oh, and their chicken pot pies are to. die. for. good as well!
