Oslo - Food
With the increasing international influence on Norwegian food and culture, the traditional Norwegian food is changing. People eat out more, and warm lunches are more common. Chinese, Japanese, European (especially Italian, French and Spanish) and Indian cuisine are mixed in with traditional food, and people like to experiment. International and ethnic food can be found in many of the small food shops and markets in the downtown and eastern parts of Oslo, for instance Grønland and Gamlebyen (the old town), where a lot of immigrants now live. This part of Oslo is worth visiting if you want to find special ingredients (especially Asian and African food) for more reasonable prices than in a big supermarket.
