Organic Prayer Breakfast
Yesterday me and Karl Anders went shopping at "Smart Club" in Oslo, a gigantic store that sells groceries and cars, and a lot of other stuff too. We went there on a hunt for organic food. Being a "Rema 1000" shopper I have hardly seen organic food, besides organic milk. They had an own section in the store, with hundreds of different organic products.
Well home I found that organic oranges are better than any other orange I've tasted. The same went for the apple.... And the banana (was fairtrade too). A little more expensive, but worth a lot more.
This morning me and Karl Anders had an organic prayer breakfast, proud of our new tasty groceries. Karl Anders had also bought an organic bread called "Profeten Esekiel Brød" (English: "Prophet Ezekiel Bread"). It's a bread made by a recipy God gave to a prophet named Ezekiel in the Bible. He was supposed to live quite long only on that kind of bread, so it's supposed to contain most of what the body needs. But the real surprise was the taste - I didn't know bread could taste that good. If that kind of bread is available to you: RUN AND BUY IT!!! (It's available at "Smart Club" in Oslo).

Hi Jan,
this type of food is quite popular here in Australia. 'Organic food' as it's called in English (But I'm gonna start calling it Ecologic food now, just to baffle everyone!) has taken off in popularity in the last few years, and while it doesn't always taste better than normal, it is probably healthier. Just a pity it has to be more expensive, you'd think it would be less expensive if we dont have to subsidise the pesticides!
Thanks for the tip, Roger. You start calling it ecologic food, and I have changed "ecologic" to "organic" all through this post.
This pretty much explains why I many times mistakenly have said "organisk" instead of "økologisk" while referring to this kind of food in Norwegian.
Searching on google, I discovered that it's not uncommon that some people in Norway say "organisk" instead of "økologisk", meaning the same thing. However the last one is much more common ("organisk mat" gave 375 hits, "økologisk mat" gave 147 000 hits, searching only on pages in Norway).
