As my grandmother was Norwegian, I've always celebrated Xmas on the 24th with my family back home.
Wanting to have some smorbrot (sic) years ago, I heard of the Admiral's Pub/restaurant which is just down the road from the Post Office, on the same side. I think they're Danish owned.
They were excellent. Rollmop herrings, meatballs, fish fillets, beef, chicken, lots of different salad things and sauces etc etc. Brie and grapes to finish. Plenty of white and black bread.
That was just from the set menu for two. A la carte is more extensive. I always order them on the 22nd and pick them up on the 24th about 6.30pm. I've had them every year since I came over 12 Xmases ago.
If that's your fancy, then I can recommend them. Don't leave it until the 24th to order for take away or sit down. They'll be too busy and you won't be able to get service.
Thanks for answer, but sorry to say that none of the food you mentions has anything to do with Norwegian Christmas Food.
Some Norwegian Christmas Food is:
Pinnekjøtt
Svine Ribbe
Surkål
Rødkål
Riskrem
and many many more dishes
Have a nice X-Mas
