    There’s simply no way Norway has the US beat for total taco consumption; even per capita consumption would be impressive.

      Seriously. Southern CA alone is 4-5x the population of all of Norway, and that region often has 3-4 taco shops per block when it’s allowed by zoning.

      Edit: the USA has 75,000 Mexican restaurants. That means that there are only 73 people in Norway for every Mexican restaurant in the United States.

      The average restaurant in the USA serves 100 people per day. That means that, on average, US Mexican restaurants serve more people daily than the entire population of Norway.

        Taco trucks just park wherever they want and deliver delicious tacos to the world. Zoning laws be damned

      Taco related products have their own aisle in almost every Nordic supermarket no matter how small and is often eaten once a week in every family. Not surprising considering any flatbread based food will inevitably be a hit in the Nordics.

      The way we eat tacos would seem foreign in the U.S or Mexico. Way more fresh vegetables for example.
