Where can I get multer (cloudberry jam) in New England, or by mail?

We found "Cloudberries stirred with sugar" (straight off the label)
in a store in the Burlington Mall called Alpen Pantry. They did
not have a business card, so I don't have a phone number. Please
note, it was $8.50 for a 4-6 oz. jar! My Norwegian boyfriend tried
it and said it was as close as you could get to multer in the USA.
It is imported from Sweden, and not quite as sweet as the Norwegian
version, but delicious none-the-less. He also found fiskeboller,
in case you're interested.

| Hey great! Now I know where to go for some Norwegian food! I noticed
that there is a store (Scandia Down ?) in the Burlington Mall that
also had "Dyner". I miss mine already even though I've only been
here about 2 weeks! :-)

| I'd like to make a correction on my previous note (.4). The cost
of cloudberry jam is $8.50 for 11 oz. Also, last night my boyfriend
made a delicious dessert with it. He merely mixed one part cloudberry
jam to 4 parts whipped cream. Unbelievably good! ;)
For reply .5: My boyfriend and I went into Scandia Down to look.
They are very expensive and he wasn't happy with the quality of
their product. He thinks we'd do better to buy in Norway. (We hope
to be visiting his family before Christmas.)

| RE: .6
I believe they're called Downs in English, I'm not sure. Most (if
not everybody) in Norway uses them instead of a blanket. Cozy and
warm..... :-)

I've always heard 'Comforter' in English, (and Federdecke in german, and
some word pronounced like Deena [Dina?] in danish)

Dyner is the Norwegian for "Down Comforter". In Danish it's Dyne,
pronounced "DUNE-AH". A good Danish comforter is the only truly
civilized way to sleep. They are horrendously expensive compared
to wool or synthetic blankets. They are also more expensive than
electric blankets (which are not common in Denmark due to the high
cost of electricity). Once you use one you'll never want to sleep
with sheets and a blanket again...
Hilsen,
Geoff
P.S. They come in various sizes - all the way up to being able to
adequately cover 2 consenting adults!

I agree!!! :-)
