Pizza Grandiosa is very famous in Norway. The girl in this video says that it's ham on it. It isn't, it's a mix. of cattle-meat, water, soy/gelatine++
Not that many girls eat Pizza Grandiosa in Norway.
Norwegians eat, like the girl says, five of these pizzas, per person, per year.
And these pizzas are also sold in Finland.
But, they have been stopped sold, in Sweden, some years ago.
So I suspect that this could be due to that the Swedish food-autorethies, found something in the pizzas, that made them stop selling them in Sweden.
Whatever this could be due to.
But I've read in Dagbladet, a newspaper, that the binding-agent, have been switched from soy to gelatine, about ten years ago.
And now they use soy again, I read.
This is the binding-agent, that binds the meat from cattle, with the water and the starch.
So that people, like the girl in the video, thinks that the meat is ham, since it looks quite similar to ham.
But you can't really taste that much of the meat, since it has got tomatopuree, paprika (or what it's called in English), and also Jarlsberg-cheese on it.
Jarlsberg-cheese, is not the mild cheese you would guess that Stabburet would use, on this big-seller.
Since Grandiosa has a reputation, to be a mild pizza.
Then one could maybe think that they would use the mild cheese, the Norwegian gouda-cheese from Tine, that's Norvegia-cheese.
But they didn't.
But the meat on this pizza, don't really taste that much, as far as I can remember, from eating a lot of it, in the eighties and nineties.
So I suspect that there could be something wrong with the pizzas produced at the Stabburet Grandiosa-factory, in Stranda, in Norway, since these pizzas aren't being sold in Sweden, even if it's Norways most sold product, I think it must be, with every Norwegian eating five of these pizzas every year.
And Orkla, Stabburets owner-company, has got their frozen pizzas in I think close to 100 percent of the Swedish food-shops.
Still they don't sell Norways biggest food-product there.
Even if it's also selling a lot in Finland.
So this sounds a bit strange to me.
PS.
Here it says what's in the pizza, in Norwegian:
