Is that the one with the Norwegian guy who seems to cook everything 
outdoors? It looks like great food, but there's something surreal 
about a guy in a parka (or looking like he should be in a parka, when 
he's not), chiffonading sorrel for the soup he's got going on over a 
portable, tabletop butane burner, while the occasional reindeer comes 
up and investigates...

Not that I'm complaining, mind you ;-)
