Flatbrød (literally "flat-bread") is a traditional Norwegian unleavened bread which is usually eaten with fish, salted meats and soups.

Originally it was the staple food of Norwegian farmers, shepherds and peasants.

Flat bread is dry and free from water so it is possible to store it for a long period of time.

[1] The basic ingredients are barley flour, salt, and water, though many varieties exist which incorporate other staples.
