Raspeballer (also called komle or klubb depending on the region) have been Norway's Thursday tradition since the 19th century, a Western Norway peasant dish elevated by Oslo's husmannskost rooms. The dumpling is built around grated raw potato bound with cooked mashed potato and barley flour, dense and savoury rather than fluffy. Kaffistova, Asylet and Smalhans run the canonical Oslo Thursday-lunch versions with salt-cured lamb, rendered bacon and rutabaga mash.
