Norwegian term

juletallerken

Norwegian to English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Does this have a standard name in English? And am I right in understanding it more as nibbles than a meal?

It's a full dinner Q: And am I right in understanding it more as nibbles than a meal?
A: No, it's a full dinner.

Juletallerken og juleplatter Juletallerken er et måltid, servert på en stor tallerken.
Juleplatter er en tom tallerken med julemotiv, så ordet juleplatter ville være det beste ordet å bruke på Glasmagasinet.
Per Bergvall Nov 5, 2010:
Feel free to disagree all you like - But when I order juletallerken at my favourite diner, I expect a plate with a little ribbe, some medisterkaker, maybe pinnekjøtt, along with some rødkål or kålrabistappe. When I look for juletallerken at Glasmagasinet, I expect to find some hideously decorated plates. When I invite people to Chrristmas dinner, the term I use is julemiddag. I can't recall a single misunderstanding over the last 50 years.

Christmas platter

THis would normally be a selection of various christmas dishes - pork meatballs, salted/dried lamb rib, pork side, veggies to suit. Christmas dinner is something else - a full meal of one of these things.

It might be noted that while it is probably not the case her, juletallerken could also be a term for the (empty) porcelain plate itself, with seasonal decor (mistletoe, reindeer et al).

agree lingo_montreal : Ja, Per -- especially considering the price you have to shell out, I'd consider it a platter.

Thank you :)
disagree Charles Ek : As Per notes, Christmas dinner is the full meal. A "juletallerken" is an array on a platter. See http://www.stortorvets-gjestgiveri.no/ for an example of listing this as a menu item. EDIT: Sorry, you'll need to browse "Menyer>Julebord" at the link.

Christmas platter

The plate can be filled with cold, warm, h'orderves, the main dish, cakes etc.
I think though that it usually refers to a platter full of warm meats?

agree Charles Ek : Looks like you drank too much punch before hitting the keyboard. :-)

Would that make me punchdrunk? Sorry, I don't want to patter too much here (platter?).
agree Per Bergvall : Charlie is probably referring to the h'orderves...

Plate OR platter

...though I also like Per's explanation. In Canada or the U.S., go into an ethnic (or other) restaurant, and they'll often offer the souvlaki platter, smoked meat platter, chicken platter, etc.. "Platter" around here indicates a larger offering than one simple dish: you get, e.g., the potatoes and salad with it, either on the same plate (= platter), or accompanying it, but included in the price. Dawn: a platter can be BOTH the china (dish) for serving a larger selection (a bit larger than a regular plate) AND the food combo.
