See comments ! Explanation: I think the phrase is "Savner du salt savner du alt" ( I have never heard the verb lavner in Norwegian) The translation would be: "Food without salt has little taste" I even found a hit in www.google.com on that "proverb" (in Norwegian)and here they gave that "translation/description" of that phrase http://folk.uio.no/nriedl/tekster/lt991105.htm I wish you good luck ! Best regards from Tone Norwegian in Nuremberg, Germany |

see comment Explanation: One more comment, the meaning of the phrase I mentionned above fits with your question concerning the pepper. The direct translation of the phrase would be: "If salt is missing, you don´t have much/anything" "If salt is missing, you´re really poor" Good luck, Tone |
