Dinner: Prawn and mayo open sandwich

Image 1: Prawn and mayo open sandwich at Pingvinen, Bergen, Norway

Food Synopsis: Thick slice of bread topped with lashing of fresh lettuce, raw Spanish onions, and cocktail prawns with a creamy mayonnaise dressing. Finished with a sprinkling of cracked black pepper and a wedge of lemon, a good dollop of friendly English-speaking Norwegian hospitality.

I had this dish at Pingvinen, a traditional Norwegian restaurant in Bergen, Norway. See http://www.pingvinen.no/english.html

I had no idea what on earth a 'open sandwich' was, but in hindsight, it was probably fairly obvious that it was bread with topping. It seemed like a typical term for food I didn't want to insult the waitress by asking her to clarify her English translation to us...

It was a shame that the restaurant/pub was so dark, I'm sure this picture could've turned out better with a bit of light. There were no electric lights, only candles in the restaurant, so when my camera phone flashed, it basically also screamed out at everyone in the near vicinity, 'We're tourists!'
