Obligatory link to a BBC article about the Danish matpakke: http://www.bbc.com/capital/story/20190103-the-norwegian-art-...

I personally end up eating the same thing everyday quite a bit. Lunch is there to make me feel good and give me fuel to continue my day, so I feel like I can't really risk trying something out of the ordinary, at least on a workday. There's too high of a risk that I'll be hungry or cranky in the middle of the afternoon when I have things to do!

You illustrate in interesting psychological effect. Given that the title of the article is "The Norwegian art of the packed lunch", the subtitle is "Could we all learn something from Norway's culture of ‘matpakke’?", and the first sentence is "Every day, across Norway, something strange happens", and even the visible link includes the word 'norwegian', how did you accidentally write Danish instead of Norwegian? Or is it not an error?
Whoops, that's embarrassing. I was thinking it was Denmark and then copied and pasted the article and typed out my response while I was doing something else. People good at multitasking: not me.
