Both convey the impression of trying to understand and honor the other culture – in the first case by paying tribute to the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics, and in the second by demonstrating a desire to learn about the culinary habits of the Norwegian. Both are examples of the struggle with ambiguous meanings and the foreign familiarity of the other; sharing so much in common but existing worlds apart.
