The Svalbard sandwich is different from ours.  Instead of two pieces of bread and the sandwich meat or spread in between, the Svalbard sandwich only has one piece of bread, lunch meat or spread on top and then you put a small size sheet of wax paper over it and stack another sandwich on top of it.  Since we go out to the field, we each have a plastic container or a plastic bag to carry our lunch.

    Each day we have our breakfast feast and after breakfast we make our lunches from the breakfast food.   They wouldn't have peanut butter but they know we like it so they buy it for their American customers.  They also have a brown cheese which is not pretty to look at but it tastes good.  It is not as strong as regular cheese but has a bit of a carmel flavor.  There is also a couple of spreads that are similar to liverwurst.  There have been some very interested sandwiches created in our stay;  peanut butter and cocoa krispies, peanut butter and pickled beets.  And there is always the -quick lunch- chocolate bar.

    We eat in a very nice dining room which looks like it is decorated with IKEA furniture.  Our dinner is served family style with as many helpings as we want.  There is main dishes such as ox, salmon, codfish, pork and then almost always potatoes and a vegetable.  There is always a sauce or gravy.
