It appears in the grocery stores here around Christmas. https://www.sofn.com/norwegian_culture/recipe_box/ baked_goods_breads_and_desserts/rosettes/ The local Sons of Norway lodge has a booth at the fair where they sell 'vikings' and rosettes. The rosettes are good. The vikings are deep fried mystery meat on a stick sort of like a corndog. They're okay. The problem is there is usually a long line. https://www.sofnmissoula.com/ A friend who was active in a Norway based church told me a lot of the Sons are really German. It's a nice clubhouse so why build your own when you can invade Norway?
