Bingo! https://www.aftenposten.no/meninger/sid/i/6Vxz/Hva-er-egentlig-typisk-norsk
Jeg mener nemlig at vi har svaret i spørsmålet om hva som er typisk norsk. Det er typisk norsk å være opptatt av hva som er typisk norsk. Vi får ofte dette spørsmålet, og vi svarer nesten alltid det samme; fjell, lange og dype daler, Kvikklunsj, ski, påskesol og mye annet.
Good question.
In this sentence, "typical" is used as an adjective describing the Norwegian language.
Who speaks typical Norwegian? What actually is typical Norwegian? What does typical Norwegian sound like?
If you're asking about practices/products/habits/culture that are Norwegian, you would use the adverb, "typically," What (thing) is typically Norwegian?
Translations for both interpretations are accepted. :0)

This might be good Norsk, but the answer seems to be, well, kind of awkward English, from the west side of the pond anyway. UK students may have a very different opinion.
Strictly speaking, brunost was invented long after the end of the Viking age. Something fish-related, like a forefather of lutefisk, is more likely :)
