The chef at Sognefjellet boil potatoes.
It was the webpage langrenn.com, who first broke the news that the chef at Sognefjellshytta boiled 25 kilograms of potatoes in a week.
- For those who do not know where this cabin is, it is located between the ski track and the road at Sognefjellet, says Chinaman.
He was not particularly surprised that the chef Jan-Tore Amund Lien cook a lot of potatoes.
- It is common to eat potatoes for dinner, says Chinaman.
Sledge and Bakkis said that they also eat potatoes, but it is rarely 25 kg in a week.
- It is probably because of the fact that there are many beds in the cabin, they say and eat a bag of potato chips.

Chinaman still has full confidence says Bakkis and Årris
Earlier this week, United Bakeries announced that they are searching for new sales manager (United Bakeries). Following this, it has circulated rumors that Chinaman was a candidate for the job. Chinaman denies this flatly.
- This is just nonsense. I have a job as a service man in Skierpost and this is my focus, says Chinaman and shakes his head. Anyway, this is a job that is far outside my area. Service is what I can, and it is a service man I want to be.
Bakkis are relieved to clarify the rumors about Chinaman and confirms that Chinaman still has full confidence within Skierpost.
- I am glad that we now can put this away and concentrate about the future. Chinaman still has full confidence say Bakkis and eat a springroll in big gulps.
Årris have the same opinion, adding that this cooperation has a long-term perspective.
- When we signed Chinaman for the team, it was with a long-term perspective, and it would be far too early to have to give up on this already, says Årris and put a bowl of noodles in the microwave.
