Ah! Here it's called "kumle", or even funnier, "raspeball" (meaning
"grated ball" (ouch!)!!!). Served with mashed turnips, which as we all know,
are the will of Satan to mash, and should be eaten raw and whole as
God intended.

as if it's not gruesome enough by itself.....

Jansons Frestelse is like mashed stinky burned kippers with some cream
poured on it or something isn't it?? I take the latter is a beer sausage??
Who is Bullen? Who is Janson? those sick swedish chefs....

Well any semi barbaric peasant can brew crude potato spirits but only
cultured people can make a good beer! :-) (why US can't make good beer, at
least not proportionally to the population :-)

My stepdad bought a video of Desert Storm assembled by the guiding hands
of Scheisskopf and Ted Turner. Talk about buying into the propaganda!

PS: if I had a choice I'd also take three helpings of pitpalt over smalahove.
