It's a split sausage but took me a while too

Classic Swedish Christmas dish. Microwaved sausage.

I must know more

Either I'm hoping I'm gonna learn about a strange tradition or that I'm about to read a load of carefully crafted bullshit to seem like the former.

Either way I'm happy, so tell me more about your traditional festively microwaved sausages

We take the korv, it's red skin colored with falu rödfärg, and it is microwaved to just before it cracks open. After that we cut the skin and put on mustard and ketchup. It is served with whole grilled onion and Pyssling Pudding. A mix of lime jell-o and chocolate.

Okay I was with you until

Served with [...] Pyssling Pudding. A mix of lime jell-o and chocolate.

What in the hell, this clearly goes much deeper than I imagined

Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time to the rescue! (Though here specifically they do not microwave it)

Such a shame that they ran out of ideas after they moved apartments and were never able to step away from the kitchen smashing with viking weaponry running joke. They were good dudes. I still have their apron lying around.

How classic is it? Because microwaves have not really been around for that long.

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 2y (3 replies)

We used to just eat it cold

Right? They’re obvious not a banana.

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

No they seem suspiciously banana-like imo

After staring at it for a good 15 or so seconds, after knowing that, I can kinda see how it looks like a hotdog lol

The good old Swedish tradition of eating Möbius Sausage on Christmas.

Meron35@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y

Can confirm, the extra dots on the o mean this is indeed Swedish

Thank you! I thought it was some kind of paradox danish at first.

Yanks calling the sausage or wiener "hotdog" never ceases to make me laugh

This looks suspiciously similar to human skin. Am I just drunk?

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It's definitely just robot meat

Resol@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

What is that?

Asafum@feddit.nl · 8 pts · 2y

It's an infinite hotdog! It never ends!

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

A nice treat for the gastric senses

Falukorv. 🇸🇪

Though he kinda deserves it for microwaving it...

We've pretty much adjusted to the Disney censoring but the checkered paint is still desired.

MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Checkered paint is creating unrealistic expectations on regular paint, should be banned imo.

Why is Disney censoring stuff in Sweden? Is it because Donald wears no pants?

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It's just some racist imagery. It doesn't add much to the program but some people think it has high historic relevance. It's just old time Disney being old time Disney. These days they don't want to air the show with that imagery because it doesn't fit their values. That's their choice and always has been.

Old time Disney being old time Disney while new Disney being new Disney

You Scandis in this thread are all lying. I know Satan's anal ring when I see it.

I'm from Finland and we basicly have same customs as Sweden, but I'm still very confused.

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (4 replies)

You should be confused. We've not decided to export this expertly crafted dish yet.

Without the text I would have guessed that it's a somekind of sextoy that I don't understand.
