Charlie's Caviar - A Very Swedish Taste

A reporter at the New York Times once described this Swedish delicacy like this: "Made from cod roe, it is squeezed out of what looks like a bright blue toothpaste tube and should not be confused with fine Russian caviar. Swedes love it, but for the rest of us, it can be hard to swallow, unless a salty and fishy pinkish goo appeals to you."

I use it on eggs, instead of salt, To be honest I use it on every kind of bread made by man just because it's so delicious. It is true, Swedes love it - whether we are 5 or 95 years old. We only seem to share this acquired taste with Norwegians and Finns, while the rest of the world frown or gag after tasting it. 

However, you really should try it, especially with eggs. If you don't live in Sweden, Norway or Finland, you can get it at any IKEA near you, or in specialized stores.

The following videos shows you how Kalles Kaviar was received in Los Angeles, Costa Rica and lastly by Swedish tourists in New York (where they complain about only getting two servings)

Repost 2016: Happy Birthday Norway!

May 17 is the National Day of Norway. 

Norway and Norwegians are undoubtedly the country and the people we Swedes love most in the world, feel closest to and love to joke with and about the most. It's a pity that Norwegians don't appreciate us Swedes as much we do them, but then love isn't always mutual, is it?

As has become my tradition on this blog I give you the most loving joke with Norway and Norwegians ever produced with this classic clip from Swedish television in the early 1960's, "The Helmer Bryds Eminent Five Quartet" with their protest song "Norway".

"Norway" - the protest song 
(translated from Swedish by Bock McMillan)

"It is said that one should not gene-ra-li-ze,
and say for example that "Germany is not good"
One really shouldn't generally do that, I don't think, but this doesn't apply
to the country where Norwegians live.

Norway, Norway,it is a rotten country.
Norwegians, Norwegians, a fucking band of robbers.
Norwegians, Norwegians, they fish bad cod.
So if you see a slob, and he stinks like rotten fish
He is undoubtedly Norwegian.

Yes, the Norwegians they are terrible,
so ugly and so small.
With ties that are disgusting with Norwegian flowers on.
They fool around and fuss, and yodel and go on.
One wonders when one see´s them, how stupid can you be?

Norway, Norway, it never rises "frem".
Norway, Norway, with the thousand "hjem".
Norway, Norway, you stain on our earth.
We can feel the stench all the way down to the Dogger Bank
from your Norwegian smorgasbord.

We should give a real blow to Norway as a nation,
because they have so ugly mountains and have bad pensions too.
They don´t make cars and the bikes they make are lousy
and their only great poet, he is named Peter Dass. (Note: Dass is slang for toilet in Swedish)

Norway, Norway, is the world's worst country.
Norwegians, Norwegians, they should be taken care of.
Norwegians, Norwegians, the people that the Lord gave
a hopeless mind and a forehead that is so low
so that the hat keeps falling off"

Swedish Snus Is Saved!

Snus, is a moist powder tobacco product originating from a variant of dry snuff in the early 19th century in Sweden. It is consumed by placing it under the upper lip for extended periods of time. The precursor of snus, the dry form of snuff inhaled through the nose, was introduced in Europe much earlier. Snus is not fermented and contains no added sugar. Although used in a manner similar to American dipping tobacco, snus does not typically result in the need for spitting and is different from naswar in that snus is steam-pasteurized. (Wikipedia)

Snus is widely consumed in Sweden by a large portion of the Swedish male population and some of the women too. It is considered a healthier way to consume nicotine and has the added benefit of not provoking spiteful comments or hateful glances like the ones smokers get for "polluting the environment".

Snus' sale is illegal in Turkmenistan and the European Union, but due to special exemptions, it is still manufactured and consumed primarily in Sweden and Norway.

The Swedish snus recently came under threat as the EU Commission in its proposed tobacco direktive wanted to regulate the flavors that could be used in snus. It was also suggesting a prohibition to add sodium carbonate, E 500, which is used in all Swedish snus to facilitate nicotine absorption. This prohibition would, according to the manufacturer Swedish Match, ultimately mean "the end of Swedish snus".

Todays meeting of the responsible EU ministers has in Swedish press been described as "a fateful day" for Swedish snus. However, the EU ministers today took Sweden's side, thereby leaving it up to Sweden to continue to determine the flavor and content of Swedish snus.

"I feel very happy", said Minister for Children and the Elderly Maria Larsson, to the waiting journalists on location in Luxembourg. "The joy is for the fact that the tobacco directive has been approved, but in particular the Swedish "victory" on snus. We actually saved the snuff to be free to decide on content, product marketing, ingredients, distinctive flavors and also sodium carbonate and the pouches can maintain their moisture."

How's that for some first life drama?

"If one man can show so much hate, imagine how much love we all can show together."
Helle Gannestad in a tweet on July 23, 2011

During the year that has followed since the horrific events the Norwegians as a people have shown the rest of the world how to deal with acts of hatred. Instead of calling out for revenge they have been standing together for peace, for love and against hate. From the parents, the spouses, the siblings and the children of the victims to the Norwegian royal family, the Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and all other Norwegians (whether indigenous or immigrants) have shown us that with love we can - and will - change the world.

If you are able please take the time to visit the Stavkirken (SLurl) in Second Norway to honor the memory of the victims and the Norwegians.

The World According to the Internet

Created by The Oxford Internet Institute (OII)
I found this interesting and thought provoking map on Joe.My.God. Click it to enlarge.

What struck me first was that I had no idea that 41-50 % of the Chinese population had access to the Internet. 41 percent would mean that at least 550 millions of the country's total population of 1,4 billions.

The second observation was that Africa has no real presence on the Internet yet, except for in the far north and the far south of the continent.

Thirdly, I wondered out loud, "Where the fuck is Norway?"

In a comment on Joe.My.God., someone said that almost all Internet users in Brazil and Venezuela are gay, so now I am wondering if that really can be true?

If it is, I sure am going there for vacations next time. This phrase may finally be useful if I decide to go, "Ei você hunk bonita de um homem, eu posso jogar com o seu Internet depois?"

Who Lights the Stars



Tomorrow there will be a silent moment at 12 PM in Norway and Sweden in memory of the victims on Utøya and in Oslo. Life will somehow go on after the incredible atrocities in Norway.

We must remember there are still good things in life. There is still happiness and love and wonderful children laughing and glorious sunshine and everything that is good in the world. There are still good people that make life worth living.

Listen to Eva Dahlgren ask who lights the stars and who turns the winds. Let her voice help you to start the healing. Let her lift your soul.

Scandinavia in Mourning

As the dust is starting to settle after the horrific atrocities in Norway yesterday,. We are all more or less in a state of complete shock in the whole of Scandinavia.

Our hearts go out to our grieving brothers and sisters in Norway for the awful massacre that was perpetrated yesterday. We are all watching the news directly transmitted from the Norwegian television NRK and are all in tears and utter dismay.

As far as has been reported so far, this is what happened.

Anders Behring Breivik, 32, an ethnic Norwegian and right wing extremist who is also a Christian fundamentalist and a islamophobic nationalist had a field day yesterday.

It all started with a bomb exploding outside a government building in central Oslo at 3.26 PM on Friday. The explosion killed at least seven people and seriously injured ten others. A tall blond man dressed as a policeman was seen close to the location.

The first reports of the massacre on the island of Utøya, outside Oslo, started coming around 18.25 PM on Friday.

The Norwegian Social Democratic Party´s youth organization was having it´s yearly summer camp on the island and had gathered 560 Norwegian and International youths.

Anders Behring Breivik, dressed in a police uniform, called on the youngsters to gather around him for news about the bombing in Oslo. As they did so he proceeded to start shooting them down, one by one. When the youngsters scattered all over the small island to take cover, and hide or attempting to swim away from the island, Anders Behring Breivik started to seek them out in their hiding places and shoot them execution style, one after the other.

He walked around seeking out his victims and shooting those he found in cold blood for approximately an hour and a half before he could be stopped.
Picture shows Anders Behring Breivik shooting at the beach (Photo by Marus Arnesen, NRK)
The death toll on the island is presently at 85 confirmed dead, but it is expected to increase as there are still many listed as missing.

Anders Behring Breivik was apprehended by The Norwegian Police´s Special Forces. He has been taken into custody and is now being questioned by the police on the events.

Our thoughts and love go out to the murdered and injured, their families and friends and to the whole Norwegian people at this time. This is the worst massacre that has happened in the Nordic countries in modern history and is an attack on democracies everywhere.

We will stand together, side by side, with our Norwegian brothers and sisters, to defend our common beliefs and against the aggression of the right wing extremists, the Christian fundamentalists and the islamophobes and xenophobes.

I Love Norwegians!

I really do, but that doesn´t prevent me from making a little friendly fun of our "little rich brothers and sisters" on this day when they celebrate their 106th year as an independent nation!

Did I ever tell you all that my biggest crush as a young man in my early 20´s was a Norwegian guy named Rolf Erik, but alas he was only interested in American Jewish men - well for as long as I knew him.

Tillykke med dagen, norske venner!
