Wolfgang, can I ask whether you have received the package or not?

Not yet.

It left Sweden the on the 11th of December.

I hope it isn't fresh fruit.

Wolfgang


I hope it isn't lutefisk (Do they eat that in Sweden?). It'll never

make
it past Homeland Security.


On the other hand, if it IS lutefisk.....or grits, or beets, or
haggis, for example....then it really doesn't matter how long it takes
to arrive.

Wolfgang
um.....or plutonium, for that matter.

Talking about traditional national recipes, ever had fermented Baltic
herring?
I is a Swedish speciality with a long tradition.
There was this Brittish TV cook by the name Floyd who said that it was the
second worst thing he ever tasted in any of the available continents, the
worst was some kind of larvae. He came to the conclusion that the only way
to eat it was together with a lot of Vodka......which isn't all that far
from how we eat it ;-)
Don't worry about the package being stopped in customs, as long as the guy
checking the package is a law obiding citizen it should be OK.
Strange though that it should take so long.
(And yes we eat "lutfisk")
