I'm from Denmark though, and I think we might have a slightly stronger attachment to it, something similar to the Swedes' relationship to knäcke.<br /><br />I'm going to Japan soon, so I'll keep reading! It will be useful to read a fellow Scandinavian's views on things. Nice to know you can still get rødbeder in Tokyo.

But yeah, Kaldi is great and these import food shops have popped up pretty recently, when I came here 10 years ago it was a real hassle to find import stuff!<br /><br />Contamination - I guess you'll have to start your own kangaroo and koala farm to harvest the meat though, can't find that in a US focused shop!<br />I try to keep the blogroll a bit tight, but I'm going to clean up a bit in a little while, let me see what I can do.<br /><br />Kathryn - It's really good actually, very simple but really good. Mrs. Sunshine claims that it's her favorite among the stuff I cook.<br /><br />Lina - Yep, gotta love the chili oil! The only problem now is that a lot of crappy Japanese brands have popped up and they're missing the spiciness of the real Chinese deal!<br /><br />Chris - There has come a few great things out of Sweden, but yeah, the cuisine is not really among those. Meaballs are good, but hey, in the end it's just like small round hamburgers.<br /><br />Octopus - Yeah, those crazy ikea folks with their Swedish product names that noone can pronounce properly except us Swedes, what's up with that really?!<br /><br />Saraf - Oh, not the free coffee? Mrs. Sunshine always heads for that the first thing!<br /><br />BiJ - Have to admit that I'm a bit jealous! Good season to go there now (oh, heard that they had snow though the other day, so maybe not)<br /><br />AB - Nothing that exciting for the moment!<br /><br />Rmilner - Well, believe me when I say that the Surstromming really really stinks...Mr. Salarymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874380653396343115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531601964128518668.post-10421995550887760832011-05-03T20:19:53.068+09:002011-05-03T20:19:53.068+09:00Japan has a rotten fish delicacy too.
