I suspect the jam may be mine.

Dent isn't meant to be chewed. You're supposed to suck on it. I tend to chew them, but I'm doing it wrong :)

A Guide to Norwegian (and Some Swedish) Candy

Eating Dunder Salt right now. Because it's good. I'm not a fan of all salty salmiakky things though. Was never a fan of IFA. My sister used to eat oodles of those.

Not sure if you're tried Djungelvrål, another Swedish treat. It's one of the salty ones, so chances are you'll hate it - but that is my favorite. We used to have to go to Sweden to get it, or the tax free shop at the airport. A reason to travel right there ;) Now we have them in the supermarket and the magic seems to be a bit faded. I still like them, but since it's not as hard to find them it doesn't feel as special. Hm. Adding it to my shopping list.

They did have shot glasses of tomato juice at Marstrand. Never seen that before.

Snapshots from Sweden: Celebrating Herring Weekend in Marstrand and Klädesholmen

Before going on this trip I told a friend that I hoped there wouldn't be too much herring involved. I knew we were heading into herring territory the first few days, and I'm not that fond of the little fish. As it turned out there was little reason to worry. It turned out to be quite tasty, and served in a wide variety of flavors. I enjoyed it even if it was a bit much in a short time. I preferred the one that was "herring of the year". Old school recipe, just add leek and black pepper. The stronger flavored matjessill was not for me.

Dunder Salt. It's good. In fact I'm eating one right now!

Snapshots from Sweden: Sourdough Bread and Forested Trails at Sundsby Säteri

Quite possibly the best bread we had on the whole trip. The tiny ones at Karlaby Kro were fantastic too.

Snapshots from Sweden: Giant Cinnamon Buns from Café Husaren in Gothenburg

I kept wanting to eat it, but they kept feeding us other stuff!

I want one now. Well... I pretty much always want one.

I'll do my own test this weekend if I can track down a Kit Kat. Any excuse to eat chocolate :)

Jamie can probably say whatever he wants to the chicks, being a very well known tv person in England.

Just wanted to show my love for this story. I wonder how many more coincidences like this there are out there...

Tomatoes Are Evil

I'm like smaller tomatoes, like cherry ones. The bigger ones are more water than flavor in my book. On a side note, tomatoes can actually kill. They even made a documentary about it.

The 24-Hour Fruit Vendors in Chelsea

People should eat more fruit. I tend to buy by colour, is that normal? Always something red, green and yellow. Preferably not on the same item.

Giant Cheetos vs. Regular Cheetos

I guess this is the appropriate place (if anywhere) to put this link:

Giant Cheetos vs. Regular Cheetos

Most of the flavor is on the outside, isn't it? Wouldn't it make more sense to make them smaller and thus improve the yum-to-styrofoam ratio?

A Typical Day on the Kogi BBQ Taco Truck

I'm sure must be mindboggingly awesome, because if it's not... waiting outside in a line for food for two hours borders on insane! (oh yeah, I want some!)

Do Hot Liquids Ease Symptoms of a Cold or Flu?

I can recommend Lemsip, not sure if you have it over there. I have to stock up on it whenever I'm in England. It is a powder you mix with warm water. The original flavor is lemon (and why anyone would have any other is beyond me). There is also some paracetamol and other gobbledygook in there so you can't really chug it down like you might want too. You have lemon tea for that :)
