| Is she good to me or what? None of these items are available in the U.S. This really is a barbaric country. |

| Gunnar, I know this is breaking your heart. If we lived closer together I'd invite you over for a little snort. This may well be the only bottle of Gammel Dansk in the western hemisphere. Well, the Danish embassy, downtown, just might have a bottle or two. But the Ambassador has never invited me over for a drink. Hey--Mr. Ambassador: are you reading this? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink... (maybe the guy doesn't like Gammel Dansk--they should recall him). |

| One can of Arboga (10,2% alcohol) would put you over the limit for driving in Sweden. The Anderssons is about half the alcohol content but one bottle would still probably be risky if you were driving. Walking is healthy they tell me! |
 |
| Svenska Nubbar--Swedish "Tacks" as in little nails. This is an assortment of ten different akvavits from various parts of the country. Yumm-O! We'll save this for Jul. |

| And of course food for the mind as well as the tongue. |
You are a lucky boy.
ReplyDeleteSkol to that!
DeleteI assume she went to eat some crayfish - but I don't see any in the photos of gifts from afar.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't get any crayfish this time. There was talk among the relatives of a surströmming party but fortunately she left before that could be arranged!
DeleteHej George ! Arboga öl känner jag igen så även Gammel Dansk. Danskarna
ReplyDeletebrukar servera "en lille en" eller "en förnuftig" Den förnuftige innehåller mer än den lille. Tidningarna är bekanta, kan du läsa dom
eller kollar du bara bilderna? I natt kom här 40 mm regn och åskade
rejält så det var väl slutpunkten på den dåliga sommaren.
Hälsningar !

Hej Johannes: Jag bruka titta igenom hela tidningen och läsa lite noggrannare de artiklar som intresserar mig. Jag tycker särskilt om att läsa "till salu" annonser. Ditt bästa avstånd på kulstötning är imponerande! Ledsen att läsa om sjukhusbesöket. Hoppas att du mår bättre nu. Här i Maryland ligger vi mer än 20 cm under vår normala regnnivå. Det har regnat under natten och det är välkommet!

Dunno what language to use here, so I'll stick to (d)english. What fun to see Gammel Dansk on a US blog. Gammel Dansk can be nice, - especially after eating surströmming. To be completely honest, the best thing about Gammel Dansk is watching the face of a first timer. Talk about acquired taste... Skål (aka cheers).
ReplyDeleteHej Noodle: Thanks for the comment. "Swenglish" is spoken here at Mid-Atlanticmusings. Diaristwoman an I might struggle a bit with Danish but I'm sure we could cope. I like to add Gammel Dansk to warm apple cider in the fall. The GD helps cut the sweetness of the cider to a tolerable level; try it after the weather turns cool. Now surströmming--that's an acquired taste!
