Sour fish 4 - now in Sweden
The other day I was happy enough, for the first time, to run across a package of rakfisk (rakefisk) at a local store. At least it was packed in Sweden, and possibly also produced here. We invited a group of neighbours to a "strange food" summer party and to their surprise this was "better than sour herring". As I did not have the original drink (see July 3) to go with it I tried a calvados-spiced sweet Swedish Christmas aquavit, which turned out very well. Spendrups Old Gold pilsner beer (3,5) blended in OK with it.
To give away the whole menu, we continued with a smoked Canada goose, a potato, olive, and caper salad, and a Sauvignon blanc. After that an Italian peccorino-type cheese. Finally, a dessert on dried fruit with creamy milk.
