GG,

Thank you for leaving a comment, it is really appreciated.

I'm amazed that so many people here in the UK actually have tried, and liked, these. To be honest, I didn't think that anyone would recognise them. This has been one of my most commented on and discussed posts ever. Maybe I should continue with a series of posts on weird and wonderful Swedish dishes? ;-)

I just had a look at your profile and noticed where you're located - I should have given you a shout when we went over to Marlow for me to try a Wimpy for the first time. :)

I remember buying these when I was in Stockholm, so delicious. It never occurred to me to make my own. GG

Ozzy,

I could have sworn that I had curry wurst with both a bun and some fried potatoes in some different places in German. Having said that, I was quite sozzled at those occasions so I might very well be mistaken. ;)

Nah, double carb portions (like bread with pasta) are weird to Germans.

Foodycat,

Many thanks for leaving a comment!

They are very good drinking food, you just have to be a bit careful if you get them loaded up with various mayo based salads, that could end up well messy. Going for one of these at a gatukök is the Swedish equivalent of the late night kebab here in the UK. :)

Minna,

Simple yet quite tasty - at least to people of a Nordic persuasion! :)

I would lie if I said that I haven't imbibed quite a number of these whilst under the influence of alcohol too.

The tunnbröd ones are really nice, but a bit worse to eat whilst pissed. They do tend to unfurl if you're not careful.

Thanks for leaving a comment, it is always appreciated!

I saw those thin bread ones on No Reservations. I thought they looked like excellent drinking-food.

Ooh, tasty! After a boozy night in Stockholm, I always found these to be the best possible cure! I hadn't heard of the version with tunnbröd, sounds intriguing.

Kavey,

I think it is quite a Scandinavian thing, although the Germans are there and thereabouts too.

It is quite a special thing a very deep rooted part of Swedish food culture. It might not be up there with the Michelin starred restaurants but sometimes you just need something basic and simple.

It's worth giving it a go! ;)

Thanks for taking the time to post a comment.

I've never heard of this - love the double carb load, intriguing!
