Ok. Now, if you do stop by at the Ikea food store I'd recommend that you'd also try out the Swedish (or Scandinavian) knackebrod. They will probably run the"Wasa" knackebrod, and there will probably be a few variations of it. Quite often we have it with herring. It usually comes in thin slices that will comfortably fit the palm of your hand. It's dry and kind of crunchy, and is rich in fibers. We often eat it simply with some butter or margarine, or with slices of cheese, ham or whatever you feel like putting on it. You could for instance try the basic"Wasa sport" and the "Wasa rag" (add a small circle on top of the last"a"). The first is wheat and the second is rye based.
(In "knackebrod" there is supposed to be two dots on the "a" as well as on the "o", where the first two vowels are pronounced like the "e" in "never", and the last vowel is pronounced like the vowel sound in "bird" or "word". Also the initial "k" must be heard.) P.s. Bonus, and sorry to mention it when thinking about eating...: If anyone of you is suffering from any digestion disorders, like the "number two" doesn't come as smooth as you would like it to, the knackebrod is definitely the way to go. Try four slices of knackebrod a day and in a few days you will notice an improvement. It's actually got a dual capacity, making more solid where needed, or softening it up where needed. Lasse, actually finishing the last of four "mustard herring" covered slices of Wasa sport knackebrod as he sends this message.
